ABOUT THIS SEMINAR
As parents, you want your child to thrive spiritually, educationally, emotionally, and mentally. But each kid is unique. There’s not a one-size-fits-all plan. That is especially true when discussing challenges with mental health. We want to help.
This parents seminar will be led by Dr. Paul Alexander who is an expert in the field of mental health and faith. He will help us navigate the ever-changing conversation and equip you with tools to talk to your child.
WE WILL ALSO HAVE A CONVERSATION ABOUT MENTAL HEALTH FOR STUDENTS AND YOUNG ADULTSFor J-High, High School, College Students & Young Adults
Join us for an honest and practical conversation about mental health. Together, we’ll hear from a guest speaker, learn how to better understand and talk about what we’re experiencing, and explore healthy ways to care for our mental well-being.
This free event is for students and young adults will happen in tandem with our Parenting Seminar. Bring a friend, come with questions, and join us for a conversation that matters.
