Introduction

Parenting doesn’t come with an instruction manual. While it is a deeply rewarding journey, the constant demands of caregiving, managing family dynamics, and balancing professional responsibilities can leave parents feeling exhausted, disconnected, and overwhelmed. These feelings, compounded by societal expectations and a lack of self-care, often culminate in Parental Burnout (PB).

This program is designed to empower parents with actionable tools to recover from burnout, recharge their emotional batteries, and create stronger, more resilient families. Over two immersive weekends, parents will explore key topics tailored to their unique challenges, equipping them to thrive in their role.
