Elementary & Middle School Parents’ Gathering

Sunday, November 16
5-7 p.m. | C301

While the kids have movie nights and youth group, parents are invited to gather for dinner, fellowship, and a parenting workshop called “Raising Resilient Kids: Building Emotional Strength and Coping Skills” led by Laura Brimberry. We’ll order pizza and salad from Lily’s pizza for dinner ($10 per person). Registration is required.

Laura is joining us from Birch Therapy where she serves as the Parent Support Specialist. As a graduate of Rhodes College and after receiving Masters of Social Work from Virginia Commonwealth University, Laura continued her career to include helping parents and families for over 30 years. She has served as a facilitator for Circle of Security Parenting® groups with SAFEChild since 2019, organizing and teaching over 40 parenting groups in the Raleigh area.

As a mother of four children who grew up at WMPC, she has been through the ins and outs of raising four distinctly unique human beings, and yes, everyone survived.  Laura, and her husband Olin, can attest that you can too.  Laura knows all too well that parenting is the deepest joy and greatest challenge of the human experience, one that we need to discuss and support throughout our lives.
