Journey of Hope for Caregivers Workshop

Designed to strengthen supportive and effective learning environments for children, the Journey of Hope Care for Caregivers Workshop promotes the emotional well-being of teachers, administrators, parents, social workers and childcare providers.

From nearly 80 years of global experience, Save the Children knows that children’s emotional and mental health often reflects the well-being of their caregivers. Especially during difficult or ambiguous circumstances, children rely on adults to understand and process events.

To give them the support they need, child caregivers need stable and cohesive communities where they can learn and grow together. These communities help caregivers process recent events, cope with current challenges, and realize that their emotional health directly impacts their ability to care for children. 

By attending the Journey of Hope Care for Caregivers Workshop, caregivers can be more fully present and attentive to the needs of children under their care.

During the three-hour workshop, participants will:

• Work together to build a community of trust;
• Understand reactions to stress;
• Enhance skills for coping; and
• Identify and amplify community strengths and assets.
