This three-part series will explore how trauma and resilience shape the lives of parents and children, both individually and in relationship with one another. Together we will examine what happens in the brain when trauma occurs, how unaddressed trauma affects parenting and child development, and how resilience and healing can be nurtured through connection. Sessions will also address the intersection of trauma and substance use disorder, offering strategies to strengthen families and support recovery.
