SUMMARY:Healing the Helping Professional: The Unfinished Business of Childhood
DESCRIPTION:This engaging and reflective workshop explores how unresolved childhood experiences can quietly shape our professional practice. Participants will examine common adaptations developed in response to early adversity\, including over-functioning\, people-pleasing\, perfectionism\, hypervigilance\, emotional distancing\, and the compulsion to rescue others. Rather than viewing these patterns as personal flaws\, participants will learn to understand them as adaptive survival strategies that can both strengthen and complicate their work.

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.
