SUMMARY:Webinar: How to Support a Child with Mental Illness
DESCRIPTION:How to support a child with a mental illness is a question that many have asked. This training will give parents a better understanding and tools on how to support a child that is dealing with mental health issues.  Did you know that dealing with mental illness is more common than many would like to accept or discuss?  Over 80% of children in foster care have significant mental health issues compared to approximately 18-22% of the general population.  First\, it’s important to understand the difference between mental health and mental illness and how trauma can negatively impact both.  This training will teach parents how to take a trauma informed approach when parenting a child with mental illness. \n\nThe parent will learn the difference between mental health and mental illness\nThe parent will learn how trauma impact a child’s DNA\, their decision making and how they create maladaptive coping skills to survive\nParents will learn how to become a trauma responsive parent so that they can better support and encourage their child.\n\nPresented by: Dr. Natasha LaMarr\, Ed.D\, LPC\, NCC

SUMMARY:Virtual Regional Training: Self-Care Strategies for Resilience
DESCRIPTION:In this presentation\, we will learn a variety of ways to use mindfulness to practice better self-care and build resiliency. In the process\, we will discover how this effort can increase our capacity to be more fully present – with ourselves\, with our children\, and with others in our lives. Through a combination of instructional material\, discussion\, and simple mindfulness exercises\, participants will be offered some practical tools and skills they can start using right away.  Self-care is the fuel we need to supply energy to navigate effectively through our lives and build resiliency to prevent burn-out in our relationships. \nPresented by: \nAngela Smith.
