THEIR LIVES, LIKE OURS, HAVE ENDINGS

TRAINER:  Vern Bradley

Endings occur every day! Maybe that’s why we have difficulty going to sleep at times! The kids we serve have experienced endings ad infinitum. As human beings, when we do not learn how to weave the experience of an ending into the fabric of our lives, we tend to stop living in the present moment, and we remain stuck in the past. So come to this “ending” and learn for ourselves how to incorporate endings so we can pass that important skill on to the kids we serve. Participants will assess to the extent they dismiss or deal with endings in their own lives, have the opportunity to reassess their style of dealing with endings, and brainstorm ways to support kids weaving endings into their lives.

PLEASE CHECK BACK SOON FOR THE NEW FALL 2024 SCHEDULE
