Tools to handle tough conversations, set boundaries, and help kids Navigate Conflict

At YSB, our family education programs are expanding – to support youth as well as parents, caregivers and other adults supporting teens and pre-teens.

Our goal is to provide practical tools and resources that help parents feel better equipped to talk to their kids about tough issues, set and enforce boundaries and help their kids work out conflicts with peers or other adults.

We know that families are busy and that fitting another thing into their schedule can be challenging. That’s why we offer a variety of ways for families to get the support they need.
