Families Forward Monthly Meeting – Under 18 (Gateway Association)

Where families can connect with other families, learn from one another, and explore issues that are important (such as schooling, leadership, and community and government support).

October Topic:

ACT seeks to help individuals to struggle less with difficult things in their lives and mindfully connect with things that are most important in a way that is loving and respectful. With an introduction to the concept of mindfulness, ACT does not attempt to directly change or stop unwanted thoughts or feelings, but to develop a new mindful relationship with those experiences that can free a person up to being open, and to take action consistent with what they care about. Join us for this brief introduction to the concepts of ACT and how they can help a caregiver care for their self.
