“Building Stronger Bonds: Enhancing Parent-Child,” presented by Amy Groessl, LCSW, PhD

For children to succeed and learn over the long term, they rely on a positive, nurturing relationship with key adults in their lives. This session will address parent-child attunement, which is the ability to recognize, interpret, and respond to a child's needs in a sensitive and consistent manner and is essential for children who struggle with self-regulation as they attempt to process the world around them. Additionally, the session will address caregivers' own stress and emotional well-being, providing tools for self-regulation and resilience to support both the child and the caregiver in navigating these challenges together.

At the completion of this session, participants will be able to:
✔️Describe strategies to promote emotional attunement between parents and children.
✔️Utilize strategies to enhance communication and connection within the parent-child relationship.
✔️Practice mindfulness exercises to enhance present-moment awareness and responsiveness.

🗓️ March 18, 1:00 PM-2:30 PM PST

Pregnancy can be a time of hope – and also a time when stress, relationship conflict, or past trauma can intensify.

These issues are more common than many realize and can affect anyone, regardless of income, background, or where they live. But there is hope. Help is available, and no one has to navigate these challenges alone.
