Parents Together program for parents of teens (or soon to be teens). This program is offered through the Shuswap Family Resource Centre for parents of teens who feel challenged in their parenting, want to increase their parenting knowledge, and/or feel that they need extra support in their parenting. We are offering two exciting opportunities for parents this fall:
1. We will be holding five weekly drop-in education and group support sessions on Wednesdays, September 11, 18, 25 and October 2 and 9 from 6:30 to 8:30 pm. at Shuswap Middle School in the counselling centre (come in the front doors and turn left). Typically this is a very supportive group of 5 or 6 parents that is lead by two trained facilitators (Nanika Albricht, parent/teen counsellor at the Downtown Activity Centre, and myself, Susie Steves BSW). DROP INS ARE WELCOME. A parent information sheet for the drop-in program is attached. This is an ongoing program and will continue at the Family Centre after the workshop (below) is over. For more information call Susie 250-833-6406.
2. We are organizing an 8 week Parents Together Workshop to be held on eight consecutive Tuesdays starting October 15, 2013 from 6:30 to 8:30 pm at Shuswap Middle School. The Parents Together Workshop is a 16 hour educational program for parents of teens (or soon to be teens) who would like to begin to explore their parenting and the challenges that arise while parenting a teen. A weekly outline is provided on the attached workshop information sheet. Parents must register through the Family Centre (250-832-2170) or by calling Susie (250-833-6406). Maximum of 12 participants.
