Do you have a device close by right now? Go ahead, pick it up, and marvel at the tech in your hands. Your phone can complete 5 trillion operations per second and handle over 120M Apollo moon missions simultaneously. It's no wonder that we are intrigued by technology and prone to addiction. And, with that level of intelligence in their pockets, it's easy to see why teens are captivated. And now with over 44% of high school students self-reporting that they have "persistent feelings of hopelessness" (CDC Adolescent Behaviors and Experiences Study-April 2022). 

It's a really complicated time to grow up. And unless you understand what's going on inside of their brain, you won't ever understand why teens use technology in certain ways and your empathy and understanding won't be right. 

We hope to see you there as you will receive an abundance of important information. This is 90 minutes long with time for Q&A and will take place in our St. Patrick Social Hall. 

Everyone is welcome to attend!
