NEW! Alphabet Soup
Does your child suffer from excessive fears and worries, phobias, separation anxiety, panic attacks, frequent stomachaches, nightmares, even refusing to go to school? Do you want to help your child but don't know how? PCOS is hosting a support group for parents dealing with these special issues. Plan to attend our very first meeting, Thursday, January 19, 6-8pm. We will have a guest speaker, Randy Flloyd, LSC SW. He will discuss practical techniques on how parents can help their child manage and overcome anxiety with compassion rather than avoidance, accomodations, and constant reassurance.
We ask that all Students complete a REGISTRATION FORM activities that they participate in at PCOS. If Adults are going to be traveling with a group from PCOS to an event, they will need to complete a PARENT/GAURDIAN CONSENT FORM. Both forms are online and can be dropped at the church office, Welcome Center or faxed to 913-681-8186. Consent forms cannot be faxed due to notary signature. A notary is in the church office M-F, 9am-4pm, please call to verify on the day you plan to drop in.
