Local nonprofit the Four Corners Child Advocacy Center is hosting a few trainings next week for parents and community members.
On Tuesday evening from 5:15-6:15 p.m., the center will host an “Understanding How Trauma Affects Children” workshop, led by therapist Rachel Heberle. The training aims to inform attendees on the effect of traumatic events on children and how to best support young people in these scenarios.
Registration for this event is currently full, but organizers encourages interested participants to look out for another training in March.
And on Wednesday, the organization’s executive director Rose Jergens will lead a “Nurturing Healthy Sexual Development” training, where she will talk about the expected development of children, healthy sexuality, and child sexual abuse preventions. Attendees will discuss how to respond to children’s behaviors and questions in ways that promote healthy development and mentalities.
The Wednesday training will happen from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the center at 140 N. Linden St. For more information and to register for the second event, visit the organization’s website.
