Addressing Childhood Traumatic Stress in Schools
ID: 1048WEBChildhood trauma is a common occurrence in our society that can have a lasting impact on the psychological wellbeing of children. Our schools particularly in urban settings are tasked with instructing our students in the core subjects while providing a safe and effective environment in which students can achieve their fullest potential. As educators, mental health professionals and administrators we are often left with an arduous task of instructing children who do not come to school equipped and ready to learn. Too often we blame the parents for our students’ difficulties and failures, but we fail to recognize the role that trauma plays on our students and often the parents’ lives, which deeply affects school preparedness. Understanding how complex trauma manifests itself in the classroom and using a preventive approach rather than reactive can help these students heal and begin to achieve their potential.

Daniel Siegel, MD: Interpersonal Neurobiology: The Social Brain and the Embodied Relational Mind

Attendees leave a presentation given by Dr. Siegel feeling enlightened and energized.
Interpersonal Neurobiology: The Social Brain and the Embodied Relational Mind This presentation will provide an overview of the field of Interpersonal Neurobiology and its view of the mind as an embodied and relational process that regulates the flow of energy and information. This perspective of a mind, broader than the brain and bigger than the body, will be contrasted to studies of neuroscience, and in particular to views of the social brain. Is mind simply an “output of brain firing” as is so often stated? Or is the mind and its several facets of subjective experience, consciousness, and information processing actually part of a system that includes the brain in the head, but extends far beyond that skull-encased organ of the body?

Learning how to support people after a loss enables them to live emotionally healthy, meaningful and productive lives. This workshop provides an understanding of the impact of loss on children and youth and adults. Attendees will learn the definitions and interrelatedness of loss, grief, mourning and resilience. The dominant culture encourages winning and success, but doesn’t focus on learning how to lose. This essential life skill can be learned as social workers and other professionals provide support to those who are grieving. This webinar will explore the connection between grief and shame as well as differing cultural "grief beliefs" after a loss. While this webinar will focus primarily on how to help people cope with a loss due to death, these concepts are transferable to all types of loss.

The Neurobiology of Trauma/PTSD-WEB
ID: 5235WEBThe overall goal of this webinar is for practitioners to understand that the development of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) is not merely a psychosocial phenomenon and to be better able to provide treatment interventions based on changes in the nervous system. PTSD has been found to be prevalent, but it is important to study PTSD to understand why some individuals develop the disorder and others, also exposed to specific traumatic events, do not. Studying the symptomology of PTSD, as it relates to possible neural mechanisms, may provide some insight toward answering these questions. By the end of this workshop, you will be able to: list the three general categories of symptoms exhibited by individuals with PTSD; describe the role of the limbic system in the production of memory dysfunction in traumatized individuals; understand how the hypothalamus and pituitary gland are involved in the fight or flight response; and the benefits and side-effects of the most common pharmacological agents used to treat PTSD/Trauma.
