Parenting Unpacked Winter 2022:

Parent Workshop: Practicing Radical Self-Acceptance
with BaMidbar Wellness Therapy

As humans, and especially parents, we’re hard on ourselves and are often our own loudest critic. Join 4Front for a virtual Parenting Unpacked session with BaMidbar Wilderness Therapy on February 16 at 7:00pm and learn how to “turn down the volume”, practice radical self-acceptance, and nurture self-compassion during times of insecurity or self-doubt.

In this session, parents will learn about the concept of radical self-acceptance and build practical skills to help both yourself and your teen interrupt the cycle of negative self-talk. BaMidbar Wilderness Therapy works with Jewish youth and young adults to ensure they have the confidence, skills, and community support to navigate life’s challenges and thrive in the face of adversity.
