Description
In this workshop, we will discuss how parenting practices and adversity are passed down through the generations of a family. We will learn about childhood adversity and the effects it has on the developing brain of our children. We will examine how the attachment relationship between parent and child impacts the future parenting skills of our children and how to make changes that will promote resilience in both ourselves and our children so that we can break the cycle of adversity.

1. Identify adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) and the impact they have on brain development.
2. Identify how the attachment relationship influences future parenting skills.
3. Understand the intergenerational transmission of ACEs and poor parenting skills.
4. Learn how to promote resiliency in parents and children.
