Parent Education & Support

Parenting can be rewarding, overwhelming, confusing, and sometimes all three at once. Parent education at The Healing Place is designed to help caregivers better understand their child’s behavior, emotions, and developmental needs while building practical skills that can be used at home.

The goal is not to teach a single “right” way to parent. Instead, programs focus on helping caregivers understand what may be happening beneath behavior, strengthen connection, respond more intentionally, and find strategies that fit their child and family.

Groups & Workshops Coming Soon!

Parent education groups and workshops are currently being developed and will be offered in person in Dansville and virtually based on interest and availability.

Topics May Include

  • Understanding the purpose behind behavior

  • Big emotions, meltdowns, and emotional dysregulation

  • Emotional regulation and co-regulation

  • Connection before correction

  • Effective boundaries, limits, and consequences

  • Developmentally appropriate expectations

  • Communication and relationship building

  • Supporting children with anxiety, ADHD, or impulsivity

  • Parenting after stressful or traumatic experiences

  • Building confidence and independence

  • Strengthening the parent-child relationship

  • Taking care of yourself while caring for your child

What to Expect

Programs will be educational, practical, and supportive, with opportunities to learn about child development and behavior, explore parenting strategies, ask questions, and identify approaches that may work for your family.

You do not need to have a child receiving therapy at The Healing Place to participate unless otherwise specified for a particular program.
