Ann Douglas will be speaking about Parenting Through the Storm. The presentation will focus on individual, family, and community resiliency. The key message is that kids are resilient, parents are resilient, and we can weather life’s storms together. She will share strategies for boosting resiliency (taking good care of your physical/mental health, using parenting strategies that work for both parents and kids, developing good coping skills yourself and teaching these skills to your kids). And she will emphasize the important role that the community plays in all of this. (If it takes a village to raise a child, it takes a village to support that child’s parents.)
