Supporting Regulation: Making a Safety Plan for Your Whole Family (Part 4)

In part 4 of a 8 part series, Ashley Bennett, our Director of Trauma Informed Care, helps us consider the kind of conversations we need to have with the members of our family and what kind of safety plan we might need, depending on the intensity of dysregulation our child experiences. Take a listen to part 4 (or go check out parts 1-3 first!).

 

The Restore Network exists to change the culture of foster care and equip God's people to meet the needs of vulnerable children and youth. The children we serve have experienced complex developmental trauma and their experiences have changed their brains, bodies, beliefs, and behaviors. These resources are created to equip caregivers, volunteers, child welfare professionals, and our church partners to navigate the joys and complexities of caring for these vulnerable children. The resources we offer are based on the principles of Trust Based Relational Intervention created by the Karyn Purvis Institute of Child Development at Texas Christian University as well as other areas of attachment theory and relational neuroscience which we believe line up with how God created our brain and bodies for relationship and the design plan for human flourishing.
