Growing Up in Darien with Alcohol: Panel Discussion at Darien Father’s Forum
|
As we [the Darien Father’s Forum] kick off the New Year, Janice Marzano, program director at the Darien Depot youth center, leads a panel discussion with grads from the Darien High School who share their thoughts about growing up in Darien. One panelist is a former captain of the football team who saw how drinking altered his life direction and will speak to the circumstances that led him to drink. We’re also pleased to announce that Trey Laird, co-founder of The Lighthouse, will join the group and offer his insights on how parents can manage drinking issues with their children. It’s important to note that our approach isn’t to rehash research or lament the challenges but rather to help fathers connect with the issues so they can be more proactive in parenting — especially earlier in their children’s lives. So, dads with kids of all ages will benefit from this discussion.
