Challenges & Solutions

Does the idea of talking with your child about sexual orientation and gender identity feel difficult or even a little scary? Do you wonder how to raise a child to be open to these issues in themselves and an ally to others?

Your child will look to you for guidance about how to feel and act about this issue with regard to themselves and others. You may be wondering how to communicate with your LGBTQIA child in a way that shows them that you are an ally. Many parents want to show support, but don’t know quite what to say or what not to say.This workshop will help you prepare for an open, ongoing dialogue with your child or teen that is authentic and supportive.

If you’re feeling like you don’t have the bandwidth to be the parent you really want to be, you are not alone.

One recent study reports that 66% of working parents are experiencing “parental burnout” which may include increased anxiety, depression, use of alcohol, increased punitive parenting and even feeling distant from their kids. At the same time we are seeing soaring rates of depression, anxiety, self-harm and other mental health problems in children and teens. The American Academy of Pediatrics has actually declared a “national crisis” in pediatric mental health. This post-pandemic perfect storm is impacting families across the country.

This workshop will help you recognize the ways this national crisis may be affecting your family and/or how to protect your family from its impact. You’ll have a chance to consider parenting basics that can reduce family challenges and strengthen family well-being. You’ll be able to look at when you may want to lean in a bit more with your kids and when you can step back to reduce stress.

Bring Your Inner Child To Work Day (OMG)

Experts

Ruth Freeman,LCSW

Cora Megan,MA

Challenges & Solutions

Let’s be real…many of us have had our kids “at work” enough over the past couple of years, but what about our “inner child?” Let’s bring them out to play.

So what is your “inner child?” One definition refers to your subconscious mind that was picking up messages before you were mentally and emotionally able to fully process what was happening around you. Your inner child holds emotions, memories and beliefs from the past, as well as hopes and dreams for the future.

Your inner child holds some gifts you may not be accessing. Children learn and thrive through play, so we will examine the ways that bringing that playful part of us to work can stimulate creativity, relaxation and positive relationships.

Join Peace At Home founder, Ruth E. Freeman, LCSW and much loved early childhood expert, Cora Megan, MA to think together about how your inner child is either showing up in ways that challenge you or maybe getting ignored in ways that limit your happiness and satisfaction with life.

Teen Mental Health – Essential Knowledge and Skills for Parents

May 23, 2023 1:00 pm EDT/EST

Expert

Marc Lehman,LMFT

Challenges & Solutions

All teens are sad, anxious, irritable, or disrespectful at times. They may seem withdrawn or distant from time to time. In most cases, these are just typical phases in their development. However, persistent troubling behaviors may indicate a more serious problem. Without attention, these mental health conditions can prevent teens from reaching their full potential and may even indicate they are at risk of unsafe behavior or self-harm.

Whether your child is doing fine and you want to prevent future mental health issues, or they just don’t seem like their usual self, or they have actually declared concerning thoughts, you can help.
