Welcome
As parents we play an important role in helping our children to develop a sense of security and in fostering their ability to understand and express their emotions. We also serve as models to help them learn how to approach problems or difficulties.
There are many things to navigate as a parent and gaining knowledge and strategies to help ourselves and our children is key. My hope is that this site will serve as a resource for parents to gain knowledge and to help them in supporting their children's growth and development.
About me
I have been in the social work profession for almost 30 years and in a school setting for the last 23 years, 20 of which have been at West Hill.
I have always worked with children and their families and I feel a sense of connection to them. I believe that children need to be heard and need to have a sense of their importance.
As a parent myself and having raised 2 children who are now young adults and living independently, I can say that support from others along the way was invaluable!
I look forward to sharing resources and learning together with you.
