  Struggling with sleep in your household? Looking for practical tips to help your child — and your entire family — get a better night’s rest? Join Bridget Bowling, certified Family Sleep Institute Pediatric Sleep Consultant from Little Snoozers, who will discuss bedtimes, nap times, sleep transitions, as well as what sleep should look like from birth to school age. A Behavior Specialist from Silver Lining ABA will also be there to help answer questions and offer tools to support children with autism. Learn about the importance of a calming routine, a peaceful bedroom environment and other tools for helping your child achieve healthy sleep.

  This program will also discuss the unique sleep challenges faced by children with disabilities, with discussion groups for families navigating these experiences. You'll leave with practical strategies to make restful nights a reality for your household.

  This program is for adults only and is presented in partnership with Rocky River Public Library.

  Do you ever feel like your caregiving journey is hard to explain, even to yourself? Do you wish you had a way to make sense of the ups and downs by telling your story?

  Join Alicia Smith-Tran, PhD, sociologist, writer and professor at Oberlin College, for a powerful workshop on storytelling and narrative writing for caregivers. Learn how putting your experiences into words can help release bottled-up emotions, uncover meaning in your daily challenges and remind you that you’re not alone.

  Through simple prompts and guided discussion, you’ll learn how to explore your personal story, how it fits within a larger societal framework and walk away feeling empowered to write about your own challenges and triumphs. No writing experience is needed — just come with an open mind and a willingness to reflect.

  This program is for adults only and is presented in partnership with Heights Libraries. Childcare is available for this event for children ages 1-12, but registration is required.
