Workshops for Parents and Professionals

Our workshops are designed for parents, counsellors, child-care workers, teachers and other professionals in the never ending quest for answers on how to guide a child/youth (0-18 years) on the path to becoming a healthy and happy adult. “I love my children but found myself getting more frustrated with their behaviour and was often angry with them. This workshop helped me learn ways to change their behaviour – and my own. I'm having fun with my kids again.”  — Mother of two Pathstone workshops are facilitated by well trained professional staff. All staff have many years of experience working with children/adolescents and families who suffer from mental health problems. Many staff have more than one degree/diploma, and a graduate degree in Psychology, Social Work, Counselling, and Education. We also have access to psychologists, a pediatrician, and a child and adolescent psychiatrist.
