Tools for supporting conversations within families

Tools for supporting conversations within families

When it comes to communicating—whether as social workers, counsellors, mental health practitioners, educators, health workers or parents—some of the most challenging and life-altering conversations we face are the ones we have with families.

When there’s so much at stake and so many relationships involved, creating a safe space to connect is so important.

For over 30 years, Innovative Resources has been doing just that; creating card sets that support the important work all of YOU do with families
