Parents and Caregivers Workshops

Parent & Caregiver Workshops help families apply

trauma-informed care, mental health literacy, and SEL
strategies at home. Through in-person and virtual sessions,
caregivers learn practical tools for self-regulation, positive behavior
supports, and executive function skills. We also offer multilingual
family workshops to support newcomers and strengthen the
home–school partnership.

Healthy Living for Children, Teens, and Families

What kind of example are you setting for your children? In this workshop for families and caregivers, we look at how daily choices—eating and sleeping habits, mindset, and physical activity—shape the physical and mental health of the whole family.

Together, we’ll examine the characteristics of a healthy, safe, and supportive family and explore trauma-informed parenting strategies and mental health literacy for families.

You’ll identify practical ways to transform your home environment to prioritize physical, mental, and emotional well-being, strengthen relationships, and encourage each family member to become their best self.

Stress versus Anxiety: What’s the Difference? What Can Help?

Everyone feels nervous or worried sometimes—these reactions are normal and can even be a helpful motivator. But when stress and anxiety begin to interfere with everyday life, families need tools that truly help.

In this parent workshop and caregiver workshop focused on anxiety and stress management for parents and children, we’ll build mental health literacy for families by exploring the key differences between everyday stress and clinical anxiety. You’ll learn practical, trauma-informed parenting strategies and simple techniques to support self-regulation skills at home, reduce overwhelm, and create a more safe and supportive family environment for everyone.
