On April 9, we offer in a new 'Author Series' featuring Emily Rapp Black, memoirist and author of The Still Point of the Turning World and Sanctuary. Don't miss this moving event with a NY Times bestselling author! (Online)
On March 23, join April Torres, MFT, Manager of Mental Health Programs, SMUHSD, for a new PHCD Parent CafΓ© (English), Mental Health & Community Resources for School Re-Opening (Online). Parents and caregivers welcome!
What is purpose? Why does it matter? Kendall Cotton Bronk, PhD, Claremont Graduate University, presents Helping Your Children and Teens Find Purpose in Life. Event sponsored by Peninsula Health Care District (April 15, Online).
Looking to build meaningful connections with your kids? We're here to help!
