Robbyn Peters Bennett posted:My hope is to distribute this to Pediatrician offices that are screening for ACEs, because pediatricians have told me that they need a way to offer something useful to the parent who is higher risk and who needs a "quick fix" to parenting problems. Sometimes, if we ask the parent about themselves and their needs, it can help with their sense of overwhelm.
The resiliency section is intended to help the parent think about what they need for themselves and to also show where they are doing well.
The flyer has a link to resources that can help. A common complaint from pediatricians is that they ask if parents need parenting support, and parents almost unanimously say "yes!," but hardly anybody shows up for onsite parenting classes.
So, we are trying something different. We are offering an online free positive parenting webinar and directing them to truama-informed, resiliency-based parenting closed Facebook groups for support. We are also offering a LIVE online class (for a fee) that they can sign up for. They don't have to drive anywhere or get a sitter.Ideally, I wish I could get funding to support offering this class at a discount or free to high risk families.
You are welcome to use the resiliency assessment. I should probably do a webinar about it, so it makes more sense. So little time, so much to do!
Sorry, I don't know how to reply without a quote either!? I work with adults living with HIV/AIDS. I love your resilience assessment, because it outlines essential skills for effective living, and also seems to be a great working list for potential treatment plan goals. I plan on using this in our clinic, if you are ok with it. I also love Bruce Perry's work, and the Neurosequential model. It looks like you are doing incredible work! Thanks for passing this along.
