Workshops & Support Groups
Our workshops provide all our community members with an opportunity to learn. Sharing useful information on vulnerable topics initiates conversation.
Conversations make a difference. We offer a vast amount of workshops covering topics like: NARCAN, QPR, Mental Health First Aid, Vaping 101, and Substance Abuse Information.
EYS hopes that adults maintain the same amount of peer support that we know to be essential for our children. This is why we have created parent support groups that encourage open communication among caregivers.
Healthy Relationships Presentation
Thursday, February 13
5:30-7:00pm
Hall Memorial Library
(Upstairs Meeting Room & Children's Program Room)
FEBRUARY IS TEEN DATING VIOLENCE AWARENESS MONTH!
EYS will be hosting a free Healthy Relationships Presentation by Jessica and Maggie from Interval House. Parents and their youth, ages 12 and up, may choose to attend. There will be a separate presentation for both parents and their youth, which leave families with discussions to have at the conclusion of the presentation. Interval House will discuss many factors for teens and parents to take into consideration with the numerous options society has to effectively communicate with each other and what to do if negative communication occurs.
We always love to hear feedback or any support group ideas that would be of interest in the community!
Please reach out to our Prevention Coordinator, Marque Mercure — mmercure@ellington-ct.gov with any ideas on how we can best support Ellington parents.
