Project Harmony (projectharmony.com/events/control-to-connection/) is pleased to present an empowering free community workshop, “From Control to Connection: Raising Resilient Teens in the Digital Age,” on Dec. 3, from 3 to 4:30 p.m. at Project Harmony, located at 11949 Q Street.
This interactive, energizing session is led by nationally-recognized expert Erin Walsh of the Spark & Stitch Institute, author of It’s Their World: Teens, Screens and the Science of Adolescence.
Amid growing concerns about technology’s impact on adolescent well-being, this workshop moves beyond traditional lectures and rigid limits. Participants will gain:
- A stronger understanding of adolescent brain development and how it influences digital behavior like constant connectivity, emotional reactivity and risk-taking.
- Science-based strategies for setting tech boundaries that support both autonomy and mental wellness.
- Practical tools and conversation-starters to engage teens in meaningful ways about online opportunities and red flags.
- Connection-focused approaches to build digital resilience and leverage strengths rather than just impose restrictions.
Thanks to the generous support of the John K. and Lynne D. Boyer Family Foundation, this important educational event is free and open to the public. Who should attend: Parents, guardians, caregivers, educators, youth serving professionals and any adult who wants to help teens thrive in today’s digital world.
