ʻOhana Talk Story Sessions

New Summer Sessions are coming up!

Stay tuned for MORE ʻohana support sessions over the summer. Shannon Flynn keeps it going via Zoom on Wednesdays at 1:30pm. Check your email for the link (email may be from Mary DeLapp).

Past Sessions (#1-6) are posted below…

Shannon Flynn, our NKK Behavioral Support Supervisor, hosts ʻOhana Talk Story Sessions weekly via Zoom (Wednesdays at 7:30am or Thursdays at 4:30pm). I think they send you folks the emails with the meeting link directly but in case you missed it, here are the sessions that she’s held so far; we’ll try to post the recordings here when they become available. We know you probably don’t have time to just sit and watch the whole thing from start to finish because your work as a parent never ends, but maybe set it to play on the counter while you’re cooking dinner so can listen to it while you work. We’re all in this together, and we’d like to support you in any way we can. ❤️
