1h 0m
Whether it’s on television, newspapers or through social media, children are gaining more and more exposure to violent images of conflict and traumatic events. It’s a scary world and understanding how best to support a child’s understanding of what they see can be stressful for parents. Gain practical strategies for having honest, age-appropriate conversations with your children about traumatic events from pediatric stress expert, Dr. Victor G. Carrion, M.D., Professor and Vice-Chair of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences at Stanford University.
Join us for an informative session as Dr. Carrion provides a practical guide for YPO parents to help their children cope with traumatic events. Build on a tactical approach to strengthen resilience in youth and learn to recognize the early signs of stress in children to determine their severity. Continue the conversation with fellow YPO parents afterwards, with an optional 30-minute flash forum experience immediately following the event.
You will exit this session with a toolbox that contains strategies for:
Helping parents sustainably support the children in their lives.
Managing stress levels for parents and their children.
Addressing distressing events with kids.
The navigation begins now.
