​
If you are the parent of a school aged child, you have most likely been facing new challenges provided by distance learning.  You may be trying to juggle work, home life, or multiple children with multiple Zoom schedules.  In our practice, we see stressed out parents who are doing their best to manage their children’s education at home.  To be honest with you, children are not adapting as well as we had hoped to distance learning, despite our wonderful teacher’s commitment and engagement.  Parents need a space to connect with one another, offload about parenting frustrations, share with each other what has worked and what has not, and a space to process any emotions that have arisen regarding what it means to be a parent in 2020. 
This ten-week parent support group aims to resource parents with community and a therapeutic space to process emotion.  Open to all California residents who are parents or caregivers to school-aged children.
