MRUSD Dr. Joelle van Lent Family Presentation - March 16, 2021 6:00 p.m.

There is hope on the horizon and yet we remain very much in the midst of coping with the stress of the pandemic.  Join us for a conversation with Dr. Joelle van Lent focused on the well-being of our children and ourselves as we continue to navigate this unique school year.  Joelle will offer insights and strategies related to coping with ambiguous loss, rebalancing routines, and self-compassion.

The Maple Run Unified School District will be holding another Dr. Joelle van Lent family presentation. This will be March 16, 2021 at 6:00pm. Please use this link to request an invitation.
