Heads up
HEADS UP: upcoming or currently running workshops, groups, or educational series for youth, parents and/or their families
Every month, FamilySmart hosts online events for parents & caregivers who are parenting a child or youth with a mental health and/or substance use challenge called “in the know”. We watch a video and share experiences and strategies that help in the hard moments and focus on strengthening our understanding and connection with our kids. Online events are facilitated by FamilySmart Parent Peer Support Workers.
