SUMMARY:Grounding & Connection: Creating a Sense of Safety for Foster & Adoptive Youth
DESCRIPTION:When kids feel safe\, they can show up as their better selves. We will consider physical\, emotional\, and social safety as we navigate what that might look like for children. We as parents and professionals can foster routines to help ground young people we care for and work with to help them feel connected with themselves\, others\, and their environment. Mya will offer ideas and approaches to help foster and adoptive kids embody a sense of security and safety. Mya is an inter-cultural adoptee and an Occupational Therapist who supports young clients and adoptive families in her Nature OT practice on California’s Central Coast. \nMya feels incredibly fortunate to be able to combine her love for nature with her almost 20-years clinical experience as a bilingual (Spanish) occupational therapist to create her own Nature OT practice that boosts kids’ physical and mental health. That means she skill-builds with toddlers to teens while exploring in nature in the Central Coast of CA. She supports neurodivergent kids (with ADHD\, Autism\, Sensory difficulties\, and anxiety) and kids that have experienced trauma and adoption. She believes in helping every child discover their own superpowers and feel more confident and grounded to live with greater joy and ease. Partnering with families to offer strategies and creative problem-solving solutions for their children is also essential to the deep impact she has with her young clients and families. When she’s not working\, she loves to move – working out at CrossFit classes or getting outdoors walking with her sweet shih-tzu pup\, her teen sons\, husband\, and friends along any body of water and among trees

SUMMARY:[IN-PERSON] AM SESSION: Exploring Complicated Relationships in Foster and Adoptive Families
DESCRIPTION:This in-person event will be held at Community Memorial Hospital in the Pine Meeting Room: 512 Skyline Boulevard\, Cloquet\, Minnesota 55720 \nIf planning to attend the afternoon session as well\, please register for both sessions. Lunch is provided from 12 – 1pm only.  \nIf capacity limit is reached\, please email edu@fosteradoptmn.org to join the waitlist. \nFoster families claim and then relinquish children they love. Children who are adopted change the families who claim them in permanent ways. Blended families often have foster children\, adopted children and birth children. These children all have different experiences of what being part of a family means. Loyalty\, loss\, anger\, trauma and fear create an extremely difficult living situation for everyone in the family home. In addition\, parents and children navigate the concept of ongoing contact\, wondering who the ‘real’ parent is\, and building a new normal for everyone. Time for Q & A will be included. \nDeena McMahon\, MSW\, LICSW is a family and attachment therapist in private practice.

SUMMARY:Supporting Your Biological Child

Daniela is passionate about serving the entire foster family\, including birth children. \nDaniela is a self-identified “birth kid.” Her parents fostered when she was a child\, and eventually adopted her youngest sibling. Having grown up in a home that fostered and adopted\, Daniela was a temporary sibling to many children. Now\, Daniela and her husband have six children – four through adoption and two by birth. \nWhile Daniela has a variety of experience in social work contexts\, she has spent most of her career working in foster care and adoption. Daniela is currently a therapist at Be Still Counseling and Consulting in Texas. She has developed trainings and resources for parents and professionals\, and has contributed to professional writings on the subject.

SUMMARY:Redefining Resilience
DESCRIPTION:Before it became a popular buzzword\, resilience was an adjective used to describe goldfish or tires\, something that didn’t need much taking care of. Even the dictionary says that resilience is about the “ability to return to the original shape.” Isn’t that a little ridiculous? How can we possibly be expected to return to our original shape when our lives fall apart? Don’t we want to allow ourselves to be altered by disruption\, setbacks or change? Isn’t adaptation—a true change—something to celebrate in a rapidly changing world and workplace? In this talk\, Nora McInerny uses stories from her own life and her podcast to introduce a new definition of resilience\, one that acknowledges the changes we didn’t choose. \nHow are you? Nora McInerny wants to know the truth. As the creator and host of the podcasts “Terrible\, Thanks For Asking” & “It’s Going To Be OK\,” and the TED speaker known for her viral talk\, “We Don’t Move On From Grief\, We Move Forward With It\,” Nora McInerny specializes in making space for emotional honesty and difficult conversations. From her bestselling memoirs and essay collections to her pieces in The New York Times\, TIME magazine and The Washington Post\, Nora’s work regularly touches on topics many would rather not discuss — death\, loss\, illness\, mental health\, trauma and change — with disarming wit and earnest candor.\nDrawing on her personal experiences with grief — Nora lost her husband\, second pregnancy and father within a few weeks of each other — and her years of interviewing people who have lived through their own terrible experiences\, Nora’s unforgettable talks inspire audiences to face and conquer any obstacle — with the strength that comes from knowing that we are not alone.\nThough Nora addresses challenging and uncomfortable topics\, she does so with a light touch. Her disarming humor and wit break down the barriers that often isolate people who are going through adversity and change. Whether Nora is presenting a keynote or participating in moderated Q&A sessions\, she creates interactive one-of-a-kind multimedia presentations tailored to her audience\, giving everyone new tools to help them connect more deeply with themselves and with each other.

SUMMARY:[FosterEd] Making a Difference: Caring for the Infant with Prenatal Exposure to Drugs
DESCRIPTION:Over 300\,000 children in this country per year are delivered to women who have used alcohol\, tobacco\, marijuana\, or opiates and other illicit drugs during pregnancy.  This program will explore factors that impact the newborn from both a medical and a neurobehavioral perspective and provide strategies that parents and caregivers can use to address Neonatal Abstinence Syndrome and associated neurobehavioral difficulties. \nIra J. Chasnoff\, M.D.\, an award-winning author\, researcher and lecturer\, is president of NTI Upstream and a Professor of Clinical Pediatrics at the University of Illinois College of Medicine in Chicago. He is one of the nation’s leading researchers in the field of child development and the effects of environmental factors on the developmental trajectory of children and adolescents.  Dr. Chasnoff’s work encompasses community approaches to the integration of behavioral health services into primary health care\, the schools\, and the other multiple systems that serve children and families. Dr. Chasnoff has served several U.S. presidential administrations on committees and commissions dedicated to organizing and coordinating services for children and families across the nation and developing policies and procedures for addressing the needs of children at risk from prenatal and postnatal trauma.  He also has worked with a wide range of States across the nation and internationally in developing universal outreach and early intervention programs for children and families affected by trauma or substance abuse. \nDr. Chasnoff received his medical degree from the University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio\, which in 1991 awarded him its first Distinguished Alumnus Award.  He is the author of numerous research articles regarding the long-term cognitive\, behavioral\, and learning outcomes of high-risk children\, and his article on racial and social class bias in the health care system has been cited as a landmark study by the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists.   Dr. Chasnoff has authored 15 books\, which have received numerous awards and one of which has been recognized by The Hague International Court. Dr. Chasnoff’s books explore the biological and environmental factors that impact the ultimate development of high-risk children and presents practical strategies for helping children reach their full potential at home and in the classroom. His newest book\, Guided Growth\, has received international acclaim for its in-depth discussion of educational and behavioral interventions for children and teens with Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders and early trauma.   Dr. Chasnoff has been a regular contributor to Psychology Today\, writing about high-risk children and their families.  The recipient of several awards for his work with women\, children\, and families\, Dr. Chasnoff for several years has been selected by a poll of physicians across the nation for listing in America’s Best Doctors\, cited for his ability to translate complex medical and psychosocial issues into relevant policy that guides the delivery of quality services.   Dr. Chasnoff has been active in establishing comprehensive family intervention programs for children in Australia\, Denmark\, Portugal\, Canada\, Vietnam\, the former Soviet Union\, and across the United States and has lectured on this topic around the world.
