Tricia Wiig, the church’s Children, Youth and Families Minister, says the six-week Parent Wellness Circle will help participants gain insights into their own wellness and focus on areas where they want to grow and make changes as a parent. “Need some support? Or inspiration? Or just want to gather with a group to remember you’re not alone? says Wiig.
Parent Wellness Circle participants gather with a facilitator to: 1) Assess their own wellness 2) Discuss important parenting lessons 3) Support each other as they work on next steps 4) Share the joys and challenges of being a parent and 5) Build community.
