Parent / Caregiver Focused Workshops

I’m passionate about connecting with parents / caregivers to share some of the resources and information I wish I’d had when my three children were younger. In today’s world, many of us feel tremendously isolated from the “village” which would make caregiving a whole lot easier and there is a lot of pressure to somehow know what the “right” things to do or say are. Many of us are so afraid of getting it wrong, making things worse, or are at our wits end to think of something new to try when so many things haven’t worked.

I use my education and experience to develop and facilitate presentations that are enjoyable, informative, relevant, and above all, useful.

Areas of focus include: attachment, emotion dysregulation (‘big’ behaviours, including self-harm, suicidal ideation, substance use), post-critical incident response, safety planning, suicide risk assessment, and maintaining positive relationships.

Additional topics for speaking engagements, in-services or workshops include:

• Self Harm

• Suicidal Ideation

• Suicide Risk Assessment / Safety Planning

• Critical Incident Debrief
