There’s a reason parenting is called the toughest job on Earth – because some days, it really is! Although it comes with moments of unmatched joy, it can also be challenging and stressful at times as you help guide your kids through childhood.
Come and chat with a mental health counselor about current mental health topics and how to help yourself or your children to prioritize mental and emotional health. This small group experience is a great opportunity to join and connect with other parents while getting feedback from a professional. This will be an open discussion, so come with any questions or topics that you would like to learn more about! Space is limited.
Program notes: This program is for adults only. Also, the Nourish Coffee Bar + Kitchen is open until 8 p.m. if you want to pick up a snack, drink or dinner before or after the session.
This program is presented by Sarah Atherton and Julia DeLettre, mental health counselors from the CHILL program and is hosted by the Winter Park Health Foundation.
