Nobody handed us a manual when we became parents. No instructions for the mood swings, the silence, the friends you've never met, the nights you stayed up wondering if you were doing enough.
But there are tools. There are people who want to help. And there is a conversation that's long overdue.
Kids Don't Come With a Manual is a free parent and guardian education session hosted right here in Milwaukee. We're talking about the real stuff — warning signs, hard conversations, what puts kids at risk and what keeps them protected, and where to go for help when something feels off.
No judgment. No lectures. Just real talk for parents who are in it and want to stay ahead of it.
Wednesday, April 23
5:30 – 7:00 PM
