Hello JGES Families,

The IWK Community Health team reached out to tell us about programs that could help current needs of families during the pandemic (i.e. focus on anxiety, screen time, behavior challenges, and self-compassion).  These virtual programs can help support us as we transition back into school life. I

The Community Health Teams are a joint partnership between the IWK Health and Nova Scotia Health. Here are the programs:

• My Child is Anxious. Should I worry? - 2 week program
• NEW Screen Time in my Family -  1 week program
• NEW Introduction to Parenting your Teenager - 1 week program
• NEW Self-compassion for parents – 1 week program
• Incredible Years Parenting Program - 12 week program for parents of 6-12 year olds (School Aged) and 14 week program for parents of 3-6 year olds (Pre-school)

Take Care,
Mr. Fry
