Parenting is Lonely: Coffee and Chat Support Group Program
6:30 PM
The isolation of raising a child with special needs is real. People we once counted as friends disappear or invitations stop coming. Meet other families and receive encouragement as we discuss the article, “13 Things Hard for Me to Admit as a Special Needs Parent.” Lisa Ruman, LISW, CHt, of The Child & Family Counseling Center of Westlake, will facilitate a discussion about ways to find support for the journey.

Coffee and Chat is an interactive support group where families can meet others facing similar struggles. Free, supervised children’s activities are available, but adults and children must register separately.
Location:
Westlake Porter Public Library, 27333 Center Ridge Rd.

Enhancing Growth Mindset to Improve Motivation and Achievement

Does your child struggle with self-doubt? Is motivation an issue? Is schoolwork completed to the best of his or her abilities?

She will provide growth mindset exercises to incorporate into daily activities that can be used to combat common struggles with homework, motivation and self-doubt. In addition, Dr. Dukes-Murray will provide you with ways to help your child identify, express, and regulate emotions as well as ideas for changing negative thinking patterns.
