Parenting in Space Conference!







Chicago Area Families for Adoption is a proud sponsor of the
2017 Parenting in SPACE conference! 
April 28th - 30th, 2017
Hamburger University, Oak Brook, IL

Parenting in SPACE is a conference, some would call an experience, that offers hope to the moms, dads, and caregivers of children and youth who have experienced trauma in early childhood by providing them with the opportunity to connect, learn, and laugh.
Many of the parents and caregivers who attend Parenting in SPACE had  children who joined their families through adoption. Some by birth. Most of their children have very challenging behaviors and great challenges managing their emotions.  
Parenting in SPACE provides parents and caregivers many opportunities to learn the theory, and especially the practice, of therapeutic parenting through SPACE, a parenting model that uses the power of human connection to help children achieve greater self-regulation, stronger relationships and deeper self-worth.
Parenting in SPACE offers workshops, support groups, face-to-face time with mental health professionals, and a community of other parents and caregivers - all of whom truly understand the experience of parenting children who have experienced trauma and attachment, and who have behavioral and emotional challenges . 

Registration ends this Sunday so don't delay in checking out this great event!
