# Mom, help!!! My cap and gown don’t fit

Teens do great stuff to help themselves and the world: volunteer work, student government, sports, etc.  It’s fabulous, but I get anxious hearing about it and wondering how they have time to breathe and actually think and have a quiet moment.  This article gives a fabulous look at all that teens do and the negative impacts it has.  It also provides parents, mentors and teachers key questions to ask teens to help them find a meaningful direction.  It’s worth checking-out.

Also, Sacramento men, I’m facilitating a men’s counseling group, which begins next Thursday, the 12th.  Here’s the link, which tells you more.  Please copy and paste it to view. Thanks for checking it out!
