In this informative and relational conversation, we will be learning new ways of thinking and new tools in order to empower your child to succeed in school, at home, and with friends. We will learn some of the best tools to foster and teach regulation as well as how to foster a deeper connection with your child. Following the presentation, we will have time for Q&A

This event will be hosted at our Grace Campus. Parking is in the old Drew’s parking lot.

Presenter is Adam Cowan, LPC of Wellspring Counseling. Please see his bio below:

Background

I was born and raised in Albuquerque, NM. As is common among teenage males, I struggled to be motivated or engaged in High School academics. I longed for adventure and to spend time away from what I considered tedious and impractical. For these reasons, I joined the Marine Corps out of High School. During my time in the service, I was deployed twice to Iraq and once to Afghanistan. Following my service, I returned to school and spent 9 years working in churches as a youth and young adult pastor. In conjunction with beginning graduate training as a therapist, I worked as an investigative case worker for Child Protective Services.
