Navigating the Educational System

Are you raising a grandchild or other family member as a result of the opioid epidemic? Join us for the second session of a five-week educational series* designed to address your most pressing issues and questions.

Clare Higgins, Program Supervisor for Family Mentor and Advocacy Network of Montgomery County, will discuss  how grandparents and other relatives can  engage as full partners with the school.  Learn tips for virtual and hybrid learning, see what is the same and what is different the second time around, hear how to get children evaluated for an IEP, and connect to supports, resources,  and services that can help you build a strong educational support team.

Additional upcoming session topics include:

February 2 – Benefits Planning and Government Services

February 9 – Understanding the Disease of Addiction

February 16 – Support Session and Resources

*You may pick and choose which sessions you attend; you do not need to attend them all.
