JUNE 2016

PARENTING WITHOUT GOING CRAZYJune 8th – 6:00pm-9:00pm Presenter: Jodie Tucker, MA [Lead], Founder and CEO of Kids Matter Inc. (see bio pg. 1) Using methods of Guided Participation (GP) participants explore their personal definitions of parenting, their feelings of competence and areas that hold them back. Based on research from developmental psychology, parents can learn how to connect in a meaningful way to their child regardless of the breadth of needs their child has. The incorporated strategies will increase parent competence and address their personal fears around supporting their child. The outcomes from this education module will empower parents to be more effective with all their children and promote a culture of “doing it together” for the entire family.

Venue – Training will take place at Matthew’s House in Abbotsford.

32788 Marshall Road, Abbotsford BC V2S IJ7
