Brief
Summary:
As
parents and caregivers, you have got the power to transform your child’s
experience with mental health. Join us February 5th at 7pm in our auditorium
(see details below) for our Power to the Parents mental health workshop. We’ll
equip your with practical tips and tools to empower you to reach out and
connect with your children through meaningful conversations around mental
well-being. To guide you in this transformation, The Royal’s Annmarie Nicholson
along with Ian Fisher from the Ottawa Police Service will share their
experience as parents supporting a child through mental health concerns and
crisis.
In
addition to learning practical tips and tools, the workshop will give you an
understanding of:
•
the realities faced by youth today
•
how to lay the foundation for open communication
•
how to recognize when a child might be in distress
•
how to take a reasoned and responsive approach
With a
final note on self-care, parents will leave our workshop feeling ready, willing
and able to reach out to their youth and also care for themselves while doing
so.
