We are happy to announce the next 3 sessions in LEARN Quebec's Parenting in the Pandemic online series.
My teenager is worried; How can I provide support?
Dec 1, 7pm to 8pm
Register: https://learnquebec.ca/teensupport
Presented by Dr. Zmira King & Dr. Gerry Weintraub from the Centre of Excellence for Mental Health
It is not uncommon for teenagers to worry when confronted with new situations or when faced with challenges. This webinar will clarify the difference between feeling worried and anxious versus having an anxiety disorder. We will focus on practical strategies and provide tips for parents on how to support their children in developing coping skills to better manage their anxiety.
Presented in partnership with: Centre of Excellence for Mental Health (CEMH) & Family School Support and Treatment Team (FSSTT)
Helping Our Teens Stand Tall During the Pandemic
Dec 9, 7pm - 8:30pm
Register: https://learnquebec.ca/pandemicteens
Speaker: Karen Delage, Family Life Educator
At one time or another, you have likely been told to just “be yourself”. But what happens when we’re not sure what that even means? Now, more than ever, teens need their parent’s support and involvement to help them solidify who they are and where they stand. This webinar will offer strategies and tools to help support parents in this invaluable role.
Presented in partnership with: Quebec Federation of Home and School Associations (QFHSA)

The session, on either Wednesday, October 14th or Thursday, October 15th, will offer parents a chance to explore topics such as: how to help your child access their email account, how to use the TEAMS platform to attend virtual classes, and how to facilitate communication between home and school.
You can register by completing this FORM.
Please take some time before the meeting to read the, 'How-To' Guide for parents (CLICK HERE). During the session, take note of your questions and a form will be sent to your email for you to submit these questions. An FAQ will then be generated based on these questions.
The deadline to register for your choice of sessions is Tuesday, October 13th. A TEAMS link will be sent to you the day of the meeting.
We look forward to working with you,

An Important Message About Government Loans & Bursaries
Hello Class of 2020!
The Quebec Government Loans and Bursaries Program for 2020-21 is now open. Students who are pursuing post-secondary studies can apply on-line for financial assistance at:
http://www.afe.gouv.qc.ca/en/news/all-news/detail/you-can-fill-out-your-2020-2021-application-for-student-financial-assistance-online-as-of-today/
Although there is much uncertainty ahead, you are encouraged to apply for financial assistance as if you were attending classes "in person" in the fall, understanding of course, that your application and any financial support can be modified by the government based on future realities.
I recommend that you begin by reviewing the eligibility criteria at:
https://www.quebec.ca/en/education/student-financial-assistance/loans-bursaries-full-time-studies/eligibility-requirements/
Then, move on to the Assessment Simulator, where you can get an "unofficial" estimate of your government financial support.
https://www.quebec.ca/en/education/student-financial-assistance/loans-bursaries-full-time-studies/assessment/assessment-simulator/
Finally, a downloadable application guide is available at:
http://www.afe.gouv.qc.ca/fileadmin/AFE/documents/Publications/AFE/PUBL_Aide_votre_portee_2020_2021_A.pdf
