How do you make time to nurture your kids, help them develop good social and academic skills, while still taking care of yourself physically and mentally? The answer is play! Active playtime with your kids benefits you and them in a variety of important ways. If you are like most parents it's a struggle to balance self-care and parenting duties with the rest of your life but in this workshop we have some simple and effective tools to help.

Group Therapy Asssociates and Gainesville Sport & Health Club have come together for Mental Health Awareness Month to offer a free workshop to help you combine parenting, stress management, and fitness.

We know kids love to play but do you know how beneficial it is to them and to you? Join us for a discussion of the benefits of play for your family such as:

• improved cognitive, social, and physical development for kids
• closer emotional connection between parents & children
• the development of healthy habits like daily physical activity
• lower stress and fewer physical ailments for parents
• how incorporating mindfulness can make play more meaningful and fun for you and your children
  

And as a special bonus therapists from Group Therapy Associates will be on site to meet for brief consultations with anyone who is interested in learning more about how therapy and life coaching can help them reach their goals.

This workshop is designed for parents however on-site childcare is available from Sport & Health. Not a member of Sport & Health? Register today using the Non-Member option and recieve a FREE 30-Day membership.
