We have the potential to grow and heal in relationships. We have spent much of the last year in isolation or in a different routine than we are used to.  If we have been juggling multiple roles we may need additional support.

• Life is a series of connections, disconnections, and reconnections. 
• Our beings are drawn to connection. 
• We are tribal people.
• So much of we do is about being seen, valued, accepted and/or loved or avoiding relying on others 
• Shame cannot live in the light when we share with trusted people.
• Our social engagement system which kicks in when our nervous system is regulated helps us to bond with others
• It is possible to develop "power with" others rather than "power over" relationships

Parenting Stress Group: Transitioning Back to School

Do you feel buried under stress and daily pressures balancing parenting and other life requirements?  Would guidance and support to face the challenges of your child returning to school in the fall help ease the burden?  It is normal to worry about your children and the struggles you and your family have faced over the past year.  We are offering a safe space to help you acquire skills to deal with life stressors while strengthening your relationship with your child.  Our 6 week program is focused on helping you develop skills to support your child to effectively engage in the world, in a manner that is empowered and future-oriented, rather than focused on mere survival.

Topics covered in series:

• mindfulness and grounding
• identifying triggers and increasing self care
• describing and understanding your mood
• routine and structure leading to feelings of safety
• self monitoring and awareness
• validation and reflection skills
• attunement and attachment
