Have a daughter? You might be interested in some of these events:
The mother-daughter relationship during adolescence is one of the most widely recognized and commonly shared challenges; and now you and your daughter can join a Mother Daughter Circle that will foster a greater relationship together. This could be a profound opportunity to help increase positive communication for both of you.
The program is made up of 8 sessions that last 1½ hours each. During these sessions, you will have whole group activities as well as small group components in which you and your daughter meet separately to address role-specific challenges, needs and strategies. The whole group comes together again for sharing of stories or messages, commitments, and acknowledgments. There will only be space for eight pairs of mother and daughters.
The Mother Daughter circle provides a safe, consistent, and strengths-based approach to supporting mothers and daughters and will encourage:
• Empathy and Understanding
When: Thursdays 16:30-18:00 March 31, April 7, 14, May 12, 19, 26, June 9, 16
