How To Help Parents Shed Trauma and Toxic Stress

You can't be a good parent if you're emotionally stressed and dealing with trauma. Where is this trauma coming from? What is the impact of these stressors on our children? Dr Christine Gibson, a family physician and advocate of trauma-informed care, speaks to us about how parents can relearn their trauma response through brain-based and body-based strategies. Register here for her workshop in Kuala Lumpur on 23, 24 and 25 February (special promo rate for BFM listeners by registering as a group and entering ‘BFM’ in Group Name).
