MTPS Parent Academy: Parenting in a More Wholehearted Way - October 12 at 7PM via Zoom
Moorestown Township Public Schools has been working with local providers to create workshops for the MTPS Parent Academy. This fall we are excited to work with Andrea Valente and Lauren Emma of Courage and Wellness Therapy in Moorestown Their workshop series, "explores how to live, love, lead, and parent in a more wholehearted way. We will look at why 'never good enough' shows up in our lives and how to practice gratitude and joy. During this 60-minute workshop, we will explore how scarcity culture operates in our daily lives; how our anxiety and fear can manifest as scarcity. Concepts are born from the renowned scholar, author and speaker Dr. Brené Brown, using material from the #1 NY Times Best Seller, The Gifts of Imperfection. Discussion will focus on core concepts of Cultivating Gratitude and Joy, Letting Go of Scarcity and Fear of the Dark." This is part one of the two-part fall series. The second workshop will be held on November 11 at 7PM. Please complete the Google Form to receive the Zoom link to the program. MTPS Parent Academy 10/12/2021 Sign-up Form
