SPARK is proud to offer this new free 3-part facilitated group to promote well-being and address stress and anxiety in children. Facilitated by trained counselor Jon Mattleman, in this group parents will learn new skills and language to be of real assistance to their anxious children, as well as to themselves. This group will also provide resources and tools to help parents/caregivers help their young children manage emotions in healthy ways.

Who:  Parents/Caregivers of Elementary Aged Children

Where:  The Cole Center, 179 Boden Lane, Natick

Limited to 30 participants. Free childcare and meals will be provided.  We invite you to arrive at 6:15 for childcare, dinner and informal conversation.  

We ask you to commit to attending all sessions to build a cohesive and consistent group (and know that life happens so this may not be possible).

Made possible with funding and support by CHNA 7 MetroWest, the Natick Board of Health and Natick 180.
