Parents can help teens with struggles with social media

BEDFORD – The Lawrence County Probation Department offers a 10-week series starting on January 25, 2024.

“The Parent Project” empowers parents to help transform their teens with social media struggles and peer pressure.  Excessive use of social media has also been shown to have effects on parenting, causing parental distraction, decreasing the level of everyday parental engagement, and making a child more likely to be at risk for injury. They are disconnected from the real world to connect to the virtual world. This disconnect creates gaps in parent-child relationships.

Sessions are on Thursday evenings from 5:30 p.m. until 7:30 p.m. from January 25 – March 28 at the Lawrence County Probation Department at 918 16th St, Suite 600. 

A $30.00 workbook fee is required.
