FOR PARENTS
The ministry, with Dr. Hayley Watson, adolescent clinical psychologist from Open Parachute, is hosting three, free virtual sessions for parents, guardians and caregivers on creating a personalized, step-by-step plan for implementing substance use prevention skills in their home.
Participants are required to register in advance for one of the sessions on April 29, May 7 or May 8 from 6:00-7:30 pm PDT. Please share this information within your school community to reach parents, guardians and caregivers of all ages.

The Health and Justice Alliance has created a new, free resource to support family well-being during parental separation. This toolkit contains six key messages, images, social media posts and newsletter text that are linked to practical actions and tangible resources on an updated, interactive website to help parents and children navigate this stressful time and foster resilience.
The six messages address:
· Dealing with Change
· Moving Forward Financially
· Managing Conflict
· Caring for Yourself
· Strengthening Relationships
· Empowering Your Children
