This engaging and informative, 2-hour workshop will help parents/guardians significantly improve their interactions and communication with their children and other youth. Attendees will gain an increased understanding of emotional and physical violence – especially relational aggression and cyber-bullying – and their impact on:
-learning/academic achievement, attendance and participation in school
-child/youth development
-school climate and security.
This workshop is being offered in tandem with a Safe School Ambassadors training that AMS students will receive on 11/3-4 so it offers a wonderful opportunity for parents/guardians to learn in synch with their kids. The workshop will equip parents/guardians with knowledge and skills to act effectively when they or their children witness or hear about mistreatment. Through a series of hands-on activities, parents will learn how to use proven communication skills and strategies to encourage their children to talk with them about mistreatment at school, and respond effectively.
