Social and Emotional Intelligence for Teens — and Their Parents

Sure, kids are cute and fun and can perhaps even lend great meaning to our flicker of existence aboard this beautiful blue dust ball hurling through empty space. But you know what else? Parenting is tough. Got teens? Even tougher. Pile on the day-to-day stressors common among most modern earthlings, and your connection to your kids can come apart faster still.

Fortunately, there’s AHA!, which for years has been helping teens ​— ​and their folks ​— ​be better versions of themselves. On the grown-up front, the nonprofit’s team of social-emotional educators, parent coaches, and therapists is providing extensive parent education and support this year ​— ​from stand-alone groups to multi-class series, all with Spanish interpretation. 

For more info, we caught up with Melissa Lowenstein, AHA!’s director of programs.
