Trauma Informed Care in School Settings: Removing Shame. Restoring Hope. Reducing Isolation.
Featuring: Jackie Trussell, LCSW
When: 8:30am-12:00pm (registration starts at 8:00)
Purpose
Our schools serve many students with histories of traumatic life experiences. As educators and mental health professionals it is imperative that we recognize the potential impacts of trauma on the development, learning, and response to treatment in our students. We understand that the purpose of Trauma Informed Care is to promote resiliency, health and wellness for those who have experienced trauma and to create a minimum standard of care in addressing the impact of trauma. This training will focus on strategies and interventions that facilitate an understanding in recognizing the signs and behaviors associated with trauma.

suicideTALK
Featuring: Monica Parmley, LCSW
When: 1:00pm – 4:30pm (registration starts at 12:30pm)
Purpose
suicideTALK is a 3-hour workshop that invites interested community members to become more aware of suicide prevention opportunities in their community. Dealing openly with the stigma around suicide, this exploration focuses upon the question, “Should we talk about suicide?” As a suicideTALK-informed session member, you will be better able to:
• understand how personal and community beliefs about suicide affect suicide stigma and safety
• appreciate how the steps taught in suicideTALK can be used to help prevent suicide;
• choose among ways to help protect, preserve and promote life in a suicide-safer community.
• identify additional resources and training opportunities to foster more in-depth knowledge of suicide prevention and intervention
