Building Your Personal and Community-Based Toolbox of Resources
Children don’t say,” I had a hard day. Can we talk?” They say, “Will you play with me? or Stay out of my room.” Discover fresh ways to communicate with military youth especially when the parent/educator is concerned with mental/behavior health challenges. Learn what steps to take if concerns need to be alleviated and what resources are available. (Registration for our Virtual Session will open June 25, 2024).
