"Clear boundaries create a bridge of trust between parents and children, where love flows freely within the safety of understanding." - Victoria, Mental Health Partnerships Learning and Development Specialist

Exploring Parenting Styles: Every parent has their unique approach to parenting, influenced by a range of factors. Through this program, attendees will gain insights into different parenting styles and discover which one aligns best with their family's needs.

“Parenting is a deeply personal journey, influenced by a myriad of factors that make each family's path truly unique. Within the nurturing space of this program, attendees will embark on a voyage of self-discovery, gaining profound insights into diverse parenting styles.” - Kim LCSW, PMH-C, Mental Health Partnerships Program Manager of Clinical Services

Understanding Developmental Stages: Child development is a dynamic process, and understanding each stage is essential for providing appropriate support and guidance. The program will delve into the intricacies of child development, helping parents grasp what to expect as their children grow.

Managing Anger: Parenting can be stressful, and anger is a natural response to challenging situations. However, it's essential to manage and channel that anger effectively.
