Giving back to our GCS clients and community, we are delighted to sponsor this free webinar, Parenting for Resilience, January 16th at 6pm Mountain Standard Time. Join us for a Zoom presentation and discussion with Parent Coach and Therapeutic Consultant, Vashti Summervill.
Vashti is avid life-long learner with a heart for doing her part to ease suffering. It’s a hard time to grow up. The challenges our kids face are very different from those we faced just thirty or forty years ago – or even five years ago. Parents are navigating a “wild west,” facing challenges past generations have not faced—especially modern relationships with teens and young adults.
Vashti is a Qualified Level 1 Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction Teacher (MBSR) through Brown University, trained in Youth Mental Health First Aid, ASIST (Applied Suicide Intervention Skills Training), and a QPR Instructor (Suicide Prevention Gatekeeper Training). She received her Master’s of Music/Vocal Performance from Western Washington University in Bellingham, Washington, and holds an Elementary Teaching Certificate with a K-12 Music Endorsement.
This 90-minute event will highlight some of the issues impacting mental health and tools parents can use for cultivating greater resilience and deeper connection.
