Supporting a child through trauma can be confusing and difficult. Adults play an important role in supporting a child after trauma and it is key that adults understand trauma and its impact on the developing brain. Our team at The Grief and Trauma Healing Centre is honoured to organize this free, educational talk about trauma and children over a 90-minute virtual session on Thursday, September 30th at 7:00pm MT. The purpose of this talk is to provide parents, caregivers, and other adults who have young people in their lives with supportive strategies to reduce the impact and long-lasting effects of trauma.

The mind-body connection suggests there is a back and forth interaction between our thoughts, feelings and body responses. Grief is multifaceted and affects us not only emotionally, but physically as well. Physical limitations such as chronic pain or physical injury can also impact our emotional wellbeing. As grief and the body are interconnected and have a significant impact on our overall well being, our team at The Grief and Trauma Healing Centre is honoured to facilitate this free educational talk over a 90-minute virtual session on Thursday, June 24th at 7:00pm MT.

Supporting a child through grief is a tremendously difficult task. Caregivers, who are often impacted by the same loss, are left with little information on how grief presents in children and what to do to support them. With the desire to bring caregivers together and create a space for conversation about grief, our team at The Grief and Trauma Healing Centre is honoured to organize this free educational talk over a 90-minute virtual session on Thursday, March 11th at 7:00pm MT.

Anxiety is something experienced by many people. We may feel anxious before going on a first date or before giving a presentation at work. However, more and more, our youth are experiencing higher levels of anxiousness. There are many causes for this, and the many challenges arising as a result of COVID-19 have added to this.

In this workshop, you will learn about what anxiety is, the many causes of anxiety, including those related to COVID-19, how anxiousness presents in children and adolescents, and how you can best support the children in your life using easy-to-use tools.
