Parenting Workshop: Taking Care of Yourself

Parenting a child with emotional, behavioral, or developmental disabilities can be challenging. Parents and caregivers often report exhaustion, financial strain, and feelings of isolation. The perception of stigma can increase the sense of burden and isolation that our families feel as well. Dr. Elizabeth Reeve will share her unique insight into the effects that stress can have on parents and ways that we can reduce its impact on us. Participants will learn: • What is stress? • The effects of chronic stress • Unique stressors for parents • How to reduce stress in our lives This event is free, but please register online or email us at hcpclg@yahoo.com. Hosted by the Parent Catalyst Leadership Group (PCLG) of the Hennepin County Children’s Mental Health Collaborative
