We would also like to share our September and October virtual workshop dates. “Help for the Hard Times” workshops are designed to support parents/caregivers whose child has had an inpatient stay or has had ER visits due to a mental health or substance use concern.

 

As parents ourselves, we know how difficult it can be to support a child after a mental health crisis and we want to help.

The workshops are FREE and registration is required: www.familysmart.ca/workshops. Please find attached a poster here, with dates and info for the September and October sessions for the Fraser region.
