Join us for a conversation about Youth & Public Safety with Christy Keating, JD, PCI of The Heartful Parent Collective. We’ll talk about the following:
- how to relay facts about safety
- strategies to employ to keep kids safe
- how to talk to your kids about scary and/or overwhelming events
- how to manage anxiety and where to get support if you or your child are victimized
** This parent education event is separate from the community safety call referenced in PNW Parent Education's previous social media posts. PNW Parent Education is in continued communication with the Seattle Police Department and local Councilmembers about setting up a Community Safety Meeting.
