PARENT MATTERS
Many times parents ignore their own needs to cater to their children. While we appreciate their hard work, we know that parenting is done best when parents are their best. Our workshops encourage them to focus on their Self Care and give them tips on Positive Parenting.

Self Care for The Selfless Parent
When people become parents they usually tend to ignore their own mental health to focus on the needs of their children. GEM, Inc. understands that you cannot pour from an empty cup. This workshop provides parents with mental health resources, helps parents manage stress, and recognize signs of depression. We show parents that positive thinking can increase your mental health tremendously and one really exciting part of this workshop is showing parents how to meditate and giving them an opportunity to do so in the space.
Who Do You Love?
We all, as early as pre-school age, have to interact with people and maintain relationships. While GEMTalk’s “Who Do You Love” workshop focuses on girls and their Platonic Relationships, the parent’s version focuses on how our own healthy and unhealthy relationships affect our children. We talk about how our children need positive role models and how that modeling begins in the home.
