EVENT FOLLOW-UP RESOURCES:
Shafia Zaloom shared her wisdom and expertise on a topic that is incredibly important to our community: how to understand and support teen mental health. Dr. Damour offered advice on navigating the teen years, and provided key insight on what is important to understand about the emotions of teenagers, when it's time to worry, and what to do about it. We are honored and grateful to have had her as our speaker. Special thanks to our Moderator, Stacy Cohen, Dean of Students at San Domenico School.
