Bearing Witness

Support for Kids in Crisis

Presentation by Jane Bluestein, Ph.D.

Constructive, supportive ways to help kids deal with their feelings and problems! Learn to distinguish between feelings and behaviors, avoid non-supportive responses (such as criticizing, minimizing, distracting, challenging, denying, rescuing, shaming, blaming or advising) which compromise trust and shut down communication.

We’ll cover simple, effective strategies to help provide a safe emotional environment in which kids can get their needs met for attention and validation, learn to deal with their feelings and experiences in emotionally intelligent ways, and resolve conflicts nondisruptively.
