Parenting a child from a hard place is challenging. Many parents find themselves frustrated and wondering, "but I adopted my child as a baby! They don't remember or didn't experience any significant trauma!" This course provides insight to parents and caregivers how traumatic experiences impact the brain from in-utero to age three. It explores the impacts that body memories have on present-day behavior and ways to help the brain heal from a developmental and neuroscience perspective.

In this workshop, we will explore how to choose a child and family therapist. When we are parenting a child with high needs, who has experienced attachment trauma, ruptured relationships, or toxic stress, choosing a therapist with the right framework is imperative. If you are reading this, you have likely asked the question, “HOW do I best choose a therapist for my child/family, WHO am I looking for, and WHAT are the qualities, phrases, credentials, and lived experience I should be asking about?” We will dismantle the jargon attached to clinical language and therapist descriptions, discuss modalities, and discuss practical directories and searches to best choose a therapist for your child and your family to begin to heal. If you want to feel empowered and knowledgeable when choosing providers, this is the webinar for you! (May 2021)

In this webinar, Lauren Fishbein explains how to help children identify their emotions. As humans, we primarily learn through observation; this means it is essential that our parents and caregivers learn how to model their own emotions. There are specific tools when it comes to modeling behavior, especially when we are navigating intense emotions (such as anger). Sometimes, naming emotions can cause even more stress and dysregulation, and we will explore another way to work with these challenging moments. (October 2022)
