The Mirrors programme will host Impact Workshops for parents and youth workers who want a renewed appreciation of self and what it means to be a parent, and new ideas on working effectively with young people.

“Like everything else that we do in life, raising children is no easy task,” said Kim Jackson, the Mirrors programme co-ordinator. “Regardless, if the decision is large or small, every one we make is important to a young person’s development. The Impact workshop is about the adult’s personal development and how their actions impact children.

“We want to empower and build confidence in parents and their ability to improve in their interaction with their children or young people they mentor.”

The Impact Workshop is an interactive 2½-day programme. During the workshops, participants will explore thought-provoking questions and concepts designed to help them to develop a clearer outlook of what they can accomplish and how to make more powerful choices.

The workshop is free and will be held at the Police Recreation Club from February 27 to March 1. The workshop hours are 6pm to 9pm on the first day, and 9am to 6pm on the subsequent days.
