This parent group is focused on recognizing past parental trauma and how it is passed on through generations. It focuses on ways to “break the cycle” by engaging parents in the exploration of their own emotional world and patterns, in order to create more positive relationships between parents and their children. In this way, the children benefit tremendously, as the parents learn to become more mindful and present, compassionate, less stressed, and more supported by their community.
This research-based group was originally developed by Dr. Vilma Reyes with Child Trauma Research Program at University of California, San Francisco.
