Parenting Support Groups: Balancing Work and Family
In support of our parent and caregiver employees, we are pleased to again offer small parenting support groups. Participants will attend a three-part series, with one session per week for three weeks, led by an accredited therapist.
The sessions will be an opportunity for therapists to discuss common concerns and techniques to help caregivers combat frustrations in the home setting, and to assist parents during the possible transition back to in-person work. There will also be time for discussion so that participants may ask questions and share their own experiences. To aid in these discussions, the groups will be differentiated by the age of the children within your household.
Groups by Age Range:
-
Pre-Schoolers
-
Grade School / Adolescents
Please use the register links for the three-part small group series that most closely aligns with your family needs. Participants must be able to attend all three sessions in the series, and space is limited. Human Resources will reach out to you shortly after registration to confirm your place in one of the group sessions.
