Parent Session: Raising Resilient Kids Through Awareness / Prevention of Grooming

Optional Parent Session:

1-hour online or in-person
Strongly encouraged as an add on!

Sonia will share her personal experience from Groomed, discussing how, at 15, she was manipulated into an abusive relationship by an adult musician, which she initially believed was consensual. Sonia will encourage parents to reflect on their own early relationships, attachment to adults, and the impact of power imbalances between adults and children.

Parents will learn about:

• The Neurobiology of Attachment: How a lack of strong adult attachment can leave children
  vulnerable to grooming.
• The Village Concept: How creating a supportive network of trusted adults is vital to child
  development and protection.
• Grooming Prevention: How to strengthen relationships with their children, detect grooming
  behaviors, and ensure children feel supported by a strong, protective community.

By the end of the session, parents will understand the importance of cultivating safe, trusting relationships with their children and how to create a "village" that protects children from grooming and abuse.
