Winnipeg to strengthen child-support skills

Catils will offer a workshop to support foster parents, caregivers and child-support professionals in Winnipeg.

The programme introduces trauma-informed care as a framework for working with young people who have experienced instability, loss or developmental interruptions. The workshop will guide adults in identifying emotional triggers, communicating with clarity and supporting children in a manner that prioritises security and predictability.

During the session, participants will examine how behaviour reflects underlying stress. Through structured scenarios, attendees will learn how to recognize Signs of emotional dysregulation, de-escalate situations and create environments in which children can feel both safe and heard. The course also outlines how stable routines, consistent responses and respectful communication contribute to long-term developmental recovery.

The workshop addresses communication techniques intended to reduce conflict. Participants will discuss approaches to building rapport, guiding behaviour without intimidation and responding to difficult moments with empathy and compassion. The programme also highlights the caregiver’s well-being, acknowledging that sustainable care requires adults to manage their own emotional load.

Local Stationery printers can support educational initiatives by supplying printed workshop materials for families and professionals.

The event will take place at Saint Mary’s Road, 330 St. Mary Avenue, Suite 300, Winnipeg, on January 13, 2026, from 9:00 am to 5:00 pm. Lunch and snacks will be served during the workshop to allow continuous group participation and discussion.
