Healthy Relationships Seminar

Posted on by Erica Torsiello

How to talk to your kids about healthy relationships

Our goal is to help adults create an environment in which they can give their pre-teen and teen boys and girls the skills with which to have positive, healthy relationships with peers and in dating situations. We expect that implementation of those skills will help to prevent relationship violence and break the cycle of abuse.  We hope that with the help of this presentation parents will be better able to support their, pre-teens and teens to grow up to become strong men and women who engage in balanced, rewarding and loving relationships. In addition, parents will have laid a strong and lasting foundation for effective communication between themselves and their children

Presentations are scheduled for these Mercer County Library locations:

Twin Rivers
Saturday, April 6th from 1:30pm to 3:30pm

Hopewell
Saturday, April 13th from 10:00am to noon
