DAVENPORT, IOWA (February 18, 2022) The Davenport Community School District and the Iowa State University Extension and Outreach are sponsoring Family Cafés to help families navigate the challenges of raising kids. This is part of a series of conversations about mental health, along with other topics, with families who have similar experiences and a trained professional to facilitate these important conversations.
The next family café is happening Wednesday, March 9, 2022, 4:30-5:30PM, at the Davenport Schools Achievement Service at 1702 North Main Street in the 2nd Floor Board Room. The session is titled “Improving Family Life with LPOV (Listening and Point of View).” This fun and interactive workshop is for fifth- to eighth-grade students and their adult family member(s) and is intended to teach and practice active listening skills among family members, as well as assist adult family members and their “tween” children in understanding each other’s point of view.
The registration deadline is Wednesday, March 2, 5PM. Families can register online. They can e-mail Sarah Brennan at brennansa@davenportschools.org to sign-up for child-care or if they need assistance.
