Book Festival: Dana Dorfman

Join us for a special program featuring author Dana Dorfman and her book When Worry Works: How to Harness Your Parenting Stress and Guide Your Teen to Success in conversation with Dr. Ehrin Weiss, Clinical Psychologist.

With today’s rising adolescent mental health crisis, where the pressure to achieve is a primary source, Dorfman showcases how parents, who often unknowingly exacerbate the problem from their own achievement anxiety, can strike the balance between supporting their children’s current well-being and setting them up for future success. Relying on thirty years of clinical practice and raising her own teenagers in New York City, Dorfman offers practical strategies to guide day-to-day parenting decisions.
