Location: Mill Creek Gardens, 8839 Mill Creek Drive, Marshfield

Cost: $20

This event is an opportunity for people responsible for children and young adults in out-of-home care. If you are a parent, grandparent, guardian, social worker, or counselor who could use space to be refreshed and supported alongside others doing the same work, we invite you to join us for an evening of self-care.

The evening will include:
Planting activity with nurturing affirmations
Caregiver Connection Group Activity
Time to de-stress and socialize
Refreshing snacks + beverages
Giveaways

Olivia Batien, licensed clinical social worker with Children’s Wisconsin, will join us to facilitate the evening. Olivia creates a welcoming, approachable environment where her clients feel supported and empowered. She has experience working with children and families of all ages, backgrounds, and abilities. She is LGBTQ+ affirming and is experienced in trauma-informed care for children and families, youth in out-of-home-care, anxiety and depression, emotional and behavioral challenges, and adoption and family transitions.

We’ll have a chance to get our hands in the soil and plant something to take home as a reminder to nurture ourselves. Watercolor paints, puzzles, and playing cards will be available to help you enjoy an evening without responsibilities.

Light, healthy refreshments and beverages will be provided as well as a few prizes to win from community businesses.

If the cost is prohibitive, please send us a message and we will provide a scholarship for you.

This event is sponsored in part by Everyday Counseling, Marshfield, a private practice owned by Liz Cravillion, LPC-IT. Stay tuned for additional sponsors.
