Hi Families,
Welcome (back) to Brentwood Park! I hope you all had some time to connect and re-connect with loved ones over the summer months and that the start-up to the new school year has been going well so far.
We’re lucky in Burnaby to have so many great community resources to support families. Here are a few updates on these services for Fall 2021:
Burnaby Family Life has many great programs. If you’re interested in the one for LGBTQ+2S families, please note the start date is postponed by one week (starting next week).
- A list of tips and resources for returning to school this fall: https://keltymentalhealth.ca/info/returning-school-during-covid-19
- A free webinar was hosted parents and caregivers earlier this week which you can watch here.
Finally, Family Smart is a terrific organization supporting parents to navigate questions and resources relating to their child’s mental health. Check out this month’s ‘In the Know’ session:
I’ll be posting opportunities like these as I hear of them, so check back here periodically for more info!
