“Is There A Spiritual Side to Parenting?" with Shelley Karpaty, Certified Mindfulness Guide​
Do you consider yourself spiritual? If not, do you think it might help you be a “better parent?” Or like some of us with–children/teens/young adults with mental health and other issues–do you feel you just don’t have the time or knowledge to be so? Join Family Sanity Founder Lisa Scimens in conversation with Shelley Karpaty, Parent, Mentor, and Certified Mindfulness Guide who will help us develop our spiritual sides of parenting.
“The In's and Out's of IEP's" with Dr. Rebecca Hawley, Special Ed Law Advocate
Is it ever too late to get an IEP? How do I get a neuropsych evaluation? What if I can't pay for it? How do I get my school district to pay for a special school, a therapeutic program, or an RTC? Does my child’s IEP continue when they go to college? What are my rights as a parent? Join Family Sanity Founder Lisa Scimens in conversation with Dr. Rebecca Hawley, Special Ed Law Advocate & Child Development Specialist.
