The Swansea Public Library is pleased to offer the 2nd in a
series of family programs with Dr. Dawn DePasquale. Join us on Saturday February 15th
as Dr. DePasquale presents Grandparents as Parents: How to Handle the
Changing Needs of the Family at the Swansea Public Library from
1:00-2:30PM.
In this day and age,
the typical family is anything but! More and more, we find grandparents are
being called upon to become a parent to their own grandchildren. This can create challenges in your
family. Here's your chance to get some
good, practical tactics to manage your changing family and to set you and your grandchildren
up for future success.
Dr. DePasquale is the founder, CEO,
and Clinical Director of Bell Mental Health Associates. She is a licensed
Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) with a Master’s degree in Clinical Psychology
through the University of Massachusetts at Dartmouth. She has worked in the
Mental Health field since 2000, and her training and experience include
one-on-one treatment as well as family, couples, and group therapy with both
children and adults.
