Relationships, Let's Dive Deeper! Understanding the Complexities of the Individual Neurodevelopmental Needs of Students and Staff to Inform Our Practices
Susan Andrien, LMFT and Angela Harris, LCSW
Through the lens of Multi-Tiered Systems of Support (MTSS) participants will be introduced to a framework that supports multi-disciplinary teams to understand the neurodevelopmental needs of students impacted by developmental trauma. We will explore the nuances of a relational approach that is informed by Dr. Bruce Perry’s Neurosequential Model (NMT). We will take an in depth look at how varied staff roles can support students through understanding the universal and individual neurodevelopmental needs of students and staff. This training is intended to inform and enhance current practices of educators. Tickets available for in-person or virtually via Zoom.
Keynote Presentations
Life in Limbo
David White, MBA, LMSW
Life in Limbo is experiential learning at its best, as you step into the shoes of a child entering foster care, their parent temporarily losing custody, or their caregiver, trying to bring stability. Chaos moves to compassion and to great ideas that improve the state of foster care for all children.
Relational Doses, The Foundation of Hope
Susan Andrien, LMFT and Angela Harris, LCSW
Enhance your “Why?” by reflecting upon your personal relational experiences, identifying your individual relational web and the turning points that made an impact on who you are today.
