Free Workshop for Parents

By Ms Sophie Chang, School Psychologist

The Radford Secondary School Wellbeing team are excited to offer a 3-session workshop on Managing Parental Stress using Acceptance and Commitment Therapy. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (pronounced as the word “ACT”) focuses on developing psychological flexibility and mindfulness for a better quality of life. It is a form of psychotherapy that teaches people to:

• let unpleasant thoughts and feelings that are out of your control come and go, and
• take action towards living a life you want to live.

The 3 workshops will focus on strategies including mindfulness, self-compassion and values to help you manage difficult thoughts and emotions that parents can experience.

This program is offered to all parents with a student in Years 7 -12 and the group will be capped at approximately 10 participants.

When: Thursday evenings 16, 23 and 30 May 2024

Time: 4:00 pm – 6:00 pm

Where: In person at Radford College, lower level of the Morison Building

Cost: Free
