Self-care and mindfulness are critical to successful parenting. While parenting can be challenging and rewarding, parenting children through adoption, kinship, foster or guardianship has some additional wrinkles that are also part of the process. Sometimes it is tempting to self-sacrifice or minimize self-care in service to others, and particularly for our children. This can be even more likely when our children have experienced loss, trauma, neglect or other hardships. We will explore, and practice, self-care and mindfulness activities and begin to develop a plan of action to put prioritized activities into practice.
This training will be held in-person in Lincoln. Location information will be shared upon registration.
