Workshops for Parents & Children in New York City

Evidence-based, culturally grounded workshops for families across NYC — empowering parents with practical tools and giving children the emotional skills they need to thrive.

👨‍👩‍👧 Parents & Kids 🌍 Culturally Affirming 📍 In-Person NYC & Virtual NY State 🏫 Schools & Organizations

At Peace of Mind Mental Health Counseling Services PC we believe that when families are equipped with the right tools — both parents and children — entire communities are strengthened. That's why we offer two distinct but complementary workshop programs: one designed specifically for parents and caregivers, and one designed for children and teens.

Together they create a complete family wellness experience — parents learning how to show up more powerfully, and children learning how to navigate their inner world with confidence and resilience.

"When parents are empowered and children are equipped — families flourish. And when families flourish, communities do too."
