A 5-Hour Training with Dr. Tana Bridge

May 7, 2024

8:30am-3:00pm

PRESENTATION: Professionals are often charged with supporting families after major disruptions including family conflict, divorce, foster care (abuse and neglect), and a substance use. These disruptions can be significant as core relationships are broken. Children often struggle and adults often struggle in repairing the relationship while parenting.  

This session will explore critical theory in attachment, loss, and trauma. With the professional as a ‘parent coach’, engagement and activities that foster repair and behavior management will be explored.  

As a result of this training, participants will be able to:

• Summarize attachment, loss and trauma theories;
• Describe the many emotional and psychological impacts on a child/youth of a disrupted relationship with caregiver;
• Apply critical strategies to strengthen the caregiver-child relationship;
• Describe the role of the professional as a parent coach; and
• List behaviors and opportunities to foster relationships through behavior management.
