Power Up Your Teen: Parenting Strategies for Building Self-Esteem and Increasing Motivation

Speakers will be 

Gayle Alexander, LPC, MA, NC ~ Project SAFE
Steve Maczynski, LPC, MA, NCC ~ Project SAFE 

How does a parent teach life skills while also encouraging self-reliance and a positive self-esteem? Is a healthy self-esteem enough to produce the motivation students need for success? Project SAFE will discuss strategies aimed at stress management and academic success geared toward increasing the student's self-efficacy and confidence. Resiliency is a key concept where families learn how to cope with failure but turn setbacks into teachable moments. Project SAFE would like to share how it teaches youth to recognize triggers for escalating stress levels and strategies for stress management. Come hear how to gain the tools to increase self-esteem while promoting independent life skills and motivation. For more information, visit www.projectsafe4u.com.
