Description

Parents and carers do all they can to protect their children from harm. However, life can bring major events that have a negative impact on children’s lives. Moving home, changing schools, family separation, divorce, natural disasters, the death of a family member or a loved pet or a world-wide pandemic are only some of the difficulties children face. When children experience hardships that significant events can bring, or witness horrors through the media, it is stressful and difficult for parents to navigate as children are seldom mature enough to manage challenges effectively on their own.

For employees with caring responsibilities, managing work and family effectively can be hampered when working parents are stress and unsure about how to support their children experiencing major events.

Resourcing employees reduces parental stress so they can succeed at home and be more focussed and productive at work. Workplace programs that support working parents and their families to thrive, nurture a family-friendly workplace culture.

Designed for working parents and carers raising children aged toddler to teenager.

Objectives

The step-by-step practical strategies in this session help busy working parents and carers to better understand:

  • What constitutes a major event for a child
  • Ways children might react after a major event.
  • Deciding if a child needs professional care.
  • What parents (teachers, carers, grandparents) can do to assist the recovery process.
  • By learning, reflecting, engaging in polls and asking questions.

Working parents and carers will develop the knowledge, skills and confidence they need to help their children successfully navigate major life events and assist them through the recovery process.
