CMHW 2022: Finding Satisfaction and Validation in Parenting

Presented by: Pamela Snelgrove (Child and Family Therapist) and Janet MacQuarrie (Clinical Manager)

This workshop will offer some ideas to build and adjust a parent’s toolbox of effective parenting tips and tricks. Parents and caregivers will learn and be reminded how to use some key concepts and parenting strategies. Daily struggles with mental health challenges often result in emotions that impact parent-child relationships and may be considerations for parents when cueing into and acknowledging their child’s emotions and feelings.

Parenting is hard work and sometimes getting through the day can feel overwhelming. These parenting tips and tricks will help you reflect on what you do that works, broaden your understanding of parenting and perhaps give you some ideas to consider that might make parenting more enjoyable.
