Stenzel speaks to more than a half-million students each year throughout the U.S. and beyond. She is the co-author of the book Who’s In Your Social Network? along with Melissa Nesdahl.
According to Stenzel: “Many teens discover too late that uncritical participation can lead to distorted relationships and even stunted personal character.
“This book is for both teens and parents. My goal is that parents, teachers, educators, youth pastors, counselors and mentors will find the latest information on media and technology to help them guide young lives.”
All are welcome to the talk, though registration is required via 360-452-3300.
