Event Details

 

Try Being Me for a Day 

Our children’s physical environments are often stimulating and exciting.  But what if our children are unable to filter out those stimuli? 

“Try Being Me for a Day” is an interactive and unique workshop that provides parents, professionals and caregivers the opportunity to experience how it feels to be a child who struggles with learning and behavior challenges. 

Participants will be led through a series of fun, interactive activities that simulate what these children experience daily. 

You will leave this workshop inspired to try new ways to help your child learn and increase their self esteem, while better understanding their behaviors and motivations.

 

Child care subsidy available on request so both parents can attend

Refreshments provided, bring a bag lunch

Hosted By

Adoptive Families Association of BC



AFABC is a non-profit organization that provides province-wide support services and information to people who are beginning to think about adoption, people who have decided to adopt, and those who have already had a child or children join their family. AFABC also plays a significant role in promoting awareness and recruiting families for the close to 1000 children waiting in foster care for an adoptive family.

AFABC was started around a kitchen table in 1977 by a small group of adoptive parents who needed to share ideas, information, and support.

Vision: A Family for Every Child

Mission: To promote and support adoption
