Parent Training & Support Groups

2024 Wildlife Rehab Recap

December 16, 2024

We believe family connections are essential to treatment and growth. Having the tools to help manage your child’s challenges, strengthen family communication, and maintain self-care are also essential to your child’s success. Green Chimneys offers regular opportunities to build your knowledge as well as a strong network of parent-to-parent support.

Live online workshops are designed to help you expand your repertoire of skills to manage your child’s emotional and behavioral challenges, and take care of yourself in the process. Sessions combine our Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) curriculum with that of Therapeutic Crisis Intervention (TCI) in order to provide you with both skills in-the-moment and skills to help you effect real long-term change. Each session will include a large group teach and small group breakouts to allow for questions and practice.

Parent Support Group

Our Virtual Parent Support Groups are facilitated by Green Chimneys clinicians for one hour on the third Tuesday of every month from 6:30-7:30pm. All parents and caregivers are welcome to attend any session; there is no need to RSVP. If the group becomes large, facilitators will move smaller groups of parents into virtual breakout rooms. A meeting link will be shared with families to join a session at any time.

Gyrfalcon

Crowned the best for falconry in medieval times, gyrfalcons were once reserved for kings. As the largest falcon in the world, with exquisite plumage ranging from bright white to deep charcoal, gyrs are revered for their powerful skill of flight. Their long wings make hunting waterfowl from 3,000-feet-high a feasible and fantastical feat. This falcon was flown in the sport of falconry for several years.
