Upcoming and Past Events

“The title says it all. For many, the teen years have become a high-stakes, time-starved pressure cooker of stress, fear, perfectionism, over-achievement, overdoing and, for many parents, over-involvement. For anyone hoping to navigate these turbulent adolescent years and emerge on the other side with a healthy relationship to a healthy, self-aware and independent young adult, this book is for you. Chock full of practical tools, resources and the wisdom that comes with years of experience, The Stressed Years of their Lives is destined to become a well-thumbed handbook to help families cope with this modern age of anxiety.”

—Brigid Schulte, award-winning journalist, nationally-bestselling author of Overwhelmed and director of the Better Life Lab at New America

Drs. Hibbs and Rostain were recently on "Fresh Air" discussing the mental health crisis currently happening on college campuses and the enormous stress today's students face.
