What can parents do that will really help to protect kids’ mental health? Make home a safe place. A really safe place. You might be thinking, “What? Of course, our home is a safe place.” Think again. Every day brings something new to worry about and the blurry lines between work and home can make it hard to leave your stress at the door. The good news is that the skills you need to manage the anxiety of work, home, and the world are the same. You will be able to consider seven principles for creating a safe, peaceful home built on decades of research focused on parent-child relationships and outcomes for kids. After this class you will be able to: - Recognize the nature of stress and how it impacts your body, your behavior, and your family - Identify and apply evidence-based strategies to reduce the negative impact of stress on yourself and others Presenter: Tanika Eaves, PhD, LCSW, IMH-E®.
