Parent & Caregiver Education

Count-to-Ten for Parents-Zoom

For parents of children ages 0–18 years | Parenting can be an emotional roller coaster. At times it is full of joy and love and other times it can be scary, frustrating, and overwhelming. Sometimes you may also feel anger as a parent—which is normal. But how you express and manage your anger is an important piece.

If you are interested in learning about anger, how it affects your body and mind, healthy ways to express anger, identifying your anger triggers, and exploring a variety of anger management strategies including communication skills and self-care this program is for you. This 5-week Zoom program is designed to support the parents in understanding how anger is affecting their life, to provide tools to manage anger, and allow them to develop a personal anger management plan.
