For three Saturdays beginning September 18 through October 2nd, Raphael House is hosting a series of KidPower Workshops for parents and children.  KidPower is a program designed to help children and parents with the challenges they face in their daily lives. 

"Children face challenging situations every day at home, at school, online, and in their communities. Sometimes, adults are aware of these issues. Often, they are not. Kidpower teaches children positive, practical, and effective ways to think, move, and speak to stay safe in challenging personal safety situations. Working with children and trying to see the world through their eyes informs everything we do." -KidPower

In our first meeting parents were able to see hands-on how to handle areas of concern such as setting boundaries, bullying, fighting, and personal safety.  It was a great opportunity for parents to set aside time to focus on better preparing themselves and their children for many of life's most challenging moments and everyone appreciated the chance to talk about their feelings, and get positive feedback on how to address them. 

We are very much looking forward to this weekend's workshop where children will be invited to join their parents in learning these important safety and awareness skills. 

Our upcoming workshop schedule is as follows:  (Please call Stephanie or Preeti to register)
Saturday, September 25th 10:30-12:30pm at Raphael House
Saturday, October 2nd 2:00-4:00pm at Raphael House - This workshop will also be offered in Spanish
