SUMMARY:Webinar: Power of Positivity
DESCRIPTION:Positivity is a CHOICE! Being positive can save a person’s life while being negative and pessimistic can jeopardize a person’s life.  Positive thinking and choosing to be positive opens up the brain and create a space for safety and creativity.  There are several studies that show personality traits such as optimism and pessimism can affect many areas of our brain\, health and wellbeing.  Positive thinking reduces stress and decreases/eliminate negative self-talk.  However\, negative stress can create digestive and cardiovascular disease. This training will teach parents how to choose positivity because children learn from what they see not from what a parent say! \n1.     The parent will learn the power of positivity \n2.     The parent will learn how to be resilient in the face of adversity \n3.     Parents will learn how to increase their positivity. \nPresented by: \nDr. Natasha LaMarr\, Ed.D\, LPC\, NCC \n  \nAll Participants should RSVP separately through their own accounts and return to their accounts to complete the post test and get their certificates.

SUMMARY:Real Talk on Life Books
DESCRIPTION:GACRS is offering a Monthly Virtual Adoption Support Group featuring a New Topic each month presented by a trained adoption clinician.  Real Talk is a non-therapeutic conversational experience about issues relevant to adoptive families. It is not presented as a time of therapy; it is for informational purposes only. \nJoin Chena Blanchard in discussion about the importance of life books for children who have been adopted or are in long term foster care. Life books are an ongoing project to tell the story of a child’s life. They start when a child comes into care and grows as the child grows. \nCome ready to share your experiences.
