Join us for coffee and conversation on Saturday, January 20th from 10:00 am- 11:30 am at the Petworth Library. The address is 4200 Kansas Ave NW, Washington, DC 20011.

This Principal’s Coffee will start with a presentation from Dr. Arrington, Jackson-Reed’s Clinical Psychologist (DC Department of Behavioral Health). She will be hosting what’s known as a parent/family Café from 10:15 – 11:00 am. The topic will be “Building Strong Relationships with Your Children” which will put into action all our ideals and values about nurturing the spirit of family. Essentially, Parent Cafés are a peer-to-peer learning process committed to:

• Introducing and educating parents about the five protective factors that keep families strong;
• Building the five protective factors in the course of the café itself;
• Enhancing community and fostering meaningful relationships among those who are participating;
• Strengthening partnerships between parents and the service provider;
• Providing participants with an opportunity to practice positive communication skills;
• Promoting healing.

Principal Brown and Resident Principal McKenzie will be holding space from 11:00 am- 11:30 am for Jackson-Reed families to discuss topics of their choice.

We hope to see you there!
