All Things Considered... A Healthy Outlook
 
Connecting With Your Child
 
A talk by therapist and researcher Irene Janis, MA
 
March 4, 2006
7:30 pm
CCHS Library
 
There is no harder job than being a parent.
Nothing else touches a person so deeply—or so unpredictably—and there is
no training for it.
 
Irene Janis will discuss how to use Dialectical Behavior Therapy to help
you become a better parent. DBT contains four basic modules: mindfulness,
interpersonal effectiveness, emotion regulation, and distress tolerance. 
 
DBT is used in various forms for parents, adults, and adolescents who are
living the "normal" life, but could use some skills to help them along.
DBT is essentially skills coaching, with interactive and easy to remember
tips, skills, and suggestions on how to make it through certain
interpersonal conflicts, difficult situations, or just generally feeling
down. CCHS students may attend a student-focused DBT presentation as a
part of Health Week on Tuesday March 3. In a recent survey, 49% of
students stated that they feel stressed to perform well at school always
or most of the time. This stress can transfer into risky behaviors and
stress at home. This Parent presentation will teach you how to support,
validate and connect with your child as you both learn to better tolerate
and survive the stressors of 
everyday life.
About the speaker: 
Irene Janis has done clinical training at Cambridge Hospital, Judge Baker
Children's Center, Two Brattle Center, Massachusetts General Hospital, and
The Guidance Center of Cambridge. Janis currently runs a DBT group for
adolescents at Two Brattle Center.
