Resourceful Parenting
Learn skills to relieve stress and overwhelm
Becoming a parent is a huge transition and brings with it a whole host of emotions. For most parents, the intensity of all the changes combined with the relentlessness of caring for a baby can make for feelings of stress and overwhelm. While these feelings are entirely normal, they aren't always comfortable and sometimes they lead us to feel depressed, anxious or not ourselves.
Resourceful Parenting is a curriculum-based approach to combat stress and help develop skills to reduce overwhelm, lift mood, and connect with our children. The program combines cognitive-behavioral approaches, mindfulness, and attachment theory and has been shown in studies to have a positive impact on mood and stress. Sessions include a brief presentation, time for building skills, and group sharing and discussion.
The group is open to international parents of all age children who are looking to reduce their feelings of stress and overwhelm. We are open to anyone who considers themselves a mother*, a father* or primary caretaker regardless of gender identity or family structure.
