SUMMARY:How to Be Welcoming to LGBTQ+ Youth\, with an Emphasis on the "T"
DESCRIPTION:PLEASE NOTE: To receive a certificate of attendance for the live webinar\, attendees must register individually\, attend the entire training\, and watch from their own device to ensure proper tracking \nIn the last two decades\, many people have become far more willing to accept and act as allies for people who identify as LGBTQ+ (lesbian\, gay\, bisexual\, transgender\, queer/questioning and inclusive of identities that don’t always have an alphabet letter).  Underlying this is the idea that humans—however they may identify—universally have the right to live their lives honestly and with authenticity. Still\, of the letters in the “LGBTQ+ alphabet” it is the Ts” (transgender persons)  and those who identify as nonbinary (e.g. who don’t identify as male or female\, but rather simply as “human”) who more often face unique challenges relative to personal relationships\, public interactions\, and many other things that non-transgender  persons (the technical phrase is “cisgender”) take for granted.  What does it mean to be “trans” or nonbinary? In the workplace\, what can HR professionals do to make these identifying team members welcomed and accepted? What actions or words should they avoid? How does “passing” or not “passing” or the absence of legal rights in many states play into their daily life? And what about team members who aren’t accepting of these folks? Join national speaker\, diversity consultant and author Ellen “Ellie” Krug as she shares what it means to be trans or nonbinary and offers tips and advice on how to be inclusive toward anyone who so identifies. Come with questions! \n  \n\nIn 2009\, when she was a civil trial attorney in Cedar Rapids with 100+ trials\, Ellen (Ellie) Krug transitioned from male to female; she later became one of the few attorneys nationally to try jury cases in separate genders. The author of Getting to Ellen: A Memoir about Love\, Honesty and Gender Change (2013)\, Ellie has trained on diversity and inclusion to court systems\, law firms\, Fortune 100 corporations\, and colleges/universities on more than 1000 occasions. A hopeless idealist\, Ellie has presented her inclusivity training\, Gray Area Thinking®\, across the country. Ellie is the recipient of a number of awards and recognition\, including the 2023 Stonewall Award from the American Bar Association. She is also a columnist for Minnesota Women’s Press and a weekly radio host on AM950 radio with a show aimed at advocating for transgender and gender variant humans and anyone who is considered “Other.” Her monthly e-newsletter\, The Ripple\, reaches 9000+ readers and can be found at www.elliekrug.com. In November 2022\, Ellie was elected to the school board for her local school district.

SUMMARY:Using Reflective Foster Parenting to Understand the Mind of the Child with Anger and Aggression
DESCRIPTION:PLEASE NOTE: To receive a certificate of attendance for the live webinar\, attendees must register individually\, attend the entire training\, and watch from their own device to ensure proper tracking. \nThe importance of reflecting on the possible thoughts\, feelings\, and intentions related to children’s behavior and behavior problems will be discussed. Being a reflective parent involves:\n1. Being a keen observer of children’s actions;\n2. Helping them to sort out the jumbled thoughts\, feelings\, and intentions related to their behavior; and\n3. Encouraging children to vocalize thoughts\, feelings\, and needs instead of resorting to acting out behavior. \nWe will discuss many examples and welcome questions. \nIf interested\, register for Dr. Delaney’s May webinar\, Reflective Foster Parenting 101: Understanding the Mind of the Child with Challenging Behaviors here. \n\nDr. Richard J. Delaney is an internationally known speaker and trainer. He has a Ph.D. in clinical psychology from Loyola University of Chicago. Dr. Delaney spent four decades focused on the treatment of children in the child welfare system. Currently\, he is the co-developer and principal investigator of FosterParentCollege.com.
