"Generation Bridge Building Bonds, Balancing Tech and Boosting Resilience in Teens" is a parenting teens trilogy designed for foster parents, adoptive parents, kinship carers and other caregivers of youth aged 11-16. Join others in one or all three of these frank, practical and supportive mini-series. The courses can be taken individually together or individually, although we strongly encourage taking Course 1 (Building Bonds) before taking Course 2 or 3.
Each of the three-part courses are facilitated by Karen Schiltroth, a registered social worker with more than 20 years' experience supporting caregivers in Canada and the United Kingdom. Karen has a passion for supporting children's emotional, behavioural, mental health well-being, and building school engagement.
Birth parents who want to benefit from similar learning are encouraged to visit RET Life to sign up for the program offered through River East Transcona School Division.
