Parenting Through Crisis

The purpose of this meeting is to identify ways to seek safety, support parent’s mental health, and identify ways to have difficult conversations with their children. The ability to feel safe has become increasingly difficult due to isolation, Covid 19, school violence, and an ever-changing climate of distrust. This intimate space will provide an opportunity for parents to engage in radically honest dialogue with a mental health professional. This meeting will be led by Dr. Jody Adewale (Clinical Psychologist), who has identified topics that are specifically related to parent’s experience in service of their children’s safety, while understanding the need to support their own mental health.
