Our program coordinator will then share this via IPUL's social media networks. We are also happy to add events to our calendar for people to find.

Statewide Training for November - Rights and Responsibilities: Resolving Disagreements

Due to unforeseen circumstances we had to postpone our monthly training by one week - everything else is the same, but we are holding this training on Wednesday the 20th of November, not Wednesday the 13th as originally planned. We look forward to seeing you there, and apologize for any inconvenience.  ---------- Disagreements happen. But conflict is not  always  a bad thing - it can be constructive. Having a plan to work through it can provide opportunities for everyone to be heard and understood, and improve strained interactions. This training will look at using the least adversarial approach to manage disagreements over how best to help your child, improving relationships for the long term.     Wednesday, November 20, 2019  10:00 -11:00 a.m. MST and again at  6:00-7:00 p.m. MST  Broadcast live from the Boise office and interactive via webinar from anywhere with an internet connection    Idaho Parents Unlimited  4619 Emerald St., Ste. E  Boise, ID 83706     REGISTER :  https://ipulidaho.org/statewide-rsvp  Phone: (208) 342-5884  Email:  parents@ipulidaho.org
