Message from Parents

Free Parent Education Event - Tuesday, May 5, 6:00 - 8:00 PM (in-person)

Beyond deep breaths: Real conversations about mental health with your emerging adult

As teens grow into adulthood, mental health conversations need to go deeper than reminders to “just take a break.” This session helps parents navigate meaningful, practical discussions about emotional well-being, coping skills, and when to seek support. Learn how to foster open dialogue, encourage self-awareness, and empower your young adult to build lasting mental health habits for life.

Note: This is a free session for parents/caregivers of students at Scarlett, hosted by our parent society (Friends of Scarlett) and presented by the Imagine Institute for Learning. 

Please register in advance: https://bookwhen.com/imagineinstitute/e/ev-soxcu-20260505180000. At the prompt, enter password 20EPS26.
