Palo Alto High, 50 Embarcadero Rd.
An expert panel of physicians and mental health professionals who will discuss the mental health and wellness of our teens. The goal for this program is to educate and equip parents across a spectrum of teen wellness and mental health issues. It starts with a review of the fundamentals of good parenting - the things we should all be doing on a regular basis to have a good connection with our teens. It then will proceed to a discussion of stress management, and then to a discussion of how to assess situations and get treatment if you feel your child requires professional assistance. There will be significant time for audience Q&A, and there will be handouts and resources to be used beyond the program.
Speakers include:
- Gloria Moskowitz-Sweet, LCSW, PPSC, Coordinator of the Community Education Center at Parents Place in Palo Alto and a professor at San Jose University
- Dr. Amy Saltzman, trained in Internal Medicine, and a founding diplomat of the American Board of Holistic Medicine
- Dr. Tom Tarshis, M.D. a child psychiatrist and founder of the Bay Area Children's Association
- Dr. Meg Durbin, M.D., pediatrician and internist at the Palo Alto Medical Foundation.
