Dr. Mark Schillinger: Challenging & Mentoring Our Teenage Sons

Dr. Mark Schillinger, founder of the non-profit, Young Men’s Ultimate Weekend, (a modern-day rite of passage wilderness adventure camp) has been mentoring families for 20 years. Having successfully navigated challenges with his own teen children, his guidance and personal insights are especially key during this time when he is needed more than ever. His work with families was featured on the CNN show “This Is Life with Lisa Ling”, on November 29, 2020. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8cIBRrWmOLI Dr. Schillinger will discuss simple mindfulness-based stress management techniques that take only a few seconds for everyone to do to remain calm, communication that respects everyone’s perspectives, whether they agree with each other or not, and practices that celebrate key qualities of each family member whether it be the physical strength or mental wisdom of a teenager or the money-earning skills of a parent.
