“Let’s Talk Shop” is an event run by Foundry North Shore, Capilano Community Services, NSNH, Parkgate Society, and the District of West Vancouver's Youth Services Team. The event brings volunteer parents of teens from one community together with volunteer teens from another community in a confidential, respectful, and safe environment. During the event, parents will listen to teens describe what it is like in their world – what pressures and issues North Shore teenagers struggle with. The teens share their insights on topics such as relationships with parents and peers, stress, school, drugs and alcohol, internet influences, mental health, and other difficult but important issues. Parents will have the opportunity, if they choose, to answer youth questions on what it’s like to be a parent today.
