Part of our five pillars of outreach includes Training and Educational Workshops. Have you ever wondered what this means? In short, we educate our parents and their children in many avenues. These include such important topics as Health & Nutrition, Family Finances, Positive Emotional Development, Family Behavioral Skills, and Family Communication.
February marked the start of our Family Financials Workshop in the Bertha Von Glumer Kindergarten. During this hands-on training, we helped our parents understand how to budget for fixed and variable costs and showed them the importance of being financially savvy. Why is this important? By having a stable Family Budget, we can communicate to the families in our program the importance of being responsible with their finances which can contribute positively to their lives. This positive contribution affects the entire family's nutritional health and overall well-being.
Through your support, we can continue to provide this much-needed practical assistance to the families in our program. Stay tuned for more updates on this year's Family Workshops.
