The Brainerd Rotary Foundation recently awarded $2,500 to the Self-Healing Communities Project at Bridges of Hope for the development and implementation of a parent education series to benefit parents of Garfield & Lowell Elementary students.
The series will include both Love & Logic parenting classes and Parent Cafes, which are discussion groups providing parents the opportunity for conversations and connection. The Cafe experience focuses on building the five protective factors within families. These protective factors include:
Resilience: Parent Resilience
Relationships: Positive Social Connections
Support: Concrete Support in Times of Need
Knowledge: Knowledge of Parenting and Child Development
Communication: Social and Emotional Competence
Jodi Kennedy, principal at Garfield Elementary School, and the PTO members will work with Tom & Amy to launch the series. Childcare and meals will be included for the families. The classes will be open to all families attending the Garfield and Lowell Elementary Schools.
Our thanks to the Brainerd Rotary Foundation for their support of this project!
