A Healthy Lynnfield Presents: Healthy Conversations, Healthy Kids

A Healthy Lynnfield, an active community partnership working hard to prevent substance misuse and to ensure those impacted have the help they need, is launching a new four-part series titled, “Healthy Conversations, Healthy Kids.”

“The goal of this series is to provide parents and caregivers and opportunity to hear from experts on a variety of important topics, ask questions, and share their experiences,” said Peg Sallade, Substance Use Prevention Coordinator, A Healthy Lynnfield.

The first session to be held on Wednesday, October 13th at 6:30 p.m. is titled, “Understanding Parents’ Perceptions.” The sessions will be led by Scott Formica, Ph.D. from Social Science Research and Evaluation. He will host a lively discussion on what Lynnfield parents and caregivers have to say about the health of Lynnfield kids.

Some of the questions to be discussed include:

• What are the top concerns parents face while raising kids?
• What positive parenting practices are shared across a large group of Lynnfield parents to help keep kids healthy?
• How can parents work together to best support our kids during this challenging time?

This in-person meeting will take place at the Media Center at Market Street Lynnfield, 600 Market Street, 2nd Floor in Lynnfield.

The next session, on teen marijuana use will be held on November 17, 2021
