Teen Parent Grief and Informational Chat

Following the tragic passing of a Community Montessori teen, Wellstone and Centerstone sent mental health therapists to be present on Monday, November 28th, for teens as they met to be in community with one another and share memories, reflections, and breathing techniques to help support the grieving process.

On Friday, December 2nd, Dr Tom Harris - longtime CM parent and Floyd County Health Director - spoke with CM staff and families about ways to help their teens reduce risk of harm from substance use.
