Making Sense of Adolescence: Seven Rites of Passage
Access
Crossing the bridge from childhood to adulthood has never been so daunting. Adolescence is longer than ever, yet society today offers little support in understanding or facilitating this transition. This course is designed for parents, grandparents, teachers, administrators, and professionals—anyone who desires to make sense of adolescence. Parents of preteens will find this course invaluable as preparation for what lies ahead.
Making Sense of Adolescence is a two-part course with fourteen sessions. The first part, Seven Rites of Passage, consists of ten sessions. The second part, Adolescence & Sexuality, consists of four sessions and can be registered for separately at a later time if preferred. Part I, however, is the prerequisite for Part II.
