Howard Hiton, MS, LPC: Counseling, Consultation, Training

Too often the topic of gender differences is approached as a zero sum game as if one gender has it worse and that by helping one gender we will hurt the other. This workshop explores the strengths and challenges boys and girls tend to face in terms of relationships without pathologizing either boys or girls. Parents will leave this workshop with new ideas about how to best support their sons and daughters.  Sunset Primary School, West Linn, OR.

This parent presentation examines current data on high risk behavior, biological development in adolescence and the social context of teens that leads to risk taking.  A number of strategies will be shared to assist your family in navigating the adolescent years. There will be time for conversation. Advanced registration here. Emanuel Hospital, Portland, OR.
