Support Over Silence For KIDS Training

This free, in-person Support Over Silence for KIDS training at Lexington Public Library focuses on how to respond with empathy and without judgment when a caregiver or child is having a hard moment in a public setting. Led by PCAK staff, the session is built on a curriculum shaped by specialists in public health, parenting, injury prevention, pediatrics, child abuse prevention, psychology, marketing, program design, and evaluation. Attendees learn simple, practical approaches they can apply right away to offer supportive, constructive help in everyday situations.
