Parenting with Mental Health in Mind

---

A kid’s inner world has the power to shape everything—their social lives, academics, and their overall mental state. The likelihood that your kid or teenager—or someone you know—may suffer from a mental health challenge one day is high. In fact, one in five kids suffers from an anxiety disorder. Anxiety is on the rise among kids, and so are depression, self-harm, and so many other mental and emotional health challenges.  

But there’s hope: Research shows one of the best predictors of a kid’s success in life is having at least one consistent, supportive, and caring adult in their lives—and that’s you. The Parenting with Mental Health in Mind: A Parent's Guide for Every Kid course will help you learn the psychology of what’s going on in your kid’s brain and science-based, practical tools to help your kid navigate a mental health challenge. Upon completion of the course, you’ll feel empowered and equipped to meet your kid’s mental health challenges head-on and support them in the way they need most.  

Your guides in this course are Dr. Chinwé Williams, Ph.D., a board-certified, licensed professional counselor, and Will Hutcherson, a national speaker and youth pastor who has worked with the next generation for 15 years. Together, they help parents and caring adults navigate a kid and teenager’s mental health with intention and care using clinical research and real-life stories. 

This small group is a 12 week long group that will START on Tuesday, August 16, 2022 from 6:30-7:30pm and will end on Tuesday, November 1, 2022. 

KID CARE WILL BE AVAILABLE BUT WE REQUIRE NOTICE!
