SUMMARY:Beyond the Behavior: Understanding FASD Through a Brain-Based Lens
DESCRIPTION:In this 90-minute workshop\, parents\, caregivers\, and professionals will learn to look beyond the behavior and recognize challenging behaviors as possible symptoms of a brain and nervous system working differently. Through a practical\, neuroscience-informed lens\, participants will explore why traditional behavior-based approaches are often ineffective for individuals with FASD and how shifting from “How do we get this person to behave?” to “What does this person’s brain need in order to be successful?” can lead to more compassionate\, meaningful\, and effective support.

SUMMARY:CARES in Action: Practical Music Strategies for the Moments that Matter Most

This engaging workshop equips foster\, adoptive\, and kinship caregivers with practical music-based strategies they can use during transitions\, challenging routines\, emotional escalation\, and recovery after difficult moments. Grounded in the CARES framework\, participants will learn simple interventions that support regulation\, strengthen relationships\, and increase confidence in responding to real-life situations at home.
