Therapeutic Parenting is recommended for, and recognises the unique challenges and vulnerabilities of, children who have experienced early trauma, family challenges and/or where traditional parenting ideas and strategies have not been the right fit; BUT, we all know it’s not a magic wand; so what does it look like in reality… At Beacon House, therapeutic parenting focuses on regulation and relationship – therapeutically thinking about both the parents’ and children’s minds, ‘hearts’ and brains. Throughout the day we will explore the practicalities and challenges of therapeutic parenting in daily life. There will also be space for reflection through conversations to embed these ideas into your personal lived experience.
10am - 2pm
This course is for any parent or carer who is involved with caring for a traumatised child. No previous knowledge or experience is necessary. Lunch and refreshments will be provided, please notify us of any allergies.
