Parent Training

Service Description

An individualized training designed for parents of LGBTQ+ individuals as well as traumatized and problematic youth. This training will help caregivers better understand and support their children by addressing the root causes of behaviors that may seem new, spontaneous, or troublesome. In this program, parents will learn to interpret their child’s behavior as communication of needs, rather than simply as defiance or misbehavior. The training primarily focuses on shifting from an adult-centered approach to one that truly listens to and responds to the child’s needs. You will learn practical tools for creating a safe, nurturing environment, fostering emotional regulation, and developing healthy relationships. The program also offers strategies for managing difficult behaviors with empathy, improving communication, and building trust, ultimately helping children heal, grow, and thrive while recognizing the impact of trauma and other factors on their development.
