Building Resilience in Children and Youth with ASD: Caregiver CBT Workshop with Individualized Follow-Up

About

What is resilience? Resilience is the set of skills and abilities that allow people to cope with challenging situations. Building resilience helps to prevent problems with behaviour and mental health.
Caregivers will assess their child/youth’s resilience and learn about the specific protective factors known to build resilience in children and youth: proactive parenting, emphasizing strengths and achievements, self regulation, social competence and fostering connections, attachment and community. Our approach is evidenced through strength-based Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT).

Caregivers participate in a weekly 1.5-hour webinar for three weeks and receive one 1-hour phone or video consultation to implement individualized strategies with their child at home.
