 Parents and Teens: A Plan for Successful Dating
Figuring out how to be in romantic relationships is one of the most fun and frustrating parts of being a teen.

- "This is so great...I can hardly believe it's me!"
With so much to think about, join us as we consider how parents and kids can work together for the teen's successful dating. Encourage your teen to join you for this program! Tuesday, February 9, at Jasper High School. PTSA General Meeting starts and 6:45pm and the program starts at 7:00pm. |

 How to Save A Life
When a teen commits suicide, everyone is affected. Family
members, friends, teammates, neighbors, and sometimes even those who
didn't know the teen well might experience feelings of grief, confusion,
guilt - and the sense that if only they had done something differently,
the suicide could have been prevented. It's important to understand the forces that can lead teens to suicide
and to know how to help. Click here for more information.
