More than just mean girls; A series on Relational Aggression

The Center for Excellence in Children's Mental Health and Institute of Child Development of the University of Minnesota are partnering this year to sponsor a series on relational aggression in the context of children's mental health. This kind of aggression is often difficult to detect and is more often seen in girls. Girls tend to place a high value on friendships and use their relationships to intimidate and isolate those who are their targets. The aim of this year’s series is to help those who interact with children and adolescents recognize the signs and symptoms of relational aggression and explore effective interventions and prevention measures.

There are three sessions in total, each costing $50.
