If your kids are doing online learning, all of a sudden you’re not just their parent/caregiver – you’re also their teacher, their lunch server, their recess aid, and their friend, all rolled into one. It can be stressful to take on all these roles and try to keep a level head for your kids. This online workshop with Carmen Holland of NET Community Care CUA will be a safe space where parents, caregivers, and those who interact with youth can talk about the challenges and victories of raising a family, especially during this difficult time.

Raffles and prizes will be given out to lucky attendees! Please pre-register on Zoom to receive the link to join:
