Kriya Lendzion LCMHC/Teen Whisperer Raising tweens and teens is hard! While keeping our own sanity! Whatever your parenting challenge, I FEEL YA, and I'VE GOT YOUR BACK.

This is a place for info, tools, inspiration & humor to help us guide our kids healthily towards and through adolescence in an increasingly complicated, risky and addictive world. For over 20 years, I've worked with diverse kids from elementary school through young adulthood, in alternative schools for "high-risk youth," juvenile justice, drug and alcohol treatment, middle, high schools and colleges. I've got the earned wisdom and "street certification" of having been a teen addict, as well raising my own bi-racial child as a 100% single mom under tough conditions.

Don't miss Tuesday's free virtual event with Catalyst CT on how to have conversations with our kids of ALL ages (elementary into young adulthood) that help them stay healthy, safe and responsible with their choices around marijuana/THC and other drugs. Including intervening impactfully when they're going there. Anyone who registers will get a copy of the recording, my slide-deck and resources I'm sharing, in case you can't make it live ;)

I have a big favor to ask. I'm finally putting a speaker promo video together (well, the talented Kai Lendzion is) as well as revamping my website soon. If anyone has attended one of my parenting or professional presentations, I would love any testimonials you're willing to give, either named or anonymously. If anyone's brave enough to give a video testimonial, I'll find things to give you (a free consultation, my new fun stickers, buy you lunch for locals)!

Thanks in advance!!!

Tomorrow night!! Year one and two were such big hits. Beth Hockman, Ariana Figueroa and I are back for a third year to talk about Teens (and pre-teens), Screens and Drugs!

So much to talk about right now: the online "manosphere," AI, and how screens are changing adolescence, online gambling. Galaxy gas, 7-OH and the impacts of high concentrate THC on teens/young adults. And how to talk about and guide our adolescents healthily through it all!

Extra goodies for in-person attendees (free Narcan, alcohol locks, treats), but you can log in from home on the IFMA YouTube page! If you miss it live, we'll have it up on YouTube soon.

Thanks to all who came by my very first conference table ever at the Iowa State Counselors Conference in Des Moines and played some drug trivia with me!! I loved representing organizations providing awesome education to students, educators and families, proven to prevent drug use and other self-destructive behaviors.

I had a great time presenting on Preventing & Intervening in Va**ng. And people were just over and above kind.
