This workshop will help you understand how anger and experiences are related and provide insight to things that may be triggering your child to have angry feelings. We will identify the beliefs that your child or you may hold in your invisible suitcase, which contribute to negative reactions toward others. This course will provide concrete, trauma-informed ways to work toward developing the skills necessary to help a child de-escalate his/her anger.
This has been approved for 3 hours of foster parent training credit.
Instructor: Christy Meyer
Christy Meyer is a retired mental health professional who has 14 years of experience working with foster children, foster parents, and their families. Christy has been a foster parent of 11 at-risk teens. She has extensive experience working with at-risk youth and their families. She was the lead therapist in a whole family foster care experience which successfully reunited six children and their parents. She has experience helping foster parents and biological parents work cooperatively for the best outcome for the child. Christy has a passion for improving communication and boundary setting with children by improving listening and understanding. She understands there is a strong need to help children identify and articulate their feelings. If a child feels safe and understood, that child is able to improve his ability to trust, which is a key part of developing healthy coping skills.
