Thriving Families
The OSAP Northwest Quadrant is excited to share our new Thriving Families video! This campaign is all about building strong and thriving families. The first step in building this type of family is being the biggest influence on your children and teens. This influence requires connection and communication.
“Pre-teens and teens will get their information from somewhere,” say Leigh Moerdyke, Prevention and Advocacy Program Manager at Arbor Circle, “they will either get it from their parents or from somewhere else. As parents, we want the information to come from us. And even though it doesn’t feel like it most days, our pre-teens and teens are listening to us.”
The new Thriving Families page on the
Talksooner.org
website is an easy-to-navigate page filled with tips and ideas on how to increase communication, connection and influence with your youth. The first stage of the Thriving Families Campaign will run through mid-February, reminding all parents that your kids are under the influence of something, and it should be YOU.
