Parent Support

When schools, families, and community groups work together to support learning, children tend to do better in school, stay in school longer, and like school more. Parent workshops at Averroes are geared towards supporting and guiding parents on issues that teens struggle with within today's society: social media, drugs, lack of motivation, relationships with the opposite gender, homosexuality, peer pressure, bullying, mental health issues that can even lead to suicidal thoughts/suicide. All workshops are hands-on, and the first sessions are geared toward parents. Subsequent follow-up workshops are conducted with the parents and teens.
