Parent Conversation Series: Dr. Brian Litzenberger on Grace. Tuesday, October 24 at 7pm
Please join us for the second of three special parent gatherings at Parish of the Epiphany, when Dr. Litzenberger will help us to think about what we do when we lose it, grace, and forgiveness. Raising children--healthy, happy, responsible children--is not easy, but you're not alone. Join fellow parents along with leaders in the areas of family, child development, and spirituality as we engage in discussions around raising our children and teenagers. Rev. Nick Myers, Dr. Brian Litzenberger (a psychologist who specializes in adolescence, anxiety & depression, parenting, transitions and much more), and Dr. Angelina Hawley-Dolan (PhD in Developmental Psychology and co-founder and Head of School at Aster Montessori) will join us as we think about parent identity, anxiety, grace, forgiveness, joy, growth, and well-being. The Parent Conversation Series is part of our 4th Soil Parenting Project Grant. All are invited. Childcare is available.
