From their website:
"G.E.A.R. provides an opportunity for parents to support each other and work together, family to family. We empower parents by helping them build on the identified strengths in their families and by providing safe and supportive avenues for emotional support and problem solving.
G.E.A.R. believes in a family-driven system of care that helps children, youth and families function better at home, in school, in the community and throughout life. We want you to know that you are not alone.
If you are a parent of a child with emotional/behavioral concerns, you are aware that there is much to learn and to manage on behalf of your child and your entire family. The G.E.A.R. Parent Network is here to help."

How can we start this new year happier? Things have certainly not been easy over the last year, and we are still in difficult and uncertain times. The best way to try to handle our difficult emotions and experiences is by focusing on what we can control. This month, we're encouraging everyone to focus on small steps to try to boost happiness - for ourselves and others around us - to spread kindness and hopefully inspire others to do the same.  (Source: Action for Happiness)

Interested in learning more about your mind and emotions?
The KidsHealth and TeensHealth websites have lots of topics to choose from to help you answer questions or to help you through tough times that you might be experiencing. 
Parents -- this is also a great place to learn how to explain complex topics with your children! 

.: DO GOOD DECEMBER :.

 2020 has been a difficult year in so many ways. We have suffered with uncertainty, anxiety, isolation and challenges with our financial situation, health or relationships. One thing that can hold us together and help us get through is kindness. Although we can't change our situation, we can choose to respond to others (and ourselves) with kindness. And when we're kind, everything goes better. We help others, we help ourselves and we encourage others to be kinder too. (Source: Action for Happiness)

.: NEW WAYS NOVEMBER :.

Covid is restricting our lives, but we can find new ways to keep making progress. 
Trying out new things can actually boost our well-being. When we open up to new ideas, it helps us stay curious and engaged. It can also bring a sense of accomplishment and help to boost our self-confidence and resilience. There are so many ways to learn new things and this month we're encouraging everyone to find new and creative ways to overcome our frustrating situations. (Source: Action for Happiness)
