“Working with more than 10,000 individuals a year, our team has a unique lens into the complicated problems facing Kansas Citians. This series is an opportunity for the public to learn more about the critical social issues we’re collectively tackling,” said Don Goldman, Executive Director and CEO of JFS. “It’s also an opportunity to have a dialog with us about the evolving challenges due to the pandemic.”
JFS is excited to partner with both the Kansas City Public Library and PJ Library to present Caring Through Play, a Parenting Skills Workshop. Kerry Scott, JFS Clinical Therapist, will teach attendees about Parent-Child Interaction Therapy (PCIT). PCIT is a skill-based perspective that allows parents to enter a child’s world to explore ways to connect.
This program is designed for adult education and children ages three and under are welcome. Childcare will not be provided. For more information, please email Jodi Perelmuter, JFS’s Family Life Educator at jperelmuter@jfskc.org.
