Programs for Adults
Small groups of 6 to 10 parents, adults, and professionals
come together in discussion circles to read and synthesize
the best resources about youth issues. Sharing problems and solutions
in a safe setting offers much needed support and reminds parents
that they are still the most influential factor in a child's life.
All
the Rage Discussion Circles
Developed by The Ophelia Project®, All the Rage educates parents and adults about today's
youth culture and relational aggression, discusses healthy decision-making
related to relational aggression, introduces helpful resources,
and creates much-needed connections between adults. The topics of
the five weekly sessions are:
- How does it (relational aggression) work?
- Who's involved?
- What's the big deal?
- How can we help?
- What's our job?
