SUMMARY:The Family Room with Sue Badeau
DESCRIPTION:National Federation of Families \nA Family Room is often defined as an “informal gathering place for all members of a family” or “a comfortable space.” \nThe “Family Room” is that space: parents\, caregivers\, and family members actively engage in an interactive discussion with one another\, ask questions\, and also share their solutions in an informal setting. \nNFSTAC’s Family Room is back May 16th from 4p EDT – 5p EDT. Your host for the series is Sue Badeau\, an author\, trainer\, speaker\, and family peer expert with lived experience as the parent of 22 children. \nOur May conversation starter was suggested by last month’s attendees\, so Sue will get us started on how to develop the skills or voice to ask for support or help – whether it’s you or your family member. From there\, the rest of the discussion is up to everyone in the meeting. We invite you to turn on your cameras and be part of the discussion to maximize engagement. Registration is limited to ensure a more personalized experience. \nRegister here>>
