Fall K-12 Groups @ The Summit - Starting September 22nd!

As a parent, you want what is best for your child, but it is not always easy to know what type of support they need. Fall groups are a great opportunity for students to work on social and emotional skills, while also building connectedness, communicating with others, and honing social skills in a group setting.

Upcoming Groups:

• Elementary School Social Skills 
• Elementary School Anxiety Monsters
• Middle School Social Skills
• High School Anxiety

Join us for a movie night as we watch Turning Red on the Green at Crabapple Market! Relax and enjoy this FREE event with donations benefitting the Summit Counseling Center and the Will To Live foundation!

Suicide Awareness Month: Helping The Community Cope With and Deter Suicide

Thursday, September 29th

10:00 - 11:30 AM

Alpharetta First United Methodist Church

69 N Main Street, Alpharetta

Suicide is the number two killer of people between the ages of 10 to 34. The number of suicides again spikes among our elders in men over the age of 85. Suicide is a preventable death that can be actively deterred by everyday people, but we have to be willing to discuss it and be trained to look for the possible signs. Join us for an expert panel discussion and networking opportunity with local organizations and community representatives!

By original design, parents are there to guide their children, to teach them, and to advise them through the various stages of life. Children look to their parents for wisdom to overcome the challenges of life. When parents age, it can become a very stressful time for their child(ren). What unfolds is a role reversal that neither person is comfortable with. How do you handle the natural decline in memory, physical capability, or overall zeal for life? What is the best way to care for an elderly parent?
