Event Details

“Build Piñatas to Break Barriers” is a family workshop promoting creativity, connection, and community during National Child Abuse Prevention Month. Families work together to repurpose recycled materials into colorful piñatas while learning simple ways to strengthen relationships through communication and shared activities. The program encourages positive family interaction, cooperative problem‑solving, and hands-on engagement suitable for all ages. Participants will leave with a completed craft, increased awareness of protective factors, and practical ideas for fostering strong, nurturing family bonds.
