In this month’s Northern Virginia Magazine, author Renee Sklarew wrote a comprehensive and thought provoking article on teens titled, “the Secret Lives of Teens.” The piece addresses the social, emotional, academic and family life realities and concerns for teens growing up in Northern Virginia. Sklarew does a great job of juxtaposing the opinions of Northern Virginia mental health professionals alongside those of the teens she interviewed.  Dr. Oberschneider addresses the impact of the economy and screen time on teens.  We invite you to pick up the August 2010 edition of Northern Virginia Magazine to read the article in it’s entirety.  You can also read the article at:  www.northernvirginiamag.com
