One night, three presentations to help parents and caregivers of teens and tweens with resources and information:

One presentation will focus on the history and goals of the Planet Youth Homer Project, including a new “Where Can I Homer” project to help connect teens and children to local offerings. This will also include a Teen Mental Health First Aid presentation by certified local instructors.
Another presentation by Kari Dendurent, Assistant Superintendent of Kenai Peninsula Borough School District, will present data from a recent survey by Hanover Research on school climate and mindset. This presentation will look at the importance of focusing on the social-emotional well-being and mental health of students and staff to better foster feelings of safety, connection, engagement, and ultimately, success.
A third presentation provided by City of Homer Police Department Lieutenant Ryan Browning will focus on teen online safety.

The evening will end with a Q&A discussion with youth-serving professionals. Dinner and free childcare are provided.
