CORE TEEN (Critical On-going Resource Family Education) Session 7

A New Suitcase of Parenting Knowledge and Skills

December 22, 2025

5:00 PM-7:00 PM EST Via Zoom

Melanie Parsons, M.A.

2 credit hours

CORE Teen Curriculum provides parents with information they need to develop safe relationships with youth, while also focusing on how they can adapt their parenting styles to support the youth’s needs, rather than just focusing on behaviors. Session 7 will describe two ways that parents can support youth’s important connections and a sense of connectedness. It will demonstrate the impact of secondary trauma on parenting as well as identify the important elements to developing a self-care plan.

For additional information about this session, please feel free to contact Melanie Parsons, the Foster Parent Training Program (FPTP) Program Coordinator, at Melanie.Parsons@uky.edu.
