‘Raising Resilient Kids’ Parent Education Class Offered in Woodbury

“Raising Resilient Kids,” a free, one-session parent education workshop for parents and caregivers of children of all ages will be in Woodbury March 28.

Bob Downs, family therapist, will discuss the skills children need, the core components of resilient families, and how parents can rear children to face challenges, bounce back from adversity, and learn life-long lessons in the process. Downs has worked with families, adolescents and young adults for 30 years.

His latest project, “Family Strengths Mapping,” is a resource for parents to understand and encourage family beliefs, strengths, and skills to immunize children with resiliency skills against future challenges.

The workshop is offered through Community Education and will be 6:30-8 p.m. Thursday, March 28, at Woodbury’s East Ridge High School.

The session is free but registration is required. Registration is available at https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/QGVXW8V.
