Supporting children as they become young adults is an exciting time.
A significant teaching time can be when a youth begins their menstrual cycle.
This session is designed to support parents in building healthy self-care routines for their child and introducing the topic of getting a period in a positive way.
The workshop provides practical tips and strategies to teach the skills associated with getting a period, how to manage symptoms and how to teach youth to advocate for their needs.
There is a large age range when a child may get their first period and children with special needs may require extra time to acquire the necessary skills.
This session is targeted at parents and guardians of youth ages eight and older.
