Teens of military members the focus of an event during Month of the Military Child

This coming Tuesday, April 13, from 6 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. the Cohen Veterans Network at Alaska Behavioral Health is hosting a Zoom webinar that will focus specifically on teenage children of military members.

Military teens are high-risk for feelings of isolation, depression and anxiety – with frequent moves, school transitions and worry about deployed parents – all on top of the regular teenage stress in a rapidly changing world. This webinar will teach teens ages 12-17 about the effect of trauma and chronic stress on the brain through a hands-on art project (materials provided) and teach skills for mindfulness activities.
