Proudly presented in partnership, the New York State Parenting Education Partnership and Prevent Child Abuse New York are pleased to announce the next in a series of professional development webinars, presented by Wendy Bender, LCSW, of Prevent Child Abuse New York, Healthy Families New York Training and Staff Development Specialist.

Parenting a child with a disability can evoke many strong emotions. Most parents experience a process of grief as they learn to adjust and define new expectations. Understanding these emotions and how they influence thoughts and behaviors can be very challenging. This workshop will focus on the importance of working through emotional stages and understanding the process involved. This can be very helpful for providers who are working to support parents and for parents working through the process themselves.

Participants will:
-Learn about and understand the stages of grief, with practical, real-life examples.
-Appreciate the importance of emotional experiences in the process of healing and the risks of avoidance.
-Be able to define, “What is my role and how can I best support a parent?” or “How can I understand what I am going through and be supportive of myself?”
