Hi there! I learned a practice called "listening partnerships" from a non-profit called Hand in Hand Parenting (Palo Alto) and used it as the central practice to build a loose network of parent-to-parent peer support in Berkeley in the East Bay. I was a trained and certified instructor and trainer in Hand in Hand's accompanying parenting curricula, but after a few years I stopped using their full curricula because it seemed insufficient in the context of our growing understandings of how trauma resolves in children, parents and families. I continued teaching and supporting parents for a few years after that using many of the Hand in Hand tools (with permission and citation) while augmenting their materials with a trauma-informed lense, body-based & strength-building approaches, and a shift in emphasis throughout to empower parents more deeply. I am currently working to formalize what I taught into a curricula that will have online and in person components and is slated to be further fleshed out through interviews and review by trauma experts. The peer-to-peer listening support model, coupled with resilience building practices that parents can do at home (on their own and with kids), will provide the daily regulation support to help parent remain centered and well resourced for the work of parenting. Support circles (online and in person) will also be available after a series of introductory workshops that we hope to have broadly available throughout our community. I am working with local experts to piece together the best resources we can to put these "home grown" tools and supports into the hands of as many parents in our community as we can! Does this help? Feel free to message me if you want to know more. (We are called The Family Spirit Center). Good luck!
