Holding Space for Fear - Panel Discussion

Children experience fear long before they have the words to explain it, and how adults respond in those moments often shapes how they respond to it throughout their lives. Join us for Holding Space for Fear, a thoughtful panel conversation exploring the intersection of neuroscience, trauma-informed care, and storytelling, and how each can help parents and caregivers remain grounded, compassionate, and emotionally present as children navigate difficult emotions.

Panelists:

•         Dr. Randolph B. Schiffer, renowned Neurologist & Child Psychiatrist

•         Wendy Rovers, Relationship Coach & Speaker

•         Nisrine Maktabi (RP), Trauma-Informed Consultant, Registered Psychotherapist
