"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.
