LET’S FACE IT, IT’S A TOUGH TIME TO BE A PARENT RIGHT NOW.

Dealing with the challenges of a global epidemic of COVID, as we are also trying to manage yet another wave of racialized violence, is a lot to take on. I’m working with lots of parents of color who are struggling to protect and prepare their children for the racialized world around them. I am also working with white parents who are trying to make a change but don’t know where to start. I too am trying to figure out how to make a difference right now while also raising my three children. So in response to the call of the times, I have created Parenting in Uncertain Times, a 3-part series where I will facilitate a conversation between parents with research backed information and community support. Parenting in Uncertain Times will have three main features:

  • 3 Web-Engagements where you’ll get information and can ask questions;

  • Cultivation Guides to support your practice

  • Community Learning Groups where we can connect and provide support to each other.

If this interests you, please read below for more information on how to proactively tackle the struggles of being a parent during these uncertain times. Our next session will be coming in January 2021

INTERESTED? HERE'S A LITTLE MORE INFORMATION

What↓

My Parenting in Uncertain Times series will provide support to families by bringing psychological/developmental research and best practices to families in the form of an online class paired with live support, consultation and your ability to ask questions and practice skills.

    3 Weekly Web-Engagements: These are 75 minute online meetings where I will share research-backed information about parenting, child development, stress and race. In addition, there will be time for your live questions and consultation with me so we can be specific to you and your family’s needs. While you can attend live, you’ll also be able to watch the video at your own convenience. Dates for these engagements are coming soon!

    Cultivation Materials: This is a set of short, easy to complete prompts to help with reflection and practicing the skills we are refining. The materials will also include “going deeper” sections which point to additional readings and resources that you can tap into.

    Community Learning Groups: This consists of an hour long consultation and community spaces lead led by me that will expand upon the most recent web-engagement. These will be small groups (no more than 10 participants) consisting of web-based meetings where we will get to dive deep into the questions, scenarios and wisdom that each family has to offer. These are optional- can particpate in the series with or without adding these groups. Spaces within these groups are limited- to keep it small.

When/Where↓

Our next session will come in January 2021. Stay tuned for more information! Weekly community learning groups will be offered multiple times during the week (dates are coming) and if more times are needed we will schedule those.

How↓

My program includes the three foundational tenets listed below. Each of these components is built on scientifically established best practices for reducing parental stress, facilitating family cohesion, and engaging in race-based conversation/action:

- The Family Mission Statement
- Grace in Parenting
- Resilience from Storytelling

Who↓

The goal is that this series will be widely available to families who need support in managing the overwhelming stress of our current circumstances and foreseeable future. ALL families are welcome. I have a specific interest in supporting Black and other families of color. I am also hoping that White families interested in making a change, and who also need support, will join. I believe and I think we all know this is, and must be, a collective and supportive effort. I am committed to making the materials and information widely available to anyone who cannot afford it through reduced fee and free slots, as well as through the many resources that can be found in my resource gallery.
