You are Invited to CSFPA's March "JIT" Workshop:

Fostering Resiliency: What Trauma Can Teach Us About Building Children's Emotional Strength

Thursday, March 17th, 2021

6PM - 7:30PM

(Registration deadline is Noon, March 16th)

Presented by

Kyle Bixenmann


Join us for CSFPA's March "JIT" educational workshop specifically for foster parents entitled: 

Workshop Overview:   In these difficult times, stress management and tolerance are more important than ever.  In this training, we will look at how understanding trauma and it's negative impact can help parents foster resilience in children.  Using a neurobiological lens, we will explore how the brain responds to stress and adversity to better understand how we can create environments where children can learn to effectively manage stress and build tolerance.  As parents, we will also explore how the stress of the last year has impacted our lives and discuss how we can establish resilience in ourselves so that we can continue to support our children moving forward.

      Due to the popularity of our previous workshops, we are limiting this workshop to resource parents only: foster, kinship, adoptive parents. If you are a caseworker, you will be moved to wait list and if there is space we will add you to the registration.
