SUMMARY:Building Stronger Bonds: Enhancing Parent-Child Attunement
DESCRIPTION:This workshop is designed to help caregivers foster a deeper emotional connection with their children through attunement. Attunement—the ability to understand\, respond to\, and connect with a child’s emotional needs—is fundamental to building a strong\, secure relationship. Caregivers will learn practical strategies to enhance emotional attunement\, improve communication\, and deepen responsiveness to their child’s needs. The workshop will also include mindfulness exercises to promote present-moment awareness and provide tools to navigate common challenges in parent-child relationships. \n\nDr. Amy Groessl\, a licensed clinical social worker\, brings extensive expertise in treating children and adults with complex trauma histories\, neurocognitive challenges\, attachment disorders\, and adoption-related issues. She is based in Chicago and provides psychotherapy\, clinical supervision\, and consultation through her private practice. \nDr. Groessl has been with NTI Upstream’s Training Faculty since 2016. She previously served as the Director of the Therapy Program at Children’s Research Triangle (CRT) for 11 years\, where she provided direct services\, conducted local and national training sessions\, and managed grants at the regional and federal levels. Her work included a seven-year project with the National Child Traumatic Stress Network\, further solidifying her contributions to the field. \nDr. Groessl is also a Core Faculty member at the Institute for Clinical Social Work\, where she teaches courses on qualitative research\, trauma\, attachment theory\, and neuropsychology. As an adoptee and genetic genealogist\, she integrates her personal and professional insights to support individuals navigating identity\, emotional\, and relational complexities associated with domestic and international adoption and unexpected DNA discoveries. Her unique blend of lived experience and professional expertise positions her as a trusted leader in the field of trauma and adoption-related work.
