Giving and Receiving Healing

Foster parents and other caregivers give from the bottom of their hearts. Often this isn't enough. Complex trauma changes the child’s brain and nervous system (and thus all development). These kids don't respond well to typical parenting. Here's what you'll learn: 

  • Why is Complex Trauma Important?
  • Module 1: What Are Our Children Carrying?
  • Module 2: Body and Stress
  • Module 3: Managing Emotions and Stress
  • Module 4: Attachment and Relationships
  • Module 5: Identity Development
  • Module 6: Reframing Challenging Behaviours
  • Module 7: Caregiver Wellness
