Parent Focus Group
with Dr. Sharon Gainforth
December 18 • 11:00 a.m. • Fredericton
Hands-on app walkthrough + mini workshop for caregivers
We invite you to join a small, supportive Parent Focus Group led by Dr. Sharon Gainforth, where we will explore BRIDGES Engage together and learn simple, practical strategies to support your child during the upcoming holiday break.
This is not a scientific or clinical study.
It’s a relaxed, caregiver-focused learning session designed to offer guidance, listen to real-life experiences, and create space for meaningful conversation.
Mini Workshop
Topic: "How to Survive During the Holiday Break"
The holiday season brings big changes in school and daily structure. In this short workshop, Dr. Sharon will share simple, family-friendly strategies to help keep things predictable and calmer at home.
