MA Celebrates Color Spirit Week - Week of 10/11/21
District Parent Virtual Presentation - "Isolation: The New Drug of Choice"
According to Dr. Caroline Fenkel, LCSW, “Parents frequently tell us that they have to beg their teens to get out of the house and see their friends.” Add to this challenge the consequences of living through a pandemic.
Dr. Fenkel will talk with parents about how we can encourage young people to stop isolating while navigating the challenges of public health restrictions as a result of COVID-19.
With the ever-increasing dependence on laptops, smart phones, social media and online gaming, especially during these past 18 months, it’s no wonder teens and young adults prefer to stay in their rooms during their free time rather than connect with their peers IRL (in real life).
This presentation will address the causes of chronic isolation, the effects of living through a pandemic, and will guide parents in ways they can help their teens to break the isolation cycle.
There will be an opportunity for participants to ask questions.

The Zoom link for this presentation will be posted on the district website and sent out by Connect Ed on Thursday, 10/14/21 at 4 pm.
