WHAT ENCANTO TEACHES US ABOUT PARTNERING WITH PARENTS AND HEALING OUR INNER CHILD WOUNDS
Event Details
As infant and early childhood educators, home visitors, and mental health practitioners, we understand that collaborating with caregivers is important for our children’s outcomes. However, some families just “rub us the wrong way” even when we’re eager to build rapport with them. In this workshop, you will deepen your understanding of attachment theories to include concepts like attachment adaptations and inner child wounds. These concepts will support you to “meet the families where they’re at” in trauma-informed and developmentally caring ways. Together, we’ll put “intergenerational transmission of trauma and resilience” into action, specifically in our partnership with families. You’ll explore these concepts through self-reflection exercises using Encanto and large group interactive discussions. You’ll walk away with more compassion for your own and the families’ inner child wounds and concrete strategies to address them. Come curious. Come as you are.
