SUMMARY:Creating a Circle of Hope for Women and their Families Living with Addiction\, Stigma\, and Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders (FASD)
DESCRIPTION:This session will focus on how addiction can impact a woman’s health\, family\, children\, and their unborn babies. Research on lifelong cognitive\, neurological\, and behavioral disorders related to prenatal alcohol exposure will be reviewed. Additionally\, research on stigma towards mothers of children that used during their pregnancy will be summarized. Women with this lived experience face on-going stigma and bias\, loss of their children\, and debilitating shame that can place them at high risk for relapse. The focus of the session will be on how education on both addiction and recovery transforms systems of care to reframe both expectations and interventions to improve outcomes for women and their families. Participants will learn about resources for women and their families. \nParticipants will be able to: \n\nList 3 common cognitive or behavioral deficits experienced by people living with an FASD.\nDefine stigma and list one way it is currently acted out by society or systems of care towards women and mothers living with AUD/SUD.\nDiscuss resiliency traits in women and families living with addictions or FASD.\nDescribe resources for women and families living with FASD.\n\nTwo CEs ($10) available through CEBrokers for Florida LMHC\, LMFT\, LCSW\, and Certified Master Social Worker. \nPRESENTER:\nKathleen Mitchell\, MHS\, LCADC\nKathleen T.

SUMMARY:The Difference Between Autism and Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders (FASD)
DESCRIPTION:Wednesday\, June 26\, 2024\, 12-1pm EST / 11-12pm CST / 10-11am MST / 9-10am PST \n1. CE offered through CEBrokers for Florida LCSW\, LMHC\, LMFT\, CMSW \nCost:  $39.00 \nDescription\n\nThis one-hour presentation will discuss the similarities and differences between Autismand Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders (ASD/FASD). Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders(FASD) cover various conditions caused by moms drinking alcohol during pregnancy\,leading to changes in the body and brain. Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is a complex brain-related condition. Some experts think that when moms drink during pregnancy\, it might raise the chances of their child having ASD\, especially if there’s a family history. This review aims to break down the research on the possible connection between FASD and ASD. Studies in this area have given mixed results\, showing both similarities and differences between the two conditions. What’s interesting is that both disorders often get misunderstood or not recognized enough. So\, it’s crucial to look beyond the obvious signs and pay attention to subtler traits and less severe cases. \n\n  \nObjectives: \n\nBetter understanding of similarities and differences between FASD and ASD\nAble to identify at least four similarities/differences in social behaviors in FASD and ASD.\nLearn different teaching methods for working with students with ASD/FASD.\n\n  \nPresented By Kathryn Shea\, LCSW\, FASD United Board MemberOver 35 years of experience in the field

SUMMARY:How Does Grief Manifest in Children?
DESCRIPTION:When a child experiences grief\, their expressions of it may be misunderstood asmisbehavior\, leading to labeling the behavior as “unacceptable” within theirenvironment.

Join us as we explore the diverse ways children demonstrate their grief and discuss how caregivers can respond in supportive ways. \nTakeways: \n\nLearn 3 ways that grief can present itself in each stage of development.\nDiscuss ways to support children when they are displaying grief symptoms.\nDiscuss how appropriate responses to grief can facilitate resilience.\n\nThis training is for Florida residents due to our collaboration with Empath Tidewell Grief Center\, Blue Butterfly \nTwo CEs available through CEBrokers for Florida LMHC\, LMFT\, LCSW\, and Certified Master Social Worker.

SUMMARY:Working with Children with Brain-based Behaviors: A Therapeutic/Sensory Approach
DESCRIPTION:Description: \nThis training showcases a brain-based approach to addressing challenging behaviors developed by neuroscientist\, Dr. Stephen Porges’s work. It is also based on the work of Dr. Serena Wieder and Dr. Stanley Greenspan who developed a model known as DIR (Developmental\, Individual-differences\, and Relationship-based) after conducting research in the late 1970s on infants at high risk for developmental challenges. Many parents and professionals believe that problematic behavior in children should be punished\, increasing the likelihood of poor self-esteem\, depression\, and aggression. The brain-based method employs a more empathic and compassionate approach that has the potential to change lives for the better\, resulting in a more humane way of understanding\, reaching\, and supporting children who struggle. \n\nLearning Objectives:1. Participants will gain knowledge of how challenging behaviors can be brain-based.2. Participants will learn how sensory-processing disorders are frequently the source of challenging behaviors.3. Participants will understand how using a sensory/therapeutic process in mental health sessions can be successful in treating children with neurodevelopmental disorders \nDATES of Course: \nWednesdays\, May 1 & 8\, 2024 \nTime:  12-2pm EST\, 11-1pm CST\, 10-12pm MT\, 9-11am PST \nCost:  $97.00 Early-bird until 4//15\, $127 \nPresented By Kathryn Shea\, LCSW\, FASD United Board Member \n4 CE offered through CEBrokers for Florida LCSW\, LMHC\, LMFT\, CMSW.
