“The Balancing Act: Creating Healthy Connections Without Losing Yourself.”

In this powerful program, Tawwab will share practical strategies parents can use to:
• Communicate needs clearly and respectfully
• Set boundaries with children and teens
• Reduce family conflict
• Build relationships rooted in trust, balance, and emotional health
