27th Annual Helping Kids Thrive Parenting Conference
Offering FREE Hands-on, Practical Information for Parents and Caregivers
WHEAT RIDGE - A powerful way to learn top tools, tips, and techniques to help children grow in positive ways is the focus of the 27th annual Helping Kids Thrive Parenting Conference. We know parenting is a tough job and we want to help you find the most effective ways to do the best job possible—no matter your kid’s ages—infants to teens.
Helping Kids Thrive will be held:
Thursday, October 5, 2017
5:00 – 8:45 p.m.
Creighton Middle School
50 South Kipling St., Lakewood
Helping Kids Thrive was born from a serious need in 1990 when community organizations came together and pooled their resources to help reverse the high rate of youth suicide in Jefferson County. The group generated resources and tools vital to raising healthy kids, and they are now available to parents.
Classes address challenges such as how to monitor your child’s social media to help keep them safe, parenting in a marijuana-legal world, taming your child’s anxiety, working through trauma, effective co-parenting, and more. Each year, attendees tell us how helpful the conference is as it provides practical information about how to help children and youth thrive!
