Issues include: legal responsibilities as an adult, parents' need to obtain permission to make medical decisions for their adult children, registering for voting and military service, and many others. We'll also discuss changes in the parent/child family dynamic when children become legal adults.
Our speakers will be Officer Bradley Young (PAPD School Resource Officer) and Cari Anderson (parent of two recent Paly grads and clinical psychologist who works with children, teens and young adults. Cari is also the Paly PTSA's former VP of Health & Wellness).
