Understanding Anxiety
Child and Youth Well-Being Series for Families and Caregivers Tuesday, April 4, 2023 6:30 to 8:00 p.m.
 
CBE educators believe that parents and caregivers can inspire their kids to make healthy lifestyle choices and increase protective factors — in order to do so, they need the right tools and information. Since our understanding of student health and well-being is evolving, it is important for parents to stay up-to-date on the same information so everyone is supporting student success.  This is the fourth session offered in a five-part Child and Youth Well-Being for Families and Caregivers learning series that is offered at no-cost to all Calgary Board of Education employees, families, and community members between December 2022 and May 2023.  
The intention of the series is to advance student well-being by raising family and caregiver's understanding of a variety of health-related topics. Each session focuses on reducing risk factors and increasing protective factors.
 
The last session will focus on Understanding Social Media (May 2, 2023). Communication about this last session will be distributed separately.
 
You are a key partner in your child's education and student well-being is critically linked to student achievement.
 
Thank you for your time and consideration to join us.
Sincerely, 
Mrs. Kivi
