Why the Family Works Seminars?

- because children don't come with instructions
- because parents will worry no matter what
- because homework isn't what it used to be
- because tantrums and yelling aren't the best ways to communicate
- because arguments start when you can't find your keys
-because life is busy beyond belief

THE FAMILY WORKS SEMINAR SERIES

The Family WORKS Seminar Series are designed to empower, educate and enhance the lives of working families by offering practical solutions to common problems. Seminars are offered during the work day with the support and encouragement of employers and the collaborative efforts of non-profit organizations.

Too often, seminars on family life, parent education and wellness are offered in the evening when working parents lack the necessary childcare and energy to attend. Current “after hours” efforts to strengthen our families fly in the face of encouraging parents to spend quality time with their children. We all know that a problem or difficult issue at home invariably takes time away at the workplace, even if it is just a distraction. It can be as simple as having a better organized home or the reassurance that a child’s behavior is “normal” that brings a less harried, happier employee into work that day.

In this fast paced world, people and ultimately families are burning the candle at both ends. The stress, conflict, and health issues generated in many of our current lifestyles can be reduced even overcome with simple, practical solutions. Whether personally, professionally or within the family, it is the goal of the Family WORKS Seminars for people to reflect, to learn and to implement a change for the better. Empowering strong and successful families is a winning situation all around.
