Navigate Parenting Challenges with Confidence
A Trauma-Informed Training for Providers
You own a practice or manage a team of professionals who help parents and caregivers feeling frustrated, overwhelmed, or hopeless about their children's behaviors.
Whether you are a pediatrician, psychologist, social worker or practitioner who supports parents, you may feel that you’ve mastered the theoretical, but lack practical strategies to share with parents as they ask you how to navigate very specific challenges.
Or perhaps you begin to doubt yourself or feel frustrated when client progress is slow, or when strategies don’t work as expected and the parents you serve aren’t experiencing the transformation in their relationships with their children that they, and you, were hoping for.
And if you’re anything like the many providers I’ve worked with, you sometimes feel like an imposter as you work to support other parents while you’re struggling with parental burnout and challenges in your own family. Or you wonder how you can possibly help others when you don’t have your own kids and haven’t experienced these challenges yourself.
These scenarios are all very common, and they are all solvable!
The truth is you were probably trained in understanding why problematic behaviors happen, but left to figure out how to handle the difficult ones that hurt and overwhelm families.
If you are ready to empower your practitioners (or yourself) with a toolbox of strategies to answer those “But how?” questions, and infuse your team with the confidence to empower clients in turn, you’re going to love our training!
Parents mean well and are doing their best, but their work is often invisible,
and they struggle to find the support they need and deserve.
LET’S CHANGE THAT!
In this 8-week training, participants will engage in hands-on exercises, role-play scenarios, and group discussions as they learn new strategies to support the parents they serve, as well as practical tools to teach parents to use to create the change they’ve been longing for in their families.
By the end of this training, participants will be able to:
✔️ Bridge the gap between parenting theory and practice by transforming abstract concepts into clear, actionable steps that parents can confidently apply.
✔️ Apply proven strategies to prevent burnout while caring compassionately for others.
✔️ Cultivate a more connected and cohesive team and build relationships with like-minded professionals who share your passion for helping families.
✔️ Hone your listening skills to let go of fixing and instead empower parents to trust their own intelligence and lead their families with confidence.
✔️ Equip parents with practical tools and respond to their questions with clarity and confidence.
✔️ Guide parents to resolve conflicts by leveraging the body’s healing response and deepening connection.
✔️ Empower parents to defuse tension in difficult moments through the strategic use of humor.
✔️ Coach parents to transform boundaries from control mechanisms into value-aligned tools that deepen connection.
✔️ Teach parents to recognize their triggers and transform their emotional reactions into clear, strategic responses.
✔️ Show parents how to model emotional accountability by owning their mistakes and prioritizing impact over intent.
Practice Owner
Parents need and deserve more support, and therapists have the potential to be part of a cultural shift toward connection-based parenting. However, without fluency in answering the "then what?" questions parents ask when moving away from traditional discipline, we may unintentionally hold that shift back.
To truly support families, practitioners need more than just the high-level concept of connection—they need a solid foundation in how to implement it effectively. When therapists gain this fluency, they feel more confident, competent, and at peace in guiding parents through the shift.
Our practice has seen firsthand how this knowledge strengthens teams, deepens impact, and positions us as leaders in the movement toward a more peaceful approach to parenting.
