“How to Speak Teen”

How to Speak Teen, is a talk meant to support parents and other care givers raising teens of all ages. The talk starts with a short presentation, in which psycho-educational information is forming Maya’s perspective on the major challenges in adolescence and how they relate to communication. The second part and bigger component of the talk, is dedicated to an open discussion – in Q&A format – in which parents are welcome to ask questions and share their own perspectives about the content offered in the presentation, or anything else that was evoked by it.

About the presenter:
Maya Deshe Drori is a licensed marriage and family therapist (MA, CA MFT #86035), who was a special education teacher. She practices therapy in Albany.
Throughout the years, she has worked with adults, adolescents, children, and families in various settings.Maya offers from her experience and unique perspectives both in talks for teens, parents and other adults, as well as on her blog, Musing Maya. https://www.mayadrori.com/musing-maya—blog
