Talking to Kids about Difficult (and Scary) Things

Sometimes the struggle is knowing that many of these things are out of our control and defy explanation. This workshop will offer age specific information and strategies to help discuss difficult topics, especially in this digital age.

Helping Kids Through Trauma

Childhood exposure to stress and trauma can have lasting effects on the body and brain. Research suggests that these may only be risk factors and the negative effects of these adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) may be buffered by positive and protective experiences. Participants will learn about how our stress response system works when we experience traumatic events and ways to build resilience in our youth.
