YFS Parent Support Sessions

YFS staff understand that parents are facing their own set of challenges coping with remote learning, isolation, family stress, financial insecurity, grief/loss and more.

To support Island parents, YFS school counselors will begin virtual drop-in, no charge weekly parent support meetings at each of the four elementary schools and one for parents of middle or high school parents.

Parents can share challenges, learn about resources, and hear coping strategies.

Look for an announcement from your school counselor(s) with dates and instructions for accessing these meetings on Zoom.

Questions can be directed to your YFS School Counselor or Derek Franklin, MIYFS Clinical Programs Manager derek.franklin@mercerisland.gov.
