Come with your questions or just listen. Select DHHS students have partnered with Brown Middle School to lead a conversation about making positive choices for lifelong success with students and parents at Brown.
On Friday, Oct. 25, Brown students will meet with students from DHHS in groups to see a short video, discuss the importance of making positive choices, the impact personal choices have on our lives and those around us, and the differences these choices can make in both the short and long term.
The DHHS students will then present the same video and facilitate a panel discussion for parents on Monday, Oct. 28. Be part of a discussion to explore how parents can support their children to “Be Their Best” from a teen’s perspective!
