The Family Reset: Workshop Series
Based on our original The Family Reset program
“The only thing a child needs to be emotionally successful is a parent’s emotional availability.”
Kerry Biskelonis leading The Family Reset: School Series at Bentley Elementary
Through education, interactive insight, break-out circles, and supplemental at-home materials, Reset Brain and Body supports parents to build self-awareness of their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors as it relates to their role as parents.
Our Reset facilitator will teach parents effective tools to foster healthy family relationships, build a preventative skillset to overcome parenting challenges, and promote the relationship between parents and educators to support whole child well-being. This three-part on-site program will also establish an action plan to help integrate learnings into the home.
