MEDICINE HAT, AB-Navigating through the teen years with a child can be challenging but there is help for parents.
The Medicine Hat College is launching a parent-focused workshop series for children between the ages of 12-18. The series is being made possible through The Brandon Niwa Legacy Fund – The Beej Project.
Entitled, “Parenting Through Adolescence,” the series is being facilitated by clinical psychologist, Dr. Emily Wang, and master of social work/registered social worker, Shawn O’Grady.
O’Grady will be drawing on his experience in childhood trauma and family counselling. “This program will help parents better understand their child and learn strategies to effectively communicate, avoid conflict, and work through negative behaviours, in a way that helps instill positive mental health in children as they approach adulthood”, said O’Grady.
