Aimee Day and her son Ty share an honest look at the tension between keeping a child safe and preparing them for adulthood. Aimee will reflect on her instinct to protect, while Ty will share what it felt like to want more independence. Together, they explore dignity of risk, trauma-informed support, and person-centered planning. Parents will learn how to gradually shift from protector to partner, helping their child build confidence, self-advocacy skills, and a fulfilling adult life without losing sight of health and safety.

Session times are placeholders for now. Final times will be set once we confirm clinician schedules.
