“Parents are the ultimate role models for children. Every word, movement, and action has an effect. No other person or outside force has a greater influence on a child than the parent.” – Bob Keeshan
Psychoeducation
Caregivers are provided with psychoeducation and skills to better equip them to respond and provide comfort to their children when they are overwhelmed by feelings of distress. Emotion identification, active listening, and slow breathing are taught and practiced.
Positive Parenting
The training focuses on positive parenting strategies including praise, and boosting their child’s confidence.
Self Care
Caregiver self‐care (e.g., sleep, nutrition, stress reduction strategies) is also covered. This training aims to enhance the caregiver’s capacity to cope with challenges related to the environment and parenting an adolescent experiencing significant distress.
