Additional Questions
Do you offer opportunities for follow-up practice?
Yes. We believe that continued practice is an important part of making new skills and tools part of everyday life. We offer monthly Resilient Connections practice groups where participants can revisit and strengthen the skills they’ve learned. These groups are free, and anyone who has participated in an RFR training is welcome and encouraged to join us.
Participants are also invited to explore our Program Catalog for ways to continue learning and practicing with us. For organizations, our workshop packages and extended training series offer additional opportunities to deepen and expand this work.
I wish every parent could have these tools. Understanding how stress is affecting my teen — and having actual strategies to help — will help me be more responsive and less reactive, especially on tough days.
