We partnered with parents to support their wellbeing.

Building deep, trusting relationships with and among parents is at the heart of our parent wellness coaching work. Because of those relationships, we continued to see very high attendance rates at our monthly Parent Circles and positive feedback about our coaching team, all of which contribute to greater parent resilience in the face of challenges. 

Of course, this year presented a challenge that no one was prepared for. Our relationships with families and strong connections with community partners helped us move quickly to address student and family needs. Our team of parent wellness coaches called parents every week to check in and help families connect to concrete resources. And in the face of very real challenges, parents tapped into their own resilience and power to support themselves, their families, and each other.
