SEMINAR FOR PARENTS ON TALKING TO KIDS ABOUT DIFFICULT SUBJECTS (7-8:30PM, ZOOM)
The Bradley Hills PTA is partnering with Triple P – Positive Parenting Program to offer a seminar featuring evidence-based strategies to help parents talk with their children about difficult and distressing topics. The incidents at BHES over the last few weeks can be frightening for both children and adults, often leaving families feeling overwhelmed and unsure of how to respond.
Triple P has over 40 years of global research behind it and is a trauma-informed model that equips parents with practical, proven strategies to support their children.
This seminar is designed to provide parents with concrete tools and clear guidance for answering children’s tough questions, understanding their reactions, and helping them cope with distress.
We will also discuss how it is common for children to experience social, emotional, and behavioral challenges following exposure to traumatic events, whether directly or indirectly, through conversations, media coverage, or peers—and how parents can best support their children through these experiences.
Our presenters are Dr. Sara van Driel, a Clinical-Community Psychologist, who has been helping to build communities that support children and families for over 20 years and Courtney Towne, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, who has been working in the child and family serving field for over 25 years beginning as a child and family therapist.
Please join us tomorrow, Tuesday, April 14, from 7pm-8:30pm, zoom log in details below.
