Join an amazing group of parents for Lighthouse Parent series. To register call 250- 385- 1114
The Lighthouse Parent series is designed to support parents to find the joy in their parenting and reconnect with their parenting instincts. As parents we can often become overwhelmed with the busyness of life. We lose touch with the sheer joy of being a parent. The stresses on today's family can include school, health, shared custody, and more. There seems to be an overload of information and activity. Lighthouse Parent supports you to reconnect with the parent you hope to be and provides plenty of opportunity to discuss what is currently working for you and the shifts you would like to see to happen. We practice practical skills and offer each other support as we work through the pitfalls and challenges of modern parenting

This 8 session course runs from September 30th to November 18 2021
Join us and explore what anger and stress are. How they affect our bodies and relationships. Learn new skills to manage both and make positive shifts in your life.
The program begins with having participant's gain an understanding of the physiology of anger and stress and how they are similar and different within our bodies.
It builds on this by exploring the roots of anger within our own personal backgrounds, the specific triggers of our anger and then spends time practicing the many ways to recognize anger is building and manage the outcome.
Throughout the time frame of the course participants become very skilled in understanding what is happening to them physically and emotionally when anger strikes, they develop the skills they need to manage these reactions and turn them into measured and planned responses.
The program also looks at ways to manage and reduce life stresses to help alleviate anger triggers and finally focuses on assertive communication so that participants can calmly and clearly communicate their needs and boundaries to others without resorting to anger or aggression.
