Rewiring Connection: The Science of Blocked Care

Rewiring Connection: The Science of Blocked Care is designed for parents, relatives, respite care providers, and child welfare professionals who are struggling with feelings of resentment, frustration, and a lack of compassion toward the children in their care. This training addresses what happens in our own nervous system when caring for a child with challenging, sometimes embarrassing, and even hurtful behaviors. When a child has experienced relational trauma, they may often reject the very connection they crave and need. Rewiring Connection takes a brain-based look at the emotional and psychological barriers that prevent caregivers from enjoying their children and provides strategies to overcome these challenges and continue working towards healthy attachment. The goal is to help caregivers understand the meaning behind their own feelings and actions, giving them greater capacity to cultivate a heart change toward their children, enabling deeper connection and affection.

Tuesday, October 14th from 11:30-1:00pm.
