  • Breakthrough Parenting Curriculum: Transforming trauma across generations

    Behavioral

    The BPC (Breakthrough Parent Curriculum): Navigating Trauma Across Generations is a 10 module course adapted from the NCTSN training called Caring for Children Who Have Experienced Trauma: A Workshop for Resource Parents (RPC). The BPC is specifically designed for parents who have been involved with (or are at risk for being involved with)the child welfare system. The course provides information about the impact of trauma on the development, attachment, emotions and behaviors of children while holding space for parents to learn together about concrete strategies for managing daily and ongoing challenges and enhancing their relationships with their children. All while acknowledging the challenges of parenting a child who has experienced trauma, while having experienced your own trauma.
