I’m Leah. Oftentimes kids and teens’ feelings are invalidated or told\nthat what they are experiencing is “not a big deal.” That can be very\nfrustrating\, especially as a teen! My goal as a clinical social worker is to\nhelp people\, no matter their age\, work through their trauma\, anxieties\, and\nlife struggles. I understand how trauma and life experiences can shape a child\nor teen’s life which is why I am so passionate about helping youth through\nthese vulnerable years. Growing up with constant access to tech and social\nmedia\, especially during unprecedented times\, is very tough! I want to support\nyou through it all. \n**Brooke Bendix\, AM\, LCSW**  is the founder of Therapyology and a Licensed\nClinical Social Worker who specializes in individual and group therapy for\nkids\, teens and adults. Brooke has over 16 years of clinical experience\,\ntraining\, and education in the field of social work and child development. She\nfounded Therapyology in 2016\, where their mission is devoted to “empowering\nthe next generation” by helping kids and teens develop healthy coping skills\nto manage their emotions\, thoughts\, and behaviors and truly develop their\nsense of identity! \n**Co-hosted by:** Therapyology and Shalom Hartman Institute of North America \n_If you or any family member need accommodations in order to successfully\nparticipate in the program\, please reach out to our team!\n_(https://mailto:jfamily@jccdet.org) \nView event on Jlive: https://jlive.app/events/9524
