Day 1 (Infant Mental Health) Keynote Presentation "Children with Incarcerated Parents" - Julie Poehlmann-Tynan, PhD 9:00am - 10:00am Millions of children experience the incarceration of a parent each year in the United States. Especially when children are very young, parental incarceration has implications for the child's health and well-being and exposure to additional adversity. This presentation will provide information about the context of parental incarceration, impacts on infants/toddlers/preschoolers, and what professionals can do to help. BREAK 10:00 - 10:15 am "Tales from the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit: Impact of Pediatric Medical Traumatic Stress on Infants and Their Families" - Marian Williams, PhD 10:15 am - 11:45am Starting life in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) is profoundly stressful for infants, parents, and the whole family. This presentation will describe the impacts on infants and their families of hospitalization early in life, protective factors that increase resiliency in the face of pediatric medical traumatic stress, and considerations for educators, mental health professionals, and early intervention providers when working with children who were exposed to early medical trauma. Videos of mothers whose child had a NICU stay will illustrate experiences from the family perspective. LUNCH BREAK 11:45am - 1:00pm "The Intersection of Race and Trauma: Its Impact on Children and Families" - Dr. Rosemarie Allen 1:00 pm - 2:30 pm This workshop will promote an understanding of race and trauma. Racial trauma impacts families of color in different ways. Participants will define implicit bias and how it impacts the perceptions, decisions, and behaviors toward others. Microaggressions will be presented as the manifestation of implicit bias and historical/racial trauma will be discussed to develop a deeper understanding of the impact of trauma on communities of color. BREAK 2:30 - 2:45 pm "Trauma Informed Parenting" - Jennifer Tackitt-Dorfmeyer 2:45 pm - 4:15 pm This training is a continuation of trauma informed care with concrete examples for caregivers on “how to” become a trauma informed caregiver. Participants will review the following objectives: -Recognize the high prevalence of traumatic experiences in the lives of children involved in the child welfare and juvenile justice systems -Understand the impact of trauma on a child’s behavior, development, relationships, and survival strategies -Understand how to create a safe home environment for children who have experienced trauma, by actively planning for safety and managing safety risks -Be able to identify strategies for providing structure, routine and discipline that “mirror” the child’s needs, abilities and developmental level -Understand how to build genuine relationships with youth who have experienced trauma -Understand how to foster positive youth development by leveraging interests, building on strengths, and maximizing protective factors Day 2 (Early Childhood Mental Health) Keynote Presentation - "Because" - Rachel Giannini 9:00 - 10:00 am We all have a “because” moment, the reasons our paths called us to become educators and advocates. Through a collection of moving stories, participants are encouraged to reflect on their own “because” moment. BREAK 10:00 - 10:15 am "Unpacking the Suitcase: Using Our Past Attachment History to Become Better Parents" - Kate Creason 10:15 - 11:45 am When we become parents, we carry our own invisible suitcase of past parenting experiences with us. Included in our suitcase are our own experiences as children, our perceptions of our parents, and other models of parenting throughout our lives. As we parent, we take what we have packed away and bring it out to try on in our new families. Sometimes, it fits and works perfectly. Sometimes, it feels familiar, but not how we wanted parenting to be. This workshop examines the styles of attachment that we experienced as children and how it relates to our attachment styles as parents today. This workshop will require self-reflection and include action steps for all backgrounds for intentional parenting for healthy attachment. LUNCH BREAK 11:45 am - 1:00 pm "Understanding & Responding to Behavior through the Lens of Trauma, Stress, & Self-Regulation in Early Childhood" - Christy Gauss & Diane Pike 1:00 - 2:30 pm This presentation will begin by outlining healthy early childhood brain development and defining trauma and behavior as a function of the stress-response. Part of this discussion will focus on the importance of adult-child co-regulation and the need to engage in meaningful self-care. Multiple strategies to support the development of both adult and child self-regulation skills will be shared. BREAK 2:30 - 2:45 pm "Developing Trauma-Informed Providers: Creating Learning Environments that Foster Equity, Resiliency, and Asset-Based Approaches" - Megan Purcell, PhD. 2:45 pm - 3:30 pm Providers and care givers need to have a strong understanding of how trauma impacts the development of children, now more than ever. This presentation will be grounded in how, through in-service and preservice professional development, providers can develop their knowledge and skills around trauma informed practices. What will these skills look like in practice? Those of us that provide PD must intentionally support individual growth so that providers develop their own resiliency skills as well as those of the children they care for.
