On Saturday, April 1 from 10 a.m. to noon the Dietrich Theater in downtown Tunkhannock will host Family Day.
Presented in conjunction with H.A.N.D.S of Wyoming County and the Wyoming County Office of Human Services and sponsored by AllOne Charities & Northeastern PA Healthcare Foundation, this free event includes a presentation on the importance of parental/caregiver self-care, fun activities plus a magic show with Damian the Magician for children, and a pizza lunch for the entire family.
From 10 a.m. to 11:30 a.m., parents and caregivers will have the opportunity to attend a presentation by Rijelle Kraft, M.A. B.A., entitled “Taking Care of Yourself – Building Protective Factors for You and Your Family.”
During her talk, Kraft will share how resilient families start with resilient parents and caregivers. Attendees will learn about the Strengthening Families Protective Factors – five characteristics that keep families strong and thriving. Participants will explore self-care strategies that support their well-being and will have a chance to share it with other family members.
Kraft’s hope is that parents and caregivers will leave feeling refreshed and equipped with some new tools to nurture themselves and their families.
