For 7th and 8th Graders: Get Real!  is a leadership group led by Beth Jenson, LMHC, about real stuff: real relationships, human weirdness, social issues, sexuality, school, and life. It is designed for (and by) smart, passionate teens that care about being real. Tuesdays from 5:30-7:00 p.m. starting on October 11. For any questions or to register, please email Emilie@thefunhouse.org.

For Parents: Magically Awkward! Helping your kid through their middle school years (and surviving it yourself). Transition. Growth. Complexity. Drama. How can parents prepare for the impending emotional storm of adolescence? Middle school parents can come join Beth Jenson at the Funhouse on Tuesday, October 4 from 6-8 p.m. to join the discussion.
