Youth Offering Listening Opportunities
We're excited to share an upcoming FREE event for parents and caregivers of young people. YOLO (Youth Offering Listening Opportunities) creates space for young people to speak and the adults to simply listen.
SAVE THIS DATE: FRIDAY APRIL 26th - times to be announced shortly.
Young people will share about their life experiences as a way to support parents & caregivers understanding of the young people in their life and in general.
Some topics that will be discussed include:
How can I improve communication with the young person in my life?
How do I start the hard conversations without making anyone feel uncomfortable?
How do I talk about substance use?
Where can I learn more?
Community will also have a chance to send their questions and curiosities in! Share this post widely to everyone you know who has young people in their lives.
DM us here to RSVP. Cant wait to see you there! Oh...Did we mention there will be FOOD!
We will share more information as the event gets closer.
This event is in partnership with RISE, a partnership between the City of Maple Ridge and the Ridge Meadows RCMP and supported by the Building Safer Communities Fund.
