Promoting Resiliency – Laurie Noakes
Tuesday, May 16 @ 6:30 pm
This interactive workshop will address how stress, anxiety and worry affects our bodies, mind and behaviour. We will share some valuable tips on how to communicate with your children and youth about topics such as mental health, relationships and substance misuse prevention. Together we will explore some practical strategies to promote resiliency, as well as strategies to help your children cope with stress. We will also discuss when to be concerned as parents and where to find support. Stress is normal and inevitable in life … let’s give our children the life long gift of positive coping strategies!
