I have been involved with the Gramina School Council for five years, serving as chair for three years and vice-chair for two. Our council is active in seeking guest speakers on important topics. 

This year, our superintendent presented on student conduct and revealed alarming statistics about a rise in student behaviors across the province and our school district. As parents, we were left concerned and eager for solutions.

Having taken emotion regulation courses through SILA Skills, I realized the value of skills in managing behaviors. We invited SILA Skills to present to parents, and their impactful session was met with enthusiasm. Attendees felt that everyone should attend this workshop for guidance on parenting challenges. One session wasn’t enough, and we highly recommend SILA Skills to any school council, as our community is eager for more support in addressing these issues.
