Parent Education Workshops


We created Parent Education Workshops to provide a deeper understanding of learning disabilities and dyslexia for parents, grandparents, siblings, and other support figures.

Our staff and guest speakers share simulations, explanations, and strategies that answer your questions on learning disabilities — all in a friendly, approachable setting.

You don’t have to be the parent of a student enrolled at Churchill to attend one of our events. For more information on Churchill’s Parent Education Workshops, check out our upcoming events below or email Rachel Wheatley at rwheatley@churchillstl.org.

WHAT:
With stress and burnout spiking, many of us believe that our lives would be better if only we were less anxious. But DR. TRACY DENNIS-TIWARY says our anxiety is actually good for us, even though it feels bad. Anxiety helps us focus, create and plan for the uncertain future. As a clinical psychologist and author of 'Future Tense', Tracy argues that we've been looking at the anxiety crisis all wrong. In highly practical talks, she provides a radical new framework for managing anxiety - our brains' response to uncertainty - and using it to our advantage. "When we stop rejecting anxiety," she says, "we will better able to channel it, manage it and use it to prioritize what matters to us in life."
