Ever feel like you’re going to lose your mind?  We all have. 

In this workshop, we’ll tackle the challenge of raising adoptive children and children in foster care with adverse childhood experiences and difficult past histories. This is designed for those parenting children who have relationship difficulties, especially children who have experienced attachment problems, trauma, loss and/or separation early in life. The hope is that this program will be helpful for parents who are having parenting challenges and enable them to increase their emotional connection with their children. We will use the Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACES) questionnaire to discuss trauma, blocked care, blocked trust and how to build resiliency in both yourself and the children you care about. 

This workshop is the precursor of the six session Reframing Parenting workshop the Coalition also offers.
