HELPING YOUR CHILD THRIVE IN FORM1

FREE PARENTING WEBINAR

 Is your child transitioning to Form 1 this September?

This is one of the biggest milestones in your child's life and it's more than just a change of school. It's a double transition. Your child is adjusting academically to increased workloads, new subjects, multiple teachers, and greater independence, while also navigating the biological and emotional changes that come with adolescence.

How you support them during this season can shape their confidence, resilience, and success.

Join us for this FREE webinar and discover practical, evidence-based strategies to help your child make a confident and successful transition into secondary school.

 Wednesday, August 19

 5:30–8:00 p.m.

SUPPORTING STUDENTS WITH EMOTIONAL & BEHAVIORAL CHALLENGES IN AT-RISK SCHOOLS

In this present day education system, one thing is clear—our educators must be prepared for the growing behavioural and emotional challenges facing our students.

Rising aggression, violence, trauma, anxiety, and emotional dysregulation are impacting classrooms across Trinidad and Tobago and the wider Caribbean. We cannot continue to respond with yesterday's strategies to today's realities.

Join this FREE 5-hour webinar and gain practical, research-informed tools to understand challenging behaviour, de-escalate conflict, build positive relationships, and create safer, more supportive learning environments.

Whether you are a teacher, school leader, guidance counsellor, or student support professional, this training will equip you with strategies you can begin using from the very first day of the new school term.

Let's prepare today to make a positive difference tomorrow. Stronger educators build safer schools—and every child deserves the opportunity to succeed.

A Personal Commitment to Our Families and Communities

Over the years, I have dedicated my career to supporting children, families, educators, and communities through mental health education, guidance, and trauma-informed practice. One area that has remained especially close to my heart is the growing impact of pornography, sexting, online grooming, and digital sexual exposure on our children and adolescents.

My first Ph.D. in Christian Addiction Counseling included significant research into pornography and its effects. The knowledge I gained has equipped me to better understand this issue and, more importantly, to educate others in a practical, compassionate, and evidence-based way.

As I observe what is happening in our schools and communities, I believe this conversation is too important to place behind a registration fee.

For that reason, I have decided to offer this webinar completely FREE of charge.

My hope is that every parent, caregiver, educator, youth worker, pastor, and community member who works with children will have the opportunity to gain the knowledge and practical strategies needed to help protect our young people in today's digital world.

This webinar is not about fear or judgment. It is about education, prevention, awareness, and empowering adults to have the conversations our children desperately need.

If together we can equip even one family, prevent one child from becoming a victim, or help one parent respond with wisdom and confidence, then this initiative will have been worthwhile.

Join me on Wednesday, July 1st, from 5:00–9:00 p.m.

Admission is FREE. No registration required.
