Clinician Workshop Series | Connection and Consequences: Helping Caregivers Find the Perfect Balance

Sponsored by the Academy for Behavioral Health and Continuing Education About the Event Parents and caregivers are often desperate to find a way to better support their children but can easily feel lost on where to start. This often means flip flopping between being overly harsh or overly accommodating, or can lead to parents feeling paralyzed and indecisive. This workshop will give clinicians concrete tools to guide families through tricky issues, such as difficulty in school, breaking house rules, or parent/teen conflict. The first half of the workshop will focus on teaching strategies that enhance connection and self-esteem. The second will highlight ways that parents can address problem behaviors and encourage skillful choices. Audience members will also hear concrete ways to combine skills so that caregivers are better able to find balance between these two crucial domains. The workshop will also cover common stuck points so that audience members walk away confident in their ability to support patients as they encounter barriers.
