Wellness Wednesday Parent Program: December 14, 2022: Asserting Healthy Boundaries with Family
Program Description:
Pre-College Youth Programs developed this Wellness Wednesday Parent Program during 2020 in recognition of parents who tackled the challenges and uncertainties that formed during Covid-19. This program will empower parents to connect, share, and develop a variety of tactics that will support them in both their professional and personal lives. The program’s mission is to give parents a space to focus on themselves and offers tools to reduce stress. Topics for these workshops will include discussions such as, but not limited to:Healthy & Fast Family Cooking, Discussing Safe Sex with Teens,Surviving Occupational Burn Out, The Power of a Positive Mindset, and Summer Reset. We are offering a safe group space, to create thought-provoking dialogue that will provide useful tools parents require to engage effectively with both themselves and others during these ongoing stressful times. If you are a parent who is looking for a free resource designed specifically to help parents manage their overall wellness, then this program was designed precisely for you.
We welcome all participants to this program, so even if you are not a parent and are interested in this workshop series, please feel welcome to attend! This is the program’s third year running and we always aim to expand our reach; please feel welcome to invite any friends, colleagues, or family members you feel would benefit from this 100% free workshop series.
Workshop Description:
The December 14 workshop topic will be: Asserting Healthy Boundaries with Family. Holidays are one of the most exciting times of year—but they can also usher in some stressful factors like large family gatherings. Whether your family is still gathering remotely post pandemic or are back to entirely in person functions, this workshop will offer support and dialogue ideas to embrace healthy boundaries with your family. Topics for conversation will include but are not limited to: how to encourage positive bodily autonomy for your kids by empowering them to say no to unwanted physical interactions (like hugs or being picked up), navigating discussions surrounding food/body image, and supporting your significant others / how to best communicate to your own significant other that you need more support with a task. This workshop is for anyone who struggles with establishing boundaries and wishes to enhance their own ability to do so, while also modeling positive healthy boundaries for their own children.
It is our hope that this workshop will offer anyone who has been seeking a sense of community for asserting healthy boundaries with family during the holiday season some extra support and a safe space to dialogue with members of the community who are living the same experiences.
