Deconstructing Stigma
A Parent Workshop on Teens and Mental Health
May 2 | 6 - 7:30PM

Told through the eyes of its participants, Deconstructing Stigma boldly tears down the misconceptions of what those with mental illness look like. From this positive and interactive presentation, participants will learn firsthand some of the common signs and symptoms, including depression and anxiety, and how to talk to your child.
