Triple P: Positive Parenting

Triple P is the flexible, practical way to develop skills, strategies, and confidence to handle any parenting situation. Triple P is an evidence-based parenting program with a toolbox of ideas that you can choose to use. Triple P helps parents raise happy, confident kids and manage misbehavior, so everyone in the family enjoys life more. Caregivers will learn to set rules and routines that everyone respects and follows, while encouraging positive behavior. Participants also discover ways to take care of themselves as a caregiver, and feel confident doing the right thing.

Understanding Adverse Childhood Experiences

In the ACE Interface training, you will learn about the Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACE) study and the neurobiology that explains why ACEs significantly affect people’s lives. This training will provide information on how we can dramatically improve health and resilience for this and future generations. This training is foundational to learning about trauma-informed care.

Boundary Setting with Teens

Boundaries are one of the most effective tools for bringing stability to families dealing with substance use disorder (SUD). Boundaries and rules are similar, but they are not the same. The subtle change in thought could mean the difference between bringing reason back to the family or remaining in pain. This workshop will teach the differences of rules and boundaries, guide how to set boundaries, and provide tools for setting healthy boundaries.

Cycle of Addiction

This session will detail the cycle the individual will go through who is using substances, as well as the process the family member will go through while their loved one uses substances. Participants will explore what it is like to be in each cycle for a substance user and for the family member. They will leave the session with a better understanding of the cycle of substance use and with tools they can use to break the cycle. 

Family Dynamics

This workshop explores various roles within a family when substance use is involved. Participants will learn the role each person plays, and how it impacts the family system, and discuss the cycle when a family does not receive help. Participants also will understand the functions of family dynamics, how the family cycle plays out, and what tools are available to help a family heal.

Why Am I Here?

One of the questions parents always ask is, “Why am I here? My child has the problem, not me.” Substance use, abuse, or addiction is a family affair. It affects the substance user, and their family. Our experience and multiple studies have shown the effectiveness of family involvement in helping the substance user recover, as well as helping the family recover. Participants will learn how the family is affected, recognize the effectiveness of family involvement, and utilize tools to bring sanity back to the family.

Grief 101 Series

The group of psychoeducation training will discuss the basics of grief and how it might present in various ways. Choose from the following topics: Educator’s grief, supporting a grieving child/student, supporting a grieving child on the autism spectrum, and supporting the grief in the community.
