Every month, we host 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.
Events are facilitated by FamilySmart Parent Peer Support Workers. Offered online and in person in some communities.
