Advocating for Your Kids in the School System
Today we’re tackling a topic that hits close to home for so many of us: how to advocate for your child within the school system, especially when it feels like you’re speaking a different language than your child’s teacher, principal, or district.
Our guest today is Alina Lewis, a parent advocacy specialist who helps families find their voice and get the support their children need in school. Alina is a powerhouse in this space, helping parents navigate school bureaucracy, and the all-too-often frustrating maze of public education.
From mental health and managing relationships to raising changemakers and advocating for support, freemom is a podcast dedicated to ensuring that every mom feels heard.
