In Person Event for Parents & Caregivers at Grauer School Beyond Behaviours:

When Is it More?  Ages 4 to 8 years   It can be tricky to tell if our kids’ development is on track, if they are going through a phase, or struggling with something more? You are not alone. Join us in person to watch a 30 minute video conversation with Karen Peters, a mental health therapist who supports children, teens and families, for a discussion about understanding the developmental stages of 6 to 8 year old children. Come together with other families to watch this video presentation followed by a facilitated discussion by the Family Peer Support Workers in Richmond. This in person event will be hosted at Grauer Elementary in the school library – 4440 Blundell Rd, Richmond.   This is an informal opportunity to connect and learn with other Richmond families.  It’s okay if you are a few minutes late, we know it is school drop-off time.   Please note: The event is free.  We would like to ask that you please register as the school is generously offering us space, and we want to make sure we are ready to welcome you.    Tuesday, April 16th 9:15 am - 10:15 am
