Communicating Effectively with Parents and Caregivers: Strategies for Youth Program Providers
ACA/NRPA Webinar — Thursday, March 4, 2010
Strategies for Youth Program Providers

From helicopter parents (who pay extremely close attention to their child's experiences or problems) to disengaged parents, youth program providers often identify "parent communication" as a key stressor. This webinar provides specific strategies for communicating effectively with today’s parents in ways that build rapport rather that opposition.
