Meeting DESCRIPTION:Trauma Informed Parenting\n\nPresented by:\n\nCarrie Rapp\, AFFM Resource Family Trainer\nChildren who have experienced trauma may h ave triggers that set off challenging behaviors. They need support from healthy adults to work through these challenges successfully. There is n o one way to parent every child but providing safety and support by usin g tools discussed in this session can help. When a child is triggered\, the child's intense emotion and challenging behaviors may trigger the pa rent as well. Emotional co-regulation will help calm the child and de-es calate challenging situations. It's important to remember that parenting will bring successes as well as challenges. You need to plan for the ch allenges and to celebrate the successes!\nGoals of this session:\n\n\n Identify trauma-informed strategies/parenting techniques for responding to behaviors children may exhibit.\n Explain the impact trauma can have on attachment and relationship development.\n Recognize the reasons th at parents who are fostering or adopting need to manage their own anger\ , avoid reactive behavior\, and increase their empathy.\n Describe the reasons that Trauma-Informed Parenting techniques work more effectively with children who have experienced separation\, loss\, and other forms o f trauma.\n Describe the difference between discipline and punishment.\ n\nclick the link to register: CARES - RSVP - Adoptive &\; Foster Fam ilies of Maine (affm.net) URL;VALUE=URI:https://affm.net/events/statewide-kinship-training-c-a-r-e -s-meeting/ UID:urn:uuid:8281ca7a-9bf6-48a2-984b-b5c4d57b459b STATUS:CONFIRMED ORGANIZER: DTSTAMP:20240425T081757Z DTSTART;TZID=UTC:20231024T180000 DTEND;TZID=UTC:20231024T193000 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:Statewide Kinship C.A.R.E.S MEETING DESCRIPTION:Kinship Only: Meets Tuesday\, Nov. 14\, 2023 from 6:00-7:30 P.M. by ZOOM Conferencing. RSVP IS REQUIRED EACH MONTH TO RECEIVE THE L INK TO JOIN THE MEETING. RSVP by calling Sheila at 207-827-2331\, email  sheila@affm.net\, or by clicking on the link below. Meeting led by Be tte Hoxie\, AFFM Kinship Program Manager\, and co-facilitator Dona Lane\ , M.
