Most of us enjoy the sights, sounds, and special occasions of the holidays, regardless of what our family celebrates. However, this season can also be overwhelming and triggering for children impacted by trauma, prenatal substance exposure, or other developmental challenges. Navigating the Holidays offers resources to help strengthen and support your family in managing the busy pace, new foods, and irregular schedules of the holiday season. You will also gain tools to manage relationships with birth or first families, as well as your expectations and the changing dynamics common to kinship care relationships.
We provide high-quality, evidence-based resources that help you support your children. We want your family not just to survive this holiday season but to thrive.
