The presentation is highly interactive and hands-on with activities and strategies used throughout the session.
chaos to calm
As a caregiver to a child, it can be especially challenging to manage everything in the roles we take on in our lives. Our children are going through tough times as well and they need our support.
In order to do that, we have to take care of ourselves, manage our stress and be healthy and happy for them.
The SOS Chaos to Calm workshop focuses on the wellness of caregivers and how to support children we care for. Please join us to learn about stress management, self-compassion, mindful caregiving and connection.
