Co-Parenting: Making it Work
We aren’t given a manual on how to raise our tiny humans, aka our children. Bottom line parenting IS hard and not always intuitive. Take the complexities of parenting and layer on 2 (or more) parents who aren’t married and it makes it feel almost impossible! This course will outline the basics to help make Co-parenting easier. With education, tips, tricks, and communication skills, reducing stress for the kids and the parents is possible! Presented by: Erin Pash, MA LMFT

Tuesday, February 18
7-8:15 pm
Henry Sibley High School
