Dear CCHS Parents and Caregivers,

"Building a Positive Relationship with Your Teen" is a new 4-part workshop
offered by the Center for Parents and Teachers that will begin on May 4. 
It will be facilitated Anne Westcott, LICSW, a psychotherapist and
consultant in private practice in Concord MA.

Anne provides education and consultation on parenting, trauma, and
attachment, to clinicians, educators, childcare staff, and families. She
is a supervisor at the Trauma Center in Brookline MA and part of the
development team for SMART a new body centered treatment for traumatized
children. She is on the faculty of the Sensorimotor Psychotherapy
Institute in Boulder Colorado. Anne lives in Concord with her partner and
two adolescent daughters.

A few years ago Anne offered a similar workshop that was very-well
received.  She shares information with ease and clarity, and her many
years as a family therapist infuse the workshop with real-life experiences
and solutions to struggles.  

Anne's workshop is offered every few years, so take advantage of the
opportunity this spring!
