Being With: A Parenting Course (April)

Join Erin Nasmyth, LSCW and ASA Executive Director along with fellow parents of children with big, baffling behaviors in this workshop. Based upon her year-long, immersive Being With training with Robyn Gobbel, LCSW, Erin will guide you to gain clarity around your child’s behaviors and gain confidence that SEEING your child clearly actually IS a parenting tool!

Through this course, you will also... 

(1) Master the ability to identify your child’s level of regulation and utilize specific parenting interventions based on THEIR unique needs.  

(2) Develop practical ways to help YOURSELF stay regulated and connected, even in the face of difficult behavior.  

(3) Feel confident that you are a parent who is doing the very best you can... especially when circumstances are difficult.

This course is a hybrid format and will offered in four parts.  Course material will be taught live, weekly for three Tuesdays  as a Lunch & Learn followed by a live, virtual community conversation on the final Tuesday of the month in the evening.  If you cannot attend the live, midday teaching, recordings will be sent to you later that day.  The expectation is that participants will have heard all three modules prior to attending the live community conversation.
