Rainbow District School Board invites parents and guardians to join a webinar on Parenting for Positive Mental Health May 5.
Part of Children’s Mental Health Week in Rainbow Schools, the webinar will be presented by Amanda Lamb, director of the Centre for Family Initiatives at the Pine River Institute.
With a focus on attunement, connection and setting limits, the webinar will help parents/guardians understand their children’s behaviours and development in order to respond with intention and promote mental wellness and growth.
Participants will gain an understanding of their parenting style and the challenges parents/guardians face when children push back.
Located near Shelburne, Ont., Pine River Institute helps adolescents struggling with addictive behaviours and other mental health issues.
As Director of the Centre for Family Initiatives, Lamb brings a deep commitment to the well-being of youth and their families through empathy, acceptance, compassion, positive communication and relationships. She hopes that by educating and supporting families early on, they can foster greater resilience and sustain their mental wellness through difficult times, including life transitions.
The webinar takes place from 7-8 p.m. May 5. Register online here.
