Parent Workshop:
The parent resources and parent toolkit bridge the gap between what participants learn during the program and how they can apply those skills and concepts at home. By providing parents with resources that reinforce the themes of empathy, respect, and effective communication, facilitators ensure that the learning extends beyond the sessions, fostering ongoing support and growth in the participants’ home environments.
