PARENT(S) WORKSHOPS
Our Parent workshops equip you with the tools to share your family origin story sensitively and effectively.
We teach you knowledge and skills for responding to your child’s questions and emotions your child as they move through developmental stages. The ultimate goal is to help you and your child build an unshakeable bond based on trust and openness.
CHILDREN WORKSHOPS
Our Children’s workshops empower each child to deepen their understanding of feelings and thoughts around their unique origin story.
We use creative activities and interactive discussions to enable children to foster positive identity development and grow dignity in their story, while meeting and connecting with other kids who ‘get it’.

Our workshops are tailored to the unique needs of every shape and size of family, and always at the very heart of it, your children’s needs.
