Young adulthood is a critical time, and Steinberg will detail when, why and how to address tough topics from mental health to finances to relationships.

He will offer a blueprint for how caregivers’ roles as parents can evolve to offer empathy and encouragement while adolescents learn to develop fulfilling and independent lives. Participants will learn how to set boundaries and resolve conflicts while maintaining and deepening their loving relationships.

Continuing professional development units are available.

Steinberg is an international expert on adolescence, a distinguished professor at Temple University and frequent consultant for media. He is the noted author or editor of 16 books, including “The Age of Opportunity” and “You and Your Adult Child.”
