SUMMARY:Family 2.0 Class
DESCRIPTION:Family 2.0 Evolving with the Family (formerly known as Sandcastles) is a peer support group led by two trained facilitators. The program seeks to help children identify feelings related to divorce. Coping skills are introduced as ways to work through those feelings. Family 2.0 builds on resilience and problem solving skills. \nChildren participate in small\, interactive groups with peers their own age. To make the Family 2.0 experience comfortable and enriching\, trained facilitators lead mindfulness exercises\, yoga movements\, group discussions\, and workbook activities. In addition\, some groups create a poster featuring their original artwork\, including expressing emotions\, family changes\, and ideas of ways to reduce frustration and stress. All materials created by youth are confidential and cannot be used in the divorce process. Parents are not permitted to take pictures of any material the children make. \n2024\nAugust 3\nOctober 5\nDecember 7 \nAll classes are from 8:30 AM – 11:00 AM. \nLearn more: https://www.fcconline.org/service/family-2-0/
