After the very successful run of our Parents Empowerment Lab series, the WBG Family Network invites you to attend a follow up parenting series, ‘Building your Parenting Toolbox’. Designed to provide parents a safe space to feel acknowledged and validated, this series of workshops will also help parents learn practical parenting skills to facilitate raising children during COVID times and beyond. The four sessions will be facilitated by our expert counsellors from the Family Consultation Services.
In case you missed attending any of the Parents Empowerment Lab sessions, we encourage you to watch the recordings prior to attending the ‘Building your Parenting Toolbox’ workshops. To watch the recordings, CLICK HERE
