Tuesday Evening Workshops 6pm to 9pm

Attachment Parenting

Most children in foster care have experienced disruptions in attachment formation due to child abuse, neglect and/or multiple placements. Traditional parenting, which relies upon a strong attachment, doesn’t work well with them. Come get an understanding of the way they see life and how you can alter your parenting techniques to accommodate their unique life experiences and current needs. This class series is appropriate for caregivers, foster parents, parents, teachers, therapists, social workers, and childcare providers. Lisa will focus instruction on how to apply this model to your specific needs/situation. Problem solving for participants attending the workshops will be a priority in any class session.
