Time is running out ⌛to purchase horses for Night at the Races! 🐎
What are you doing June 6? Actually it doesn't matter!
We'd love to see you at Night at the Races, but if you can't make it, you can buy a horse or two, keep your current plans and still win💲. Whether you're attending or not, the DEADLINE IS MAY 22, unless they sell out before then.

We have a week to go, but horses are limited. At only $35 each, these are the most affordable race horses you'll ever come across. 🤨😉

Use the QR code or visit https://www.greenleafctr.org/night-races to learn more about the event, buy a horse and maybe even figure out a way to make it to our biggest fundraiser of the year, after all. 🎉

ALSO be on the lookout: Next week, we're launching an online silent auction that anyone from anywhere can participate in - more details to come!

Now enrolling! Greenleaf's Teen Anger Management Group is back. It is a 12-week, structured program designed to help teens, 13-17, better understand their anger and develop practical skills they can use in everyday life for better health and wellness.

Group topics include:
• Understanding different styles of anger
• Healthy communication skills
• Setting and maintaining healthy boundaries
• Practical coping tools and strategies teens can practice outside of group

Program Details:
• Teens ages 13–17 (all genders)
• Mondays, 5-6 p.m.
• Greenleaf Family Center, 580 Grant St., Akron, Ohio 44311
• Duration: 12 weekly sessions
• Groups limited to eight participants - so contact Greenleaf soon!

This group is open entry; teens may begin any week once enrolled. We will keep an ongoing wait list in case a group is full.

Referrals should contact Greenleaf at 330-376-9494 ext. 209 or fill out a TEEN MANAGMENT intake form at www.greenleaftctr.org/individual-family-counseling to get scheduled. You can also find additional registration, enrollment and cost requirements at the website or use the QR code above.

Anger comes as a natural and normal emotion for most people. For some, though, expressing it safely and constructively does not. Greenleaf Family Center can help your teen learn to turn anger into positive change. Contact us today.
