Parents, students and teachers are invited to come out to our Café Night in the cafeteria to enjoy poems, songs, dances, workshops and other student performances about teenage mental wellness. Learn about techniques that you can use to connect with your teen from experienced professionals who have dedicated their lives to the promotion of mental health. 

 

Keynote speaker: Jennifer Kolari, Child and Family Therapist

Jennifer Kolari was the parenting expert on CBC's Steven and Chris show and has appeared frequently on Canada AM and breakfast television.  Her advice can be found in many Canadian Magazines such as Today's Parent and Canadian Family.  Her entertaining workshop and insightful strategies are shared with warmth and humor and this makes her a highly sought after speaker with many schools. 

Learn about the Connected Parenting model. Both theory and practice will be explained as participants will leave inspired with practical and useful strategies that they can use to talk to their teenager.
