Rise Up Youth + Parent Live and Interactive Calls

Join the live interactive calls with Susan Schenk/Sperry Bilyea and our guest facilitators from Bright Lights to cover topics that are important to you and your teen (14 yrs and older)

What topics are we covering in 2024?

FEBRUARY: OPTIONS FOR after high school - what to consider? WITH SUSAN + SPERRY

APRIL: LEARNING GAPS — WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW? WITH DR. TODD CUNNINGHAM

SEPTEMBER: IEP + ACCOMMODATIONS: WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW WITH DR. TODD CUNNINGHAM

NOVEMBER: WHEN SCHOOL ISN’T WORKING WITH SUSAN AND SPERRY

Our next call is in February 2024!

What will happen after high school? This is a big question for your teen (and, of course, for you as the parent), particularly if school is not working well for them.

We understand - we’ve been there. So, we are open to discussing:

  • what to consider when supporting your child

  • what are some options that might fit your child the best

  • how do you figure this out with your teen?

Join us - parents and youth 14 years and older on Zoom!

— Emily is not able to attend - however, will continue with our Hosts Susan Schenk and Sperry Bilyea!


Hosted by our co-founders, Susan Schenk + Sperry Bilyea.


Tell me more about the Rise Up Youth + Parent Live and Interactive Calls


Do you want a space where you and your teen can meet with others and discuss important topics, such as stress, accommodations, IEPS, relationships with others, and more?

Do you want to know that you and your child are not alone and how they can learn and gain confidence in who they are?

Do you want people to support you and your teen through a journey they understand and have been there themselves?

Then you’ve come to the right place!

We are working with Bright Lights to bring you support and community so you can show others what you can do — and bring change to the world in a new way!

** The discussions will not be recorded just the expert introduction


CONNECTION

You need a safe space where you and your teen can talk about their learning, emotions and experiences. Where others understand and will say — “me too!”

GET FEEDBACK

Talking with others or hearing their questions and concerns can help you gain insight and perspective. You also have time with our facilitators and experts! This is so valuable!

DISCOVER NEW STRATEGIES

It offers a space where you can discover new strategies from each other and our facilitators to help you make the progress you want — with others cheering you on.


Get inspired and learn from others that learn differently!

Susan Schenk
