Live Webinar: Building Strong Relationships With Felt Safety
August 21 @ 6:00 pm - 7:30 pm
You’ve created a consistent and loving space—now, how do you help a child truly feel safe in it?
Safe and secure relationships are essential for healthy families, but children who have experienced adversity may need more than just a safe environment—they need to feel that safety in their body and mind. In this webinar, we’ll explore the concept of felt safety and how playful, consistent connection can help children begin to trust and connect with their caregivers. You will walk away with practical strategies, a personalized plan for strengthening felt safety at home, and creative ideas to weave playful relationship-building into everyday routines.
