***This class has been canceled*** Description: Tired of trial‐and‐error, unhelpful advice, or quick‐fixes that cause negative long‐term results? Want clear guidelines and practical skills so you can think for yourself? Then come learn the Universal Blueprint® Guide to Parent Success (GPS) System, where you’ll learn now to answer three questions, take up to five steps, and use five core tools. This reliable step‐by‐ step method guides you toward your healthy parenting goals while helping you prevent common parenting challenges and plan healthy, trauma‐ informed, individualized responses to challenges that do arise.
The Foster-Adoptive Parents Toolshop® training series is a comprehensive 30+ hour evidence-based, trauma informed parenting curriculum for foster and kinship caregivers and adoptive parents. The entire series will be offered over the next 8 months, September 2022, June 2023 and will be taught by the curriculum’s author Jody Johnston Pawel, LSW, CFLE, CTSS. While each individual workshop is valuable as a stand-alone workshop, when combined they create a parenting system called The Universal Blueprint® for Parenting Success. You can use this universal system to prevent common parenting challenges and plan personalized responses and solutions to those that arise, based on the child, circumstance, and family involved. The series offers an overview of the system and its tools, plus the in-depth workshops in order, so they build on each other. Don’t worry if you can’t take them all, you can take one, some or as many as you wish! The Series will be offered on the 2nd and 4th Mondays from September 2022 to June 2023 from 3-6pm. Please note there are some 2- part trainings. You must attend both sessions to get credit. Guest Instructor: Jody Johnston-Pawel, LSW, CFLE Jody Johnston Pawel is a Licensed Social Worker in the State of Ohio and a Certified Family Life Educator. She is the author of the award-winning The Parent’s Toolshop® book and Founder/CEO of the Relationship Toolshop® International Training Institute.
