Carmel Catholic High School will host a parent program on September 17 at 6:30 PM featuring Sam Anthony, focused on giving families practical Mental Fitness strategies they can use at home. The event is designed to help parents strengthen communication with their children, recognize unhealthy patterns earlier, and support young people in building confidence, connection, and better decision-making skills.
The program will cover:
- Understanding Learned Behavior — how everyday patterns take shape and how parents can help reshape them
- Empowering Self-Talk — building a healthier internal dialogue in young people
- Recognizing Gateway Behavior — spotting early warning signs before they grow into bigger issues
- Fact Checking — helping teens separate feelings from facts
- Better Questions — conversation techniques that open doors instead of closing them
- The 3 People Everybody Needs — identifying key sources of support in a young person's life
Parents who attend will leave with simple, usable language, conversation starters, and repeatable Mental Fitness tools they can begin applying at home right away. The goal of the evening is to foster stronger communication within families and give young people more opportunities to ask for help before challenges become entrenched patterns.
Families are encouraged to attend this free community program at Carmel Catholic High School.
