FIVE18 Presents: Mending Relationships at Home. This is a group for parents and caregivers of children aged 14-17. The class will last for 10 weeks, meeting weekly on Thursdays from January 23, 2025, to March 27, 2025.

Caring for a child can be both one of the greatest blessings and one of the deepest challenges, as caregivers navigate the needs of their children along with their own. The purpose of this group is to listen to, support, equip, and encourage caregivers as they address the various needs of their child or children. Participants will receive education on how to connect with, empower, and guide their child while also exploring how their own life experiences shape their approach to caregiving.

Registration for this group will be for all 10 weeks of the group.
