WEBINAR DESCRIPTION:
In this webinar, participants will learn about research linking the neuroscience of addiction and trauma to parenting struggles and developmental risks in families affected by parental substance use. The implications for parenting interventions that target parental mentalizing capacity and child attachment security will be reviewed.
The session will highlight intervention strategies directed at parents and children to facilitate children’s communication and self-regulation. Attendees will gain insight into therapeutic approaches that support narrative expression, empower emotional regulation, and build safe, supportive environments for children affected by trauma. This webinar is ideal for educators, speech-language pathologists, mental health professionals, and caregivers seeking to deepen their understanding of trauma-informed care and its role in promoting healing and development in children.
