Agenda

9:00 Registration and Coffee

9:15 Opening Remarks

9:30 - 12:30 Keynote Presentation

Toxic Stress in Childhood and How to Heal from Adversity : Renee Hettich, LMSW, Adoptive and Foster Family Coalition of New York

  • This presentation will engage practitioners of all skill levels in learning about trauma-responsive care for children from adversity. Participants will explore the impact of trauma and toxic stress on a child’s developing mind, reframe children’s behavior using a trauma-responsive and brain-based analysis, and learn techniques that promote neuroplasticity and neurogenesis so to heal children from traumatic histories. Renee not only has decades of professional experience, but has also been parenting children with adverse histories for almost 25 years as a foster, adoptive, and kinship parent. Her unique perspective will provide valuable insight into this topic.

12:30 - 1:30 Lunch provided

1:30 - 4:30 Breakout Workshops

Vicarious Trauma and Self-Care: Renee Hettich, LMSW, Adoptive and Foster Family Coalition of New York

  • All practitioners (new and experienced) are at risk for vicarious trauma and compassion fatigue. This workshop will give individuals an opportunity to self-reflect and recognize the impact their clients’ traumas have on them (vicarious trauma). Participants will also develop strategies to prevent vicarious trauma and design a self-care plan to mitigate the impact of compassion fatigue. Learners will be engaged through lecture and case examples, but most importantly in personal reflection and the development of an individualized plan for the prevention of vicarious trauma and compassion fatigue.

Working Across Cultures: Lauren Ford, LMSW, SATRI at Northern Rivers Family of Services

  • This workshop will explore approaches that can be used for effectively communicating, listening, and developing an awareness of clients from different cultures and diverse backgrounds. Utilizing cross-cultural perspectives, participants will explore diversity within a community and specific populations. A particular focus on the needs of refugee and other immigrant populations will be covered.
