Parent Workshops are here to help parents grow into becoming even better.
Our Wise Parent Workshops series hosts a variety of workshops because all benefit to grow. Whether it’s help with worry and anxiety, setting limits with the phone, differentiating between teen sadness and depression, or normal teen development (to name just a few topics), navigating the waters of raising a kid or teen requires expert knowledge. And let’s face it~not one kid comes with a manual.
Wise Parents Workshops is run by Sierra Dator, MSW, LCSW, founder and facilitator of Wise Girl Workshops. She is a youth and parenting expert with over 23 years experience supporting kids, teens, and parents. You can find out more info about Sierra here.
In addition, please subscribe to our newsletter to make sure you stay up to date with all our offerings. We send out “The Good Newsletter” to our subscribers first who then get priority on registration for all our workshops. You can subscribe here.
