Are the teen years the best years of our lives? At EMC, we’re not so sure about that. That’s why we’re hosting Equipping Teens for Life: A Health & Wellness Conference for Young People and Parents—a day full of compassion, connections and enlightenment on Saturday, April 8, 2017.

Headlining the event is Peggy Orenstein, New York Times best-selling author and Twin Cities native, who will share insights from her most recent book, Girls and Sex.

In addition, expert-led breakout sessions will include:

  • Saying no to academic stress (teens & adults)
  • Creating healthy relationships (teens)
  • Talking to your teen about sex (adults)
  • Dealing with depression (teens & adults)
  • Managing your parents (teens)
  • Understanding gender identity and LGBTQ issues (adults)
  • Coping with grief (teens & adults)
  • And more

Tickets are $10 per student and $40 per adult; boxed lunches will be provided. Register here; seating is limited, so register today. The event will take place at Edina Morningside Community Church, 4201 Morningside Road, Edina.
