Parents often feel stuck or overwhelmed, and as clinicians, we have the opportunity to engage them with compassion and confidence. This introductory workshop will provide a foundation for supporting parents in discovering solutions without “fixing” issues for their children. We will introduce key concepts and practical tools to begin this work. This workshop will equip you with foundational concepts and practical starting points that you can build upon in your work with parents.

Clinicians will gain insight into how to:

• Model desired behaviors for parents to use with their children
• Maintain professional boundaries to prevent burnout
• Support parents in fostering self-leadership skills in both themselves and their children.

This workshop is designed to spark reflection and conversation, providing a starting point for deeper learning and application in clinical practice.
