Esteemed therapist Damour returns to GPS to help us discover what makes young people tick. She will explore what to expect in the normal course of development and when it’s time to worry.

Drawing on decades of experience, practical wisdom, and the very latest research, Damour will reveal the distinct developmental transitions that turn youth into confident grown-ups. Participants will learn how to better communicate with and engage teens in smart constructive ways. She will share the most current advice regarding worrisome behaviors, substance abuse, social media and navigating friendships.
