The teen and preteen years are equally tough for girls and parents. Your role and relationship with your daughter is changing. It can be difficult to know how to help her navigate the new challenges and pressures in her life. GENaustin’s Parent Workshops are a resource available to address your concerns. At our workshops, we provide tips, tools, and strategies you can use to raise a healthy and empowered daughter. They are also a space to connect and share with other parents experiencing similar challenges.
Who can attend a Parent Workshop? Girls thrive when they receive support and positive messages from all the adults in their lives. GENaustin’s workshops are beneficial to any adult who cares about girls, not just parents! Participants often include school counselors, social service providers, teachers, principals, aunts and grandparents. We especially encourage dads to join us.
