For Parents

BPC is an opportunity to share and learn with other parents. The class is co-taught by a parent with lived experience. This person really "gets it."

Why would a parent want to participate in BPC?

BPC will support parents in:

Learning more about the impact of trauma on yourself and on your children
Addressing challenging or difficult behaviors in your children
Talking with your children about your family’s experience
Coping with the big feelings you or your children may have
Learning and practicing parenting strategies

For parents who are, or who have been, or who are at risk of being involved with DCF (child welfare). This could mean your child is (or was) in foster care or someone has expressed concerns about your child continuing to live with you.

For Parents

Why would a parent want to participate in BPC?

The BPC offers opportunities for learning about the impact of trauma, but more importantly, how to heal and grow together as a family. We will do this through a mix of lessons, activities, idea sharing, videos, mindfulness, and small group discussions.

Trauma informed parenting makes a difference!

Caring for a child or youth who has experienced trauma can be challenging and difficult, especially when you may have had similar traumatic experiences. Unresolved trauma can negatively impact parenting and interfere with healthy decision-making.

The experience of trauma can lead to traumatic stress reactions that can be confusing, frustrating, and overwhelming for both parents and children. Traumatic stress reactions and other responses to trauma can cause children to behave in ways that may baffle you. Their relationship with you, with other adults, and even with their peers may feel shaky or unpredictable, and usual approaches to parenting may not work with them.
