Last week, I hosted a webinar on trauma-informed supervised visitation, and the audience made it clear to me how many people need guidance in this area. I pulled together some of the key points from the webinar and created this handout. Feel free to share it, but please give me credit for creating it. I deeply appreciate your honesty.
This info sheet only scratches the surface of my webinar's full content, but if it makes a small improvement on the supervised visit process for even one child, it's worth it. I'd love to hear your thoughts.

In today's world, where social media and online interactions can often lead to increased anxiety, depression, and suicidal ideation among adolescents, adults MUST be proactive.
I understand that this is a tough topic to broach with children. It's so hard to teach our children about abusive people, but understanding how to prevent and recognize the signs of abuse is crucial for their safety and well-being.

Quote of the Day:
"The question is always: what are we going to have to sacrifice in order to develop, in order to get to the next stage of our lives?"
- Adam Phillips
To me, this quote applies to childhood trauma because there will be things we need to sacrifice to help children heal and move forward. It could be a relationship, a habit, a job, or something less obvious. I encourage you to think about what you might need to sacrifice to help the children you love heal from trauma.
In Closing...
I hope you do one positive thing for your community this week. We are all struggling with the world we live in, and most of us are afraid of what the future brings. Adding value to my online and offline community is how I hold onto hope. If everyone did this, imagine the positive impact it could have.

10 个月The very first question I always ask is why is a supervised trauma-informed visitation happening? Is it court mandated? Is there a specific methodology as to why this is a good move? Is this a major trigger source? Does this open up wounds and reinforce the already existing trauma? Let's not run the trauma scenario simply to satisfy adult needs. Resilience can be built through understanding but sometimes a difficult decision must be made to avoid opening up and revisiting hidden wounds. I seek moderation so that a child can find their path to healing.
