We continue to live in trying times, which has lead to increased stress for our families. Sometimes the most we can do is focus on the things within our own control. Being aware of our own stress level and the impact on our mental health and mindset can help us move forward.
To support parents in understanding stress, and learning how to support our children in navigating stress, we are sharing this recent webinar from the Center for Family Initiatives at Pine River Institute, which offers some very useful, and tangible information for families, and includes topics such as:
- How stress effects the brain & body, and emotional regulation
- The importance of attunement and connection, especially during periods of trauma (pandemic),
- Insight on obstacles that prevent us from connecting, and strategies on how to improve connections.
We encourage all Allenby families to watch the webinar, stay connected and reach out if you need help.
