UPCOMING WORKSHOPS
Posttraumatic Growth in Parents of Children with Autism:
Helping Facilitate Growth and Healing
As a clinician you likely engage with parents of children with Autism that experience great struggle and challenge in their parenthood journey. This stress also impacts child outcomes significantly. You have helped these parents cope, and supported them in experiencing resilience. Imagine that you can be a part of facilitating a possible transformation - of reconstructing the narrative and supporting parents beyond coping and resilience. Post-traumatic growth (PTG) represents positive psychological change occurring in some who suffered trauma. In this workshop, you will gain an understanding of the unique multilayered compounding parenthood experience of parents of children with ASD, the ways in which these parents uniquely cope, the markers of PTG in these parents, as well as an understanding of how to help facilitate PTG in this population. You will gain not only an understanding of but receive an introductory overview of a set of tools and skills that can support you in the mastery of listening for and nurturing posttraumatic growth.
Learning Objectives
- Understand the definition of PTG and how it pertains to parents of children with ASD.
- Know the main differences in the parenthood experiences of parents of children with ASD, and how it differs from the experience of any other parent.
- Understand the findings of new research about PTG in this population.
- Know 3 strategies for helping to facilitate PTG with parents of children with ASD.
