Working Together: Families and Schools

August 18, 2026 6:30pm – 8:00pm

When our kids struggle with their mental health, challenges can often have a great impact on their school experience. As parents it can be really hard to know where to begin. How do we take the first step and let the school know what is going on for our family? What are the supportive options that are available to my child? We might even worry that we will be judged for the difficulties our child is facing.

Come together for a video presentation featuring Victoria Keddis, a parent with lived experience and Ashley Ragoonaden, Principal at École KLO Middle School. Together they will discuss how looking at challenges from a strength based perspective can help us collaborate.

Join us and other families for this video presentation and discussion that’s facilitated by a FamilySmart Family Peer Support Worker.

These events are funded for parents and caregivers living in the Province of British Columbia and for CASA families in Alberta. If you are from another province or territory, or live outside of Canada, we welcome you to visit the Familysmart video library and use those resources. Thank you.
