Skills For Healthy Boundaries…Rebuilding A Child’s Self-Identity
Thursday, November 1st, 6:30pm-8:30pm…(doors open at 6pm for meet and greet)
Location: El Dorado County Office of Education, 6767 Green Valley Rd., Placerville, Building B-1
Boundaries are largely formed in childhood. How a child is treated by others shapes how their boundaries are defined. Any type of abuse - physical, emotional, or sexual, is a boundary invasion. Victims of abuse experience a loss of control over their own bodies and lives. Our presenter, Judy Knapp, will share the Circles Program and other skill building techniques so we can learn how to help kids of all abilities gain power over their bodies and have healthy relationships. This class counts towards annual training hours (as do all our classes!).
