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

This 90-minute online workshop is designed to build skills in using tools that spark supportive, inclusive and transformative conversations with families.

The format is collaborative and conversation-based, enabling participants to ask questions, learn from peers, and develop their understanding and confidence in using the resources.
