Families and Politics – IN-PERSON

11/12/2022 @ 10:00 am - 12:30 pm CST

Partner Org(s): AMES Library
State/Region: IA

Local Focus: Ames Iowa

Family relationships can be casualties of a toxic political environment. Preserve important family bonds while staying true to your values.

About this event

Family relationships can become casualties of a toxic political environment. Family members are having bitter political arguments, avoiding each other, or even cutting off lifetime relationships.

If you want to preserve important family bonds while still being true to your values and political beliefs, this in-person workshop will offer you:

  • Insight into why family differences over politics are uniquely challenging
  • Recognition of common roles that family members play in political conversations
  • Strategies and skills for handling family political differences in a constructive way

Although the focus is on family relationships, you can use learnings in this workshop with any loved one. You’ll laugh and have some fun in this workshop—it won’t be all serious. After all, we all come from quirky families.

** This event is open to the media upon approval. Media contact: Ciaran O’Connor, ciaran@braverangels.org
