SUMMARY:Part 2: A Brain-First Approach to Parenting
DESCRIPTION:Many children who have experienced prenatal or postnatal stressors such as trauma\, alcohol\, and drug exposure also have challenging behavioral symptoms\, requiring support from their parents and caregivers that is often more intensive than “typical” parenting. Parents and caregivers are then required to shift their parenting from a traditional behavioral lens to one that is focused on their child’s unique neurobiology. This workshop will teach participants how parents and caregivers can set themselves up for success as it relates to the care of their child\, so as to avoid burnout and compassion fatigue\, so they can thrive in their parent experience\, feeling more resilient over time. \nEileen Devine is a licensed clinical social worker and founder of Brain First Parenting. She lives in Portland\, Oregon with her husband and two teenage children\, one of whom lives with FASD. She has over 20 years of clinical experience and for the last ten of those years\, has focused solely on supporting parents who have kids with neurobehavioral conditions. In addition to her clinical work with parents\, she facilitates dozens of workshops and trainings each year for parents\, teachers\, and mental health professionals and is a trainer for the Center for Adoption Support and Education’s (C.A.S.E.) accredited Training for Adoption Competency (TAC) Program\, where she instructs other clinicians across the state of Oregon on what it means to be an adoption and foster competent therapist.

SUMMARY:Part 1: A Brain-First Approach to Parenting
DESCRIPTION:Neuroscience research underscores the influence of environmental factors\, teratogens\, and prenatal or postnatal stressors such as trauma\, alcohol\, and drug exposure on brain development. Many children impacted by these factors also face behavioral struggles. Why do traditional parenting techniques often fall short for such children and what alternative strategies can parents use to effectively support their children? Part one of this workshop will teach participants how to apply a brain-first approach to parenting children who have FASD and other neurobehavioral conditions. Through this lens\, behaviors are redefined and solutions are aligned with research findings\, offering new insights into supporting affected children more successfully. \nEileen Devine is a licensed clinical social worker and founder of Brain First Parenting. She lives in Portland\, Oregon with her husband and two teenage children\, one of whom lives with FASD. She has over 20 years of clinical experience and for the last ten of those years\, has focused solely on supporting parents who have kids with neurobehavioral conditions. In addition to her clinical work with parents\, she facilitates dozens of workshops and trainings each year for parents\, teachers\, and mental health professionals and is a trainer for the Center for Adoption Support and Education’s (C.A.S.E.) accredited Training for Adoption Competency (TAC) Program\, where she instructs other clinicians across the state of Oregon on what it means to be an adoption and foster competent therapist.

SUMMARY:[Spring Summit] Meeting Belonging Needs as a Supportive Adult
DESCRIPTION:“We all are born into the world looking for someone looking for us\, and we remain in this mode of searching for the rest of our lives.” – Dr. Curt Thompson \nBelonging is a basic human need that is essential for every person\, regardless of age or background. However\, children who have experienced traumatic or adverse events may find it harder to attain this need than others. As adults who have stepped up to care for and help them grow\, it is important to ensure that their trauma does not define their future. Did you know that the primary sources of belonging for youth are family\, school\, and community\, in that order? If you serve\, connect\, or care for youth in any 3 of those spaces\, then this webinar will be for you. We will cover foundational concepts such as trauma\, belonging\, ACEs\, and more. We will explore the link between trauma and a lack of belonging. And most importantly\, we will uncover\, brainstorm\, and discuss strategies for fostering a sense of belonging in your particular role and assisting those you serve in reaching their full potential. \nGaelin Elmore is a dynamic and nationally sought-after keynote speaker\, trainer\, and thought leader. He works with organizations and people who want to help children overcome trauma and unleash their potential through the implementation of belonging. Gaelin’s passion and energy for his work stems from his heart for justice\, and his own lived experience. Gaelin has spent most of his life\, and his entire childhood\, on a journey to find the places in which he belonged. That journey led Gaelin to the National Football League\, and now to stages and board rooms all across the country\, aiming to inspire\, encourage\, and equip others to think differently about their work and its long-term impact on others. Gaelin now lives in Eden Prairie\, MN\, where he gets to experience the purest form of belonging as a husband to his wife\, Micaela\, and dad to their two daughters\, Laniah and Tatum.
