Forward/U

You and your family (or families you may know) are invited to attend our 4th annual Forward/U program.  This year, Forward/U is on Saturday, April 18, 2015 from 12-4 p.m. at CCBC Monaca.  The program is offered at no cost to you and your family through Beaver County Behavioral Health Drug and Alcohol Program.  Lunch is free and will be provided beginning at 11:30 a.m, but you must register to attend.

Forward/U is a fun, positive family program designed to help teens and parents navigate today’s tough choices regarding drugs, alcohol, and other destructive behaviors.  Families will participate in a variety of interactive activities to bridge gaps in communication.  Parents will have the opportunity to explore a staged teen bedroom, filled with hidden signs of dangerous behaviors.  Then, you will hear a speaker from the Pennsylvania Office of Attorney General who will discuss cyber safety for your teens.

At the same time, your teens will be participating in a scavenger hunt with meaningful challenges that provide them with a safe opportunity to open up about the many pressures they face daily.  Every teen receives a Forward/U drawstring bag and is entered to win an iPad Mini!

As a parent of teens myself, I know that too often, we struggle to set aside time to nurture our families.  Forward/U is the perfect opportunity to do just that, while learning and growing together.  I hope that you will seize this free opportunity for you and your teens.  Visit http://www.keystonewellnessprograms.org/programs-services/forward-u/ or call 724-432-3474 to register with Keystone Wellness Programs by April 10, 2015.
