How can this workshop help?

As we all know, this time of year can be overwhelming for both students and parents alike. The stress and anxiety that comes with going back to school can be quite daunting. However, we are here to help ease your worries and provide you with valuable strategies and recommendations.

During the workshop, we will delve into a variety of topics that aim to make the transition back to school as smooth as possible. We will discuss effective first day of school strategies that will set a positive tone for the entire academic year. Additionally, we will provide guidance on advocating for your child's needs, ensuring that they receive the support they require to thrive in the educational environment.
Moreover, we will explore valuable insights and practical recommendations for Individualized Education Programs (IEPs).  This will be particularly beneficial for parents who have children with special needs, as we will provide valuable insights and tools to help optimize their educational experience.

Lastly, but certainly not least, we will explore various strategies to help manage stress and anxiety. We understand that these emotions can be overwhelming, and we want to equip you with effective techniques to better cope with them.
This workshop promises to be an invaluable resource for parents, guardians, and students alike. We strongly encourage you to join us on Tuesday at 1pm for an enlightening and empowering session.
Note: Personalized therapy is best offered through a direct therapist-client session.
