The Latinx Parenting Professionals Intensive will be a thorough discourse of the
present well-being of an ever-expanding and evolving Latinx family demographic within
this country: Latin American origin families.

In this two-day, 8-hour training, service professionals and care providers like 
therapists, social workers, early childhood educators, childcare providers, clergy,
and medical professionals will learn tools rooted in social justice, healing-centered
engagement and cultural sustenance, and valuable new skills for supporting Latinx
parents and children in their practice. These include immigrant parents, first and
second-generation U.S.-born Latinx self-identified parents, and their children.

Participants in this workshop will come away with a holistic understanding of Latinx
cultural and environmental circumstances pertaining to their unique parenting styles
and intergenerational experiences and how to implement strategies with families 
that honor and sustain their cultural values respectfully.

We’ll review and discuss Trauma-Informed Care and Healing Centered engagement and
its relevance to supporting Latinx communities in mental health and within family
dynamics. You’ll receive and overview of historical oppression and its significance
to Latinx communities and learn healing practices that are person-centered, trauma-
informed, and strengths-based.

We will also take a look at the implications for therapists, teachers, family educators,
and other practitioners and the importance of strength-based and culturally sustaining
adaptations towards Latinx self-actualization and thriving rooted in social justice
and nonviolence.
