About the Course

Parenting teenagers brings many challenges, even before you add in a history of trauma. Join us as we explore teenager basics: what is typical development vs. trauma responses, how loss & identity hit different for our teens from hard places, and a few strategies for navigating the balance between connection, boundaries and control.

Meet Kelly - KPARC/KCSN Family Training Specialist

Kelly is a former speech-language pathologist whose personal and professional journey is deeply connected to adoption and trauma. She and her husband are parents to six children, including three adopted from foster care right here in Kansas. After walking through ongoing, intense challenges within her own family, Kelly returned to school to earn her master’s degree in neuroscience and trauma. Since then, she has dedicated herself to training professionals in trauma-informed practices and offering connection, understanding, and hope to adoptive families in crisis. She is excited to join K-PARC and KCSN in supporting Kansas families as they build stronger connections and move toward healing and resilience.
