TreeHouse Health’s President & Clinical Director Billy Kaplan, LCSW, discusses the critical importance of providing adopted children therapeutic parenting through an attachment-focused, trauma-informed lens, but with a reminder to parents that nobody benefits when parents don’t also take care of themselves and their needs. Parents raising adopted kids know that a trauma-informed parenting approach, one that fosters feelings of safety and connectedness, is vitally important for children who have experienced the trauma of adoption. But the advice on how to do so often encourages parents to disregard or neglect their own needs, leading to burnout. You can be a trauma-informed parent without burning out. Parenting in SPACE™ is a new framework, developed by TreeHouse Health's psychotherapists, that gives parents a new set of tools for making sure they are meeting their own needs while effectively parenting adopted children.
