Trying Differently Rather than Harder
July 9, 2022 from 9-11 am (Central Time)
VIRTUAL
Why do we parents keep using strategies with our children that aren't working? I did for way too long and once I shifted my approach, we had more peace and calm in our family. Through some funny stories, we will explore non-consequence-based approaches, and learn how to try differently, rather than harder, in order to bring more calm into our homes.

Just Keep Swimming: Thriving in the midst of Grief and Loss
September 10, 2022 from 9-11 (Central Time)
VIRTUAL
While there is beauty in loving and caring for children in an adoptive, foster or kinship family, there are also various levels of grief and loss. We feel emptiness when a child moves on to another placement or is reunified, sadness when we see how trauma experiences have impacted their lives, and grief when we realize our kids' developmental differences might not allow for typical development. It is important to figure out ways to work through grief and loss without getting stuck in the seaweed. We must learn to "just keep swimming."
