Love Shouldn’t Hurt: A Parent’s Guide to Creating Emotional Safety for Teens

Facilitated by Leticia Francis, this trauma-informed workshop teaches parents how to recognize early signs of emotional manipulation, communicate with empathy, and create a safe, open environment where teens feel comfortable asking for help.

The workshop gives parents the tools to be proactive, protective, and connected.
