Please join MCGT in a specially designed webinar with Ned Johnson as he provides guidance on how to talk about hard topics and feelings with the children in your lives. As we have navigated the past several months in Minnesota, the atypical events in our state have created stress that has permeated our families, classrooms, and communities. Learn strategies on talking about stressful events as they are occurring as well as during recovery time. Ned is kindly donating his time for this webinar as a way of supporting MCGT and Minnesota. We are so grateful for his generosity. Please consider supporting MCGT by becoming a member.
