| Theme |
| CRAFTY represents the skills and attributes of Curiosity, Responsiveness,
Assertiveness, Focus, Thoughtfulness and a Yes attitude! Teenagers can switch,seemingly in an instant, from angelic to demonic! Their parents, apparently, can be provoked into similar states. That’s not going to change over night, but there are principles and techniques that will help you to be less stressed and more resourceful. |
| Aims |
| No easy answers (sorry!), no quick fixes (even sorrier!), just some challenging ideas, uncomfortable truths, and some practical techniques for responding differently as your adolescents get worse! |
| Who should attend |
| Adoptive and foster parents who want to learn how to tell their
children about their adoption;
adoption professionals. |

| Theme |
| By fully understanding their child's story, parents can develop additional healing responses to their children. This two-day workshop will help adoptive parents understand the impact of their child's early history on their social and emotional development and their behaviour. |
| Aims |
| To provide parents with a model for understanding the healthy social and emotional development of children growing up; to support parents' understanding of the implications of how early trauma disrupts their children's healthy development, and why this often makes adoptive parenting uniquely challenging; to provide understanding of how children's behaviour is a manifestation of painful experiences and often an indicator of unmet emotional needs; to identify a range of strategies that will help children to heal emotionally; to help parents develop a range of responses that meets their children's specific needs. |
