The Morris County Library’s Stigma Free September will conclude Sept. 20 with “Learn to Talk to Your Teens: Transformational Storytelling for Parents,’’ on Sept. 20, at 6:30 p.m.
The Whippany library’s month-long focus on stigma is part of the countywide Stigma-Free Initiative in which most of the county’s towns, county government and law enforcement, schools and nonprofit organizations are banding together to help foster treatment and recovery.
The two-hour event will help participants work to improve their ability to communicate a clear message to teens on bullying, drugs, peer pressure, suicide and substance use under the guidance of professional speaker and counselor Anna Toby and professional storyteller Rivka
Willick.
Toby will lead a candid and honest conversation with adults about substance use and the challenges of today’s youth. Willick will share her unique system to discover, shape, transform, and share personal stories focused on the topics that matter.
