Dating and relationships have become more complex for teenagers over the years. Parents want their children to experience positive, healthy relationships but there are many barriers.

Dr. Jerstad will discuss difficulties in teen relationships from a developmental and cultural perspective, including decisions about sex, dating violence, use of social networking websites in relationships, and challenges with communication.

She will talk about how parents can help their teens deal with challenges and ultimately have healthy relationships in a complex world.
