An Evening Presentation for Parents with Dr. Debra Pepler
This symposium will be of interest to parents/guardians interested in learning more about promoting caring and supportive relationships within their family.
Healthy relationships are critical for the development of resiliency in children and youth.
These relationships start at home and then extend to school, peers and the community.
Recent research shows that the quality of children’s relationships is important for many outcomes: healthy DNA and the expression of genes in cells, brain development, behaviour, learning and physical, mental, and social health.
This workshop will:
Provide a deeper understanding of how healthy development depends on healthy relationships, which sets the groundwork for developing resiliency and well-being;
Focus on strategies to support children and youth’s healthy development;
Focus on strategies to support the development of resilience; and
Describe the work being done within PREVNET (Promoting Relationships and Eliminating Violence Network) to promote healthy relationships in all places that children and youth live, learn and play.
