The Wilder School

The Family Place is excited to share about two upcoming support groups that will be offered beginning at the end of January!

Caring for Kids with Trauma will begin on 1/23/25. It will be held on the 2nd and 4th Thursdays of each month, from 9-10 am (coffee/breakfast available beginning at 8:45)

Grandparents Raising Grandkids will begin on 2/6/25. It will be held on the 1st and 3rd Thursdays of each month, from 9-10 am (coffee/breakfast available beginning at 8:45)

These groups, co-facilitated by Molly Bowen, MFT, and Erin Swasey, LICSW, will provide an opportunity for caregivers to connect, while receiving support, education, and resources related to their unique needs.

Each group session will offer coffee and breakfast items for attendees. Financial assistance for transportation (gas cards) will be available on an as-needed basis.

Please feel free to share the attached flyers and registration form with clients you think might be interested. Completed forms and/or questions can be sent to therapyservices@the-family-place.org

The Wilder School (TWS) does not believe in Groundhog Day but rather 'Hedgehog Day.' The latter being focused on the school pet/mascot and the former simply being focused on a woodchuck, of sorts, whose inaccuracy is widely and historically recorded 😊 . Winnie the hedgehog (owner is Roisin Viens) let the TWS students and staff know that there is still 6 more weeks of Winter. Ugh.

As required by law, The Wilder School has had all the water taps in the building tested for lead. All taps were below 4 parts per billion and no action is required at this time other than to let you know that the tests were completed and the results public at LeadResults.vermont.gov.. The required notification letter can be found HERE.
