Our friends at NH Teen Institute are offering a wonderful free resource for the families of pre-teens and teens coming to Manchester starting Feb. 7.  Many parents of pre-teens/teens are finding themselves struggling during this time of transition in their family.  They are seeing increased conflict and a lack of ability to manage their household they way they’d like. Staying Connected with Your Teen is a five week workshop series to help specifically with these issues.
