Parent Education
Our Parent Education programs are ideal for any caregivers who want to enjoy caregiving more, shift from reacting to responding, and learn effective strategies. Join other parents and caregivers in our 6-week, virtual "Caring for You" or "Caring for Them" series, or access parent education and support through our consultative services. These offerings are available to anyone; you're child doesn't have to attend Aspire for you to access our Parent Education programs.

What to expect:
Caring for You: The goal of this 6-week series is to encourage you to find time to be present with yourself, build self-compassion, and discover the rejuvenating practices and activities that you can engage in to be in the best space possible to care for others. Discussion will include strategies for identifying and reframing aspects of parenting/caregiving that trigger impatience and frustration, as well as the value of modeling the type of behaviour you want your children to engage in. Join with other parents and caregivers for this virtual series.
Caring for Them: This follow-up 6-week series builds on the practices developed in the “Caring for You” series. Discussion will center around practical strategies for being more present with your children, managing difficult parenting/caregiving moments with grace, and fostering cohesive carryover and consistent results from your child’s program at Aspire. Join with other parents and caregivers for this virtual series.
​
Consultative Services: Our team is happy to provide individualized parent support. Please contact Aspire to discuss this opportunity further.
