Save My Family events are geared to provide parents/guardians with the tools, insights, and resources to better enable them to understand several of the major forces that are impacting kids’ psychological, emotional, and physical well-being. Save My Family has assembled a panel of experts to provide training and inspiration on how to successfully navigate the waters that kids and teens are caught in. Be enlightened by the experts including Officer Gomez, Former FBI Agent Hart, pediatric neurologist, Dr. Condie and event coordinator Kelli Rich. They’ll discuss social media, drugs, addiction, and other issues parents/guardians need to know to keep kids safe. All parents/guardians are invited. All kids ages 12* (ish) and older, or any age with a smartphone, are encouraged to accompany parents. *This discussion will include topics that may be difficult for small children.
