Hello Everyone,

This week I wanted to highlight a few free resources in our community that you may find useful.

Family SmartĀ 

Family Smart is a local organization that has many useful resources for parents and their children. You may be familiar with their In the Know series of workshops, one of which I posted in last weeks blog. All of their workshops are offered free of charge to our community and are currently available as online discussion groups guided by trained facilitators.

Video Series – What you may not know is that Family Smart offers a library of videos with expert speakers on topics important to families who are parenting a child or youth with a mental health and/or substance use challenge or those working to support the mental health of children and youth.Topics include:

  • Building Relationships between home and school
  • Parenting when our children can’t go to school
  • Parenting when anxiety shows up as anger
  • Collaborative Problem Solving
  • Parenting and ADHD
  • Self Harm
  • Video Gaming, Social Media Misuse, and other related digital addictions
  • Plus many, many more.

The videos can be found here:
