Examples of Workshops Designed for Specific Audiences:
Seeing Beyond the Surface: The Relation Between Attachment and Trauma in Children and Adolescents
Workshop Description: Understanding the impact and resulting needs due to attachment difficulties, both on a psychological and neurological level, is critical in moving toward working with effective interventions to ameliorate the distress of trauma in the lives of children and adolescents. This workshop provides an overview of attachment, trauma, the intersection between the two and effective treatment approaches in working with children and adolescents who have experienced attachment disruption and trauma in their lives.
The Heart of the Matter: Fostering Social-Emotional Health in Early Childhood
Workshop Description: Good social-emotional health is not only vital to healthy child development but greatly influences a child's ability to learn and engage in the world in a meaningful way. This workshop will explore the foundation for good social-emotional health, what good social-emotional health looks like in early childhood, and what parents and other caregivers can do to continue to promote good social-emotional health.
Building Resiliency: Promoting Practices into Community Services Programming
We have learned a great deal from recent United Way of the Lower Mainland funded research on middle childhood. By extending the findings from the research, this presentation will listen to what children had to tell us and outline ways to translate this into community-based practices. By keeping a resiliency and asset building focus, community agencies are well-positioned to create programs, practices and services that help our children in middle childhood gain the skills and confidence they need as they move into adolescence.
Resiliency and Attachment in Clinical Practice
At the heart of resiliency is the ability to form relations with others in our environments. Through over five decades of research, we have learned that children, youth and adults who have strong relationships have the ability to overcome adversity. This workshop will provide an overview of attachment and resiliency and how these two frameworks can be embedded into clinical practice.
