This conference will highlight practical ways to improve and strengthen our families, our schools, and our neighborhoods. It is intended for parents, teachers, human service workers, and anyone interested in changing and improving the quality of life on the North Coast. Conference participants will receive tools for change and have the opportunity to develop individualized action plans that will begin to improve their families, schools and neighborhoods. With today's hectic pace and the many pressures of our culture, it's all too common for parents and children to experience daily struggles. While these struggles may be inevitable, they need not be insurmountable.
Resilient families understand that life can be stressful.
Not only do they anticipate and plan for difficult times, they know how to relax and enjoy life. This workshop will teach practical problem solving techniques and basic stress management tools for parents and children. Participants will have the opportunity to develop a realistic action plan that addresses their individual concerns. Follow-up consultation and support of these action plans will be provided by Tracey Barnes Priestley. This workshop will focus on investigating proven methods for developing and strengthening connections between families and schools that result in personal, social and academic success for students.
