Adolescence is a British psychological drama series that delves into the "secret world" of pre-teens and teens, addressing issues like bullying and the contemporary stresses they face. The series emphasizes the critical role of community, schools, peers, and family in supporting youth through these challenges.
Who Should Attend: Parents, relatives, guests, teens, and young adults are all welcome and encouraged to participate in this important discussion.
Preparation: If possible, please watch the series beforehand. If not, don’t worry—we’ll review the key themes during the event to ensure everyone can actively engage.
RSVP: Kindly RSVP at longisland.tsa@gmail.com by October 1, 2025, so we can plan for refreshments.
