Lexington Forum on Youth

Over-Stressed and Under Pressure:
Surviving Adolescence in Lexington

Saturday, February 2, 2008
8:30 AM - 12:30 PM

The goal of this gathering was to explore what can be done to strengthen Lexington’s community support network and to build connections between families, professionals and town leaders striving to address problems of teen stress, substance abuse and suicide. All stakeholders — parents, professionals, students, concerned citizens—are encouraged to attend. A complimentary informal breakfast and a variety of resource materials will be provided.

This half-day forum was sponsored by the Board of Selectmen, the School Committee, the Human Services Committee, and the Advocacy Planning Task Force of the Youth Services Council. The forum consisted of a panel discussion followed by audience comments, questions, and discussion. For more details contact Ellen McDonald at emcdonald@rcn.com.
