Unpacking Identity for Teens: Parenting to Nurture Skills to Bridge Differences

In this video, Legi takes a first step to help her teen Sam explore his answers to the question “Who am I?” “Unpacking Identity for Teens” is an activity that involves parents and teens exploring social identities and reflecting on the ones that are the most important to how they see themselves.
