Drama makes for an interesting life, but too much drama? Not so much! Life Skills for Teens will help you (or your teen) build a life with unwanted drama. This fun group will gather to discuss those topics that can make life difficult, providing information, tools, and experiences that can smooth the road in front of you.

Topics will include healthy relationships and warning signs of dangerous relationships, safety and risk with social media, safer sex and abstinence, consent and setting boundaries, handling break-ups and much more!

Birds of Prey @ Chehalis Timberland Library
Feb 4 @ 2:00 pm – 3:00 pm
Stephanie Estrella, founder and director of the all-volunteer organization, Raindancer Wild Bird Rescue, will discuss the natural history of birds and conservation issues facing birds and their habitats. 
She is also the non-profit’s only wildlife rehabilitator. She has credentials from both Washington State and the Federal Government. In addition to caring for needy birds of prey, Estrella makes room for injured or orphaned bats. “Most animals are admitted to wildlife rehabilitation centers,” Estrella said, “because of human activities—habitat loss, vehicles, windows, power lines, barbed wire, poisons, domestic animals, etc.”
The work is important, she said, because it “helps alleviate suffering and gives animals a second chance at life in the wild.”
