Free Cartwheel Webinar: Friend drama, group chats, and your child

Posted Date: 10/02/26 (02:37 PM)


Hello Haverhill Families,

Friendships can be one of the best parts of childhood — and one of the most painful. If you’ve watched your child navigate friend drama, social exclusion, or the pressures of group chats, you know how hard it can be to know when to step in and what to say.

Join Cartwheel, our virtual mental health partner, and licensed counselor, author, and Washington Post contributor Phyllis Fagell, LCPC, for a free live webinar: 

Friend Drama, Group Chats, and Social Exclusion: What Parents Need to Know

Thursday, October 15, 7–8pm ET

You'll leave with a clearer picture of what children and teens need from the adults in their lives to navigate friendship challenges, build resilience, and maintain healthy relationships.
