When our teens show up in explosive ways, we might sometimes blame ourselves, or not know how to respond during those hard, explosive moments. Finding help can feel challenging. Learn with us as Kirk Shields-Priddy (MSW/RSW Group and Family Therapist with Fraser Health START Program) explains some causes of explosive behaviour in teens, and strategies for parents and teens. Discover some approaches that can help us when we are starting to explore resources and supports for our teens’ explosive behaviour. 

This video presentation will be followed by a discussion facilitated by the Family Peer Support Workers in Maple Ridge/Pitt Meadows.

This event is for parents/caregivers only and we are not able to provide childcare. 

Doors will open at 6:15 PM and the video presentation will begin at 6:30 PM. 

We will be hosting this in-person event at Foundry, Maple Ridge

Location: #2-22932 Lougheed Hwy, Maple Ridge (main room)
