SUMMARY:Can She Handle The Truth? Talking to My Child About Her Story
DESCRIPTION:Many times kids from a hard place have hard questions about their story. It is crucial that we are able to help them process their story. \nAs parents of children with trauma\, we might find it hard to talk to our children about their difficult story. We might find ourselves wondering if we will retraumatize them or hurt them by talking about it. The truth is\, many times\, they are already thinking about their story and we must create a safe space to allow them to process it. In this session\, we will learn tips for telling our children the truth about their history.  The trainer and facilitator has been there and understands how difficult it could be to parent a child who has experienced trauma.  \nFoster parents will receive a certificate of attendance for continuing education credits.  \nYou will receive the link to join after registering by clicking the link below.

SUMMARY:Connecting with My Child: Trauma's Impact on Attachment
DESCRIPTION:Trauma experienced in early childhood can impact a child’s relational patterns. \nConnection is the primary source of healing for children from a hard place. Many times a child’s history has taught them to protect themselves from connection. In this session\, we will review how attachment style is formed in early childhood and practical strategies to foster connection and attachment with a child\, no matter their history.  \nOur parent coaching sessions are online trainings with a small number of participants. This is a great time to bring your specific questions as our parent trainer will be able to give more one-on-one answers due to the small number of participants in the group.  \nFoster parents will receive a certificate of attendance for continuing education credits.  \nThis is an online training. You will receive the link to join after registering for the event on the link below.

SUMMARY:It's Not His Fault: Understanding My Child's Relationship Patterns
DESCRIPTION:Trauma experienced in early childhood\, impacts a child’s relationships\, even later in life. \nAs parents of children with trauma\, we might not always understand why it might be difficult for our child to form healthy relationships . We might find ourselves wondering if they will be able to attach to us\, be good friends or get along with thier siblings. In this session we will take a closer look at how our child’s history influences thier attachment patters and in turn their relationship with us and others. We will also find the hope in applying connection strategies to help our child heal and grow.  \nOur parent support sessions are online trainings with a small number of participants and a facilitator that has been there and understands how difficult it could be to parent a child who has experienced trauma. This is a great time to bring your specific questions as our parent trainer will be able to give more one on one answers due to the small number of participants in the group.  \nFoster parents will receive a certificate of attendance for continuing education credits.  \nThis is an online training.
