Teen anxiety discussed at Boulder Country Day School

Interested in learning about the importance of mental health for adolescents? Then come to Boulder Country Day School to hear Dr. Lisa Damour discuss her new book, "The Emotional Lives of Teenagers: Raising Connected, Capable, and Compassionate Adolescents."

Dr. Damour has also written books about raising teenage girls. She graduated with honors from Yale University and worked for the Yale Child Study Center before earning her doctorate in Clinical Psychology at the University of Michigan. She serves as a Senior Advisor to the Schubert Center for Child Studies at Case Western Reserve University and has written numerous academic papers, chapters, and books related to education and child development.

Dr. Damour also maintains a clinical practice and speaks to schools, professional organizations, and corporate groups around the world on the topics of child and adolescent development, family mental health, and adult well-being.

"Dr. Damour is a great expert on adolescence," said John Suitor, principal of Boulder Country Day. "And one of the things that we learned after coming out of the pandemic, is that we really need to focus on the social and emotional world of our teens. We want this event to be as open to the public as possible, in order to help our teens and parents in the Boulder County area."

The event will be held on, Wednesday April 26, from 6 to 7:30 p.m. at the Boulder Country Day School, 4820 Nautilus Court North, in Gunbarrel. Click on this link to register for the event: https://bouldercountryday.myschoolapp.com/page/event-detail?siteId=797&ssl=1®ister=45432.
