BROOKLINE READS The kick-off event for this year's Brookline Reads, focusing on Defending Jacob by William Landay, is a panel discussion, "Born to Be Bad? Ethics, Parenting, and the Law." Participants include an attorney, a judge, and two psychiatrists who share expertise in the legal, emotional, parental, and ethical issues surrounding violent juveniles. Award-winning investigative reporter and mystery writer Hank Phillippi Ryan will moderate. Main Library, Hunneman Hall, Monday, February 24 at 7 PM.
TEEN DATING Leaving Teen Dating Violence Awareness Month on a positive note, most teens do, in fact, experience healthy relationships, using powerful tools they've often learned from their parents, tools such as respect, trust and compromise. Reinforce with your teen the importance of healthy relationships and help reverse the trend of escalating verbal, emotional and physical abuse among teens. If you know someone who may need help, contact Doreen Gallagher, 617.730.2713. For more information, check out the newly revised "Healthy Relationships" section at www.B-PEN.org.
