Rooting Safety: Supporting Young Parents in Breaking Cycles and Building Calm
Part one of a five-part series for CSEC-impacted parents who are raising children (Birth to Pre-K)
Part 1 opens the series by grounding providers in the core truth that CSEC‑impacted youth who are parenting babies through Pre‑K children are doing two enormous things at once: healing their own trauma while trying not to pass it on. This 60‑minute session gives staff a clear, compassionate framework for helping young parents (ages 14–24) understand how overwhelm shows up in their bodies, how generational trauma patterns repeat without support, and how to build simple, realistic self‑soothing strategies and healthy coping skills they can actually use in the moment with a baby or toddler present.
