Monthly Events That Bring Us Together
Every month, we host online and in-person events for parents & caregivers who are parenting a child or youth with a mental health and/or substance use challenge. 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 Family Peer Support Workers.
