So, what is therapy and how can you support your child through this process? Therapy is simply a special kind of conversation. If you’re struggling with something emotionally, you might be willing to talk to someone in therapy (also called counseling). It’s really common to have assumptions or doubts about this type of help especially if you’ve never had experience working with a therapist. Sometimes the way therapy is portrayed on TV or in movies can be less than flattering!

Knowing more about therapy might help you and your child feel more comfortable about asking for help when you’re facing a difficult time. Different parts of the brain are responsible for interpreting information. So when we talk about our problems and get them out we process them differently because now we are hearing ourselves instead of keeping it inside. In this conversation you try to understand and/or solve problems and learn to recognize and increase your personal strengths.

This training is intended for those that work with children and youth within or at risk of entering the child welfare system including resource parents, social workers, CASA, educators, volunteers and coaches.
