Enrichment Workshops
The Irvine Family Resource Center hosts enrichment workshops that are offered to IUSD students, parents, and caregivers. IUSD teenagers can participate in enrichment workshops which will introduce them to life skills such as stress management, coping skills, effective communication, goal setting, and positive relationships. IUSD parents and caregivers can attend enrichment workshops where they will learn positive discipline skills that are needed at home for building capable kids and healthy families.
For more information on upcoming enrichment workshops contact Christine Guerrero.

District Resources
Parent Videos and Resources. These short and engaging video Parent Pep Talks are designed to offer strategies and suggestions for some of the greatest challenges parents are currently facing. This series of videos begins with Adult Self-Care because we often take care of our children before we take care of ourselves. They are followed by videos that provide practical strategies for thriving through the ever-complex adolescent years.
