SIUE Student Parent Group's Next Monthly Meeting Today |
|
| |
Monthly meetings have been designed to connect, develop support networks and build community for students who are parents.
The format of these meetings is designed to meet the interests and needs of group members and may range from stress management, study skills, career planning and family finances to parent education and child development.
Meetings are facilitated by representatives from Counseling Services. Some group meetings may feature speakers from the larger campus or metro community.
Participants must pre-register the Friday before each Monday meeting in order to plan for child care and food.
Children are welcome, but must be preregistered so we can have appropriate child care. A light dinner (pizza) will be provided.
Please note the following remaining meeting dates during the spring term:
• Today
• April 4
• May 1
4:30-6:30 p.m.
SIUE Early Childhood Center
What some student parents are saying about the group:
“I feel like I do better because I feel like I am not the only person with these stresses. I feel it makes my life a little bit better.”
“It is a place I can come where other people understand the stress and challenges that come with being a student parent.”
“I’ve gained confidence as a parent and have friends who are in similar situations.”
“It’s just a place you can relax and be with other people who can relate to you because they have to balance school and kids, too.”
