Parent Liaison Collaborative
The Wellness in Schools Program hosts the Parent Liaison Collaborative, a welcoming and empowering space for Contra Costa County Parent/Family Liaisons. This collaborative fosters positive relationships between families, schools, and communities while providing a platform for liaisons to share resources, insights, and expertise. It is a space for learning and mutual support, designed to strengthen connections and advance mental health communication between parents and schools.
Our primary goal is to establish a nurturing network for parent liaisons across Contra Costa County school districts. Your active participation in this collaborative meeting can provide immense value in several ways:
- Mutual Support and Learning: Exchange experiences, challenges, and success stories with fellow parent liaisons. This supportive environment encourages participants to learn from one another and apply innovative ideas throughout the school year.
- Practical Resource Sharing: Discover tools and strategies to enhance parent engagement and communication. These resources aim to empower school districts to address mental health challenges more effectively.
- Building Stronger Partnerships: Learn how to deepen relationships with community-based organizations. These collaborations can significantly expand the resources and support available for students and their families.
- Parent Education and Empowerment: Engage in discussions about upcoming events and initiatives designed to educate and empower parents, equipping them to play a proactive role in their children's mental well-being.
We believe that together, we can create a supportive network that uplifts families, strengthen school-community bonds, and fosters an environment where students thrive.
