From: The Parent Support Network, Intergenerational Support!
We are launching a new type of virtual Support Group!
When a child is struggling with their mental health, other members of the family can be affected or called upon for support. To foster dialogue among family members, we are now offering a special intergenerational group led by a parent and grandparent team. Parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles, extended family, and adults of all ages are encouraged to attend.
Join us Tuesday, October 26th at 12:00pm EDT for our inaugural online meeting.
Additional Meeting Dates:
Wednesday, November 10th at 12:00pm
Thursday, December 9th at 12:00pm
