myHealth actively supports parents with children of all ages who want to stay engaged in their child’s life. Young people are more likely to make healthier choices as a teen or young adult when parents create a strong foundation of communication around family values, expectations, and accurate, age-appropriate information. myHealth’s educators present parenting information and resources to over hundreds of parents every year. 

Family Workshops

Growing Up: Families Connecting

A workshop for parents and daughters ages 9-12.  Growing up can be exciting, exhilarating, confusing and scary – all at the same time! Join us for a fun and informative three hour workshop that will take some of the mystery out of puberty and the questions out of adolescence. Prepare to laugh, create, question, learn and grow – TOGETHER!

Youth ages 9-12 and their caregiver, or other trusted adult, will engage in fun and thought-provoking activities that help them learn about: puberty, reproductive anatomy and development in bodies. We will learn what is normal (and great!) about growing up, how to have the best parent-child communication possible, and how to maintain or strengthen family bonds.

Staying Connected: Mental Wellbeing

This workshop will engage youth and their caregiver(s), or other trusted adult, in fun and thought-provoking activities that will help them understand more about mental health.  Topics include stress management, coping skills, and overall mental well-being.  Together, we will learn how to have open parent-child communication, maintain or strengthen family bonds, and how to use different tools and resources to support our mental health.
