MSAPC presents: Mattleman is Back for “Teens, Tweens, and Quarantines” Wed. May 6

Mattleman is Back, Milton!  And Just For You!

At 7:00 p.m. on May 6th, Milton favorite, Jon Mattleman, will discuss, “Teens, Tweens, and Quarantines.”

This interactive presentation for parents is the first in the Milton Substance Abuse Prevention Coalition’s webinar series, Milton Learns Together: Webinar Wednesdays.

on Mattleman is a mental health counselor and trainer with 30 years of experience working with children, teens, young adults, parents and families. We welcome his return after presenting “Minding Your Mind” at Pierce Middle School in 2017 and the Secret Life of Teens and Tweens earlier this year at Milton High School.

“Teens, Tweens, & Quarantines” is a presentation for parents focusing on the impact of COVID-19 on our children.  In a dynamic fashion, this talk will address the teen/tween brain, explain why this pandemic is so difficult for this age group, survey the process of loss, discuss issues related to independence, autonomy, and privacy, and offer perspectives and suggestions that parents can implement immediately.  In addition, parents will have the opportunity to ask questions and get concrete answers for practical steps they can take in real time — who has time to wait?

Attendee Elizabeth Thomas wrote, “What a powerful and insightful man! As a parent of and 8th and 11th Grader, this was very relevant to our family, and his ability to deliver with humor made the audience feel at ease, even when many of us seemed to be feeling at our wits end!”
