 A. MICHAEL BLANCHE, MSW, LCSW, PREVENTION SPECIALIST
Wednesday, February 29 from 7-9 p.m. • West-Wike TheatreA. Michael Blanche is holding a special event for all 8th grade and Upper School parents and students. You and your daughters will work with Michael in a format known to have tremendous success. You will be divided into small groups of other parents and girls, not including your daughter, to learn what is going on and work on strategies for managing situations. Mr. Blanche is skilled at facilitating valuable discussion and is very sensitive to difficulties felt around this topic. We hope that this experience will be positive and productive for all who participate. We will be so much more effective in our efforts to help girls resist the pressures of drugs and alcohol if we work together as a community. Please RSVP via email to Kim Beamon, Director of Student Support Services, at kbeamon@agnesirwin.org Light refreshments will be served.
