Raising Resilient Families
Elim Christian College will be hosting the community seminar "Raising Resilient Families - in life, relationships and their online world" with the renowned Collett Smart. This will take place on the 14th August starting at 7:15pm (gold coin donation) in the auditorium at 159 Botany Rd.

In this interactive seminar Collett discusses:
- How we might harness the resilience factors within each child
- What children want and what they actually need
- Helping young people take their resilience online
- Practical tips for enhancing your relationship with your children and teens
Guest speaker, Collett Smart is a psychologist, qualified teacher and author of ‘THEY'LL BE OKAY: 15 Conversations To Help Your Child Through Troubled Times’ (Hachette)
Would love to see you there!
