A young girl looks at a tablet while her parents are visibly frustrated in the background

When parents become exhausted, frustrated, and ready to give up with a child who is acting out, unappreciative and unrewarding, the parent may understandably be stuck in blocked care due to the stress they are experiencing. Based upon the work of two well-known researchers and therapists, this training will help parents understand that blocked care is a predictable response to toxic stress. Parents will develop self-compassion and learn strategies for increasing their capacity to empathize and reconnect with the child, as well as be a healing resource for them.
