Due to popular demand after session 1 one, the UBC Learning Circle is excited for another session with Denise Findlay on Thursday, October 11th. In follow up to her previous session, Raising Resilient Children.
Indigenous people have suffered significant stressors in the past as a result of Residential School – that make resilience of paramount importance. A significant number of today’s Indigenous children and adolescents continue to be exposed to wounding environments both inside and outside of their communities. This session will explore our role as parents and teachers in ensuring that our children develop a strong heart- mind connection so that they can reach their full potential as emotional beings. We are all born with an innate capacity for empathy, compassion, and self-reflection, however, this capacity must be developed in the context of our relationships. This is especially true for our children. It is in the context of a deep emotional connection to us that this innate potential to become fully human is born and developed.
Denise will share:
- Dr. Gordon Neufeld’s latest insights in regards to the keys to resilience
- Her personal experience working within Indigenous communities
- What adults, specifically parents and educators, can do in the context of relationship to ensure that our children and adolescents reach their full potential
