Counselors to teach parents coping skills Monday night

Counselors from all four Boulder City schools will present the seminar “Advocating for Success in School and Beyond” from 6:30-7:30 p.m. Monday in the lecture hall at Boulder City High School, 1101 Fifth St.

A speaker from Clark Country School District will present information concerning coping skills and suicide prevention for parents and guardians with children who have been bullied, had difficulty dealing with changes or experienced anxiety or worry that might have led the child to resist going to school. The presentation is aimed at parents and guardians only; students should not attend.

For more information, call the school counselors at Boulder City High School, Garrett Junior High School or King or Mitchell elementary schools.
