Supporting Your Teen in Making Positive Choices
Tuesday, March 30, 20107:00 pm
Kelly Center
One of the most challenging times for parents is raising children during the adolescent years. Join Matt Bellace, Ph.D., clinical psychologist, stand-up comedian, and author of “A Better High,”for tips on communicating effectively with your teen. He will explain how to talk with your teen about responsibility, coping skills, alcohol, and drugs. Dr. Bellace uses humor to convey his very powerful message--that we need to support young people in both words and actions if we want them to make healthy choices for themselves.
You can purchase Bellace’s book “A Better High” for $10 by contacting Debra Friedlander at apmdebra@aol.com or Kim Callari at KCallari@aol.com. As sophomore class dean Nancy Love says, “ MattBellace will offer practical wisdom through humor to help support one of the toughest jobs in the world—parenting teens.”
Matt Bellace, Ph.D., has been a youth motivational speaker and comedian since 1995. Dr. Bellace has a Ph.D. in clinical neuropsychology from Drexel University, is a member of the National Speakers Association and a regular at comedy clubs in NYC. His "How to Get High Naturally" program encourages over a hundred thousand students per year to pursue natural highs and make healthy choices. Matt was a recurring comedian on truTV's "The Smoking Gun Presents." His stand up can be heard - and requested - on Sirius XM's Comedy Channels.
