Back to IN-PERSON Sessions in Ithaca!

The Coalition’s In-Person Reframing Parenting Workshops are Back!

Reframing Parenting is a training curriculum based on Foundations for Attachment Training Resource by Kim Golding, whose work is turn based on that of Dan Hughes.

This curriculum has been adopted and modified by the Adoptive and Foster Family Coalition of New York to help foster, adoptive and kinship parents nurture attachments with their child. It is designed specifically for those caring for children whose capacity to emotionally connect has been compromised as a result of attachment problems, trauma, and loss or separation.

This parent friendly workshop series is formed by attachment theory and Dyadic Developmental Psychotherapy (DDP) and consists of three core modules:

• Understanding Challenges of Parenting
• Therapeutic Parenting
• Looking After Self

Training Customized for New York Families

In adapting this curriculum, the Coalition has made it most relevant for parents working within New York’s child welfare system. The Coalition has also taken steps to ensure that the training can reach and speak to parents who feel they have tried everything and/or who are struggling to find a better way to connect with and effectively parent their child – and do so in a way that has lasting impact and that can be implemented on a day-in, day basis within a family. The training is structured to provide ample time for connection between participants with the ancillary goal of having peer support develop out of participation in the training.
