OHS Parents and Guardians—

I just wanted to send a reminder of the parent workshops Dr. Henry is holding next week and let you know the location has moved from the OMS Commons to the OMS Media Center. As time passes from November 30, we are sure as parents you continue to be anxious about the physical, emotional, and psychological impact on your children, both now and in the future.  Additionally, the stress of these concerns likely impacts you as well.  To help our parents and ultimately our students with these challenges, Dr. Henry has offered to facilitate two OHS parent group sessions with the following goals in mind:

• Provide an understanding of the ongoing traumatic symptoms and potential risks to your children
• Share strategies to support your children through the summer and into the next school year
• Discuss how to identify and manage your own personal and/or parental stress
• Share strategies to build resiliency for yourself and your children

The format of these two OHS parent group sessions will be a combination of a brief presentation on the areas above, followed by a group discussion Dr. Henry will facilitate.  The first session will be held on Monday, May 23, from 6:30 pm – 8:00 pm in the OMS Media Center.  The second session will be held on Tuesday, May 24, from 6:30 pm – 8:00 pm in the OMS Media Center.  We will record both sessions and make them available to parents at a later time if you are not able to attend in person.  We are hoping to keep the groups relatively small (≤ 50) so that more discussion can occur between parents and Dr. Henry.

If you are interested in attending, please take a moment to fill out this sign up form for one of the two sessions.
