REGISTRATION

Summary: 

Addictive options are expanding for our kids, and becoming more appealing, dangerous, and easier to conceal. Substance use, self-harm, gaming, social media, porn and eating disorders are beginning younger and younger, and impacting our kids mental and emotional health. As parents, it can feel like we're in a constant tug of war with destructive forces pushing and pulling for influence over our kids, and drawing them away from relationships with us. Nationally renowned Addiction and Prevention Specialist, Kriya Lendzion, will empower us with the information and skills we need to help steer our kids healthily through this increasingly complicated, risky and addictive world, starting young. This presentation is appropriate for parents of all ages, and is happening VIRTUALLY, so you can participate from the comfort of your home. It will be recorded, so all registrants will receive a replay if you're unable to attend live. Kriya will remain available for an additional 30 minutes afterward for Q & A. 

To register, visit invent.org/camp. The deadline to register is July 8th!
