Community Book Study - Teen Resiliency

Continuing efforts around Project Hope: Helping teens live a balanced, valuable, resilient life, a community discussion that began last May with Dr. Chap Clark and continued with Dr. Madeline Levine in January, community leaders plan to host two discussion groups based upon reading Dr. Clark and Dr. Levine’s books. Anyone is welcome to come to the sessions; however, anyone engaging in the discussion is asked to have read the books prior to the first session.

The study of Hurt 2.0 will be followed up by a discussion of Dr. Madeline Levine’s book, The Price of Privilege.  The discussion of Dr. LeVine’s book will take place May 20 and 27  in the main Library of Eastlake High School 7:00-8:30 pm.

Discussion Leader John LaMunyon is the father of two adult children and has over thirty years’ experience working with teens and young adults in community and church based  programs dedicated to developing healthy and happy human beings.  Currently serving as the Lead Pastor of Sammamish Hills Lutheran Church, John is also a participant in Project Hope, a community based coalition slowly forming to combat the issue of teen suicide in our community and build resiliency amongst our adolescents.
