Community: Healthy Dating for Teens

What does healthy dating look like for teens? Students and their parents are invited to this special presentation to find out.

The workshop will be held from 7 to 9 p.m. Wednesday, January 25, at Kinsmen Lutheran Church, 12100 Champion Forest Drive in Houston, 77066.
