Course Calendar

The reality that some children and some teenagers abuse their parents is poorly understood and rarely publicly discussed.  Parents who are abused and threatened by their own children feel great shame and typically try to hide it until a major crisis occurs. By then it is often at a level where it is very difficult to make changes.

Teenage perpetrators of violence in the home often have difficulties in a number of other domains as a result of this problem – poor school attendance, drug or alcohol abuse, troubled relationships, violence and/or criminal activity outside the home. If, as a society, we are serious about addressing violence as early as possible in the cycle, then this is a topic about which we should be seeking to educate ourselves.

This workshop seeks to educate practitioners and counsellors in the field about this problem and to provide some practical insights into how best to assist these families.

The perinatal period covers pre-conception, pregnancy and
infancy. Losses during this time can be devastating for not only
the parents, but the broader family system. This is an experience
that many people never have to navigate and is often kept private.
This workshop is designed for counsellors, social workers or
anyone who wishes to support people impacted by perinatal grief
and loss.

The workshop covers:
• Different experiences of trauma, loss and grief in the perinatal
setting
• How the healthcare system supports parents
• Impact of grief and loss on family systems
• Models to work with perinatal grief and loss
