SUMMARY:RECORDING OF The Big 3: Lying\, Stealing and Raging (available 7/27/24-7/26/25)
DESCRIPTION:This is a special opportunity to view the recording at your convenience\, and available for purchase and viewing until July 24\, 2025. \nChildren and adolescents who have experienced trauma have unique brain wiring and are often at a mixture of developmental ages.  Typical consequence-based behavioral strategies are often not effective and can lead to further trauma and impact the relationship between the adults and children/adolescents.  Participants will learn new approaches to use with children and adolescents who have trauma histories which will help you to understand them better and improve communication and relationships.  The strategies we will cover are recommended for in-utero trauma such as FASD and also for trauma they may have experienced after birth.  We will specifically cover the Big 3; lying\, stealing and raging. \nPresented by: Barb Clark \nBarb Clark\, Director of Training at Families Rising (FKA NACAC)\, is a parent to five adult children\, one of who is diagnosed with Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder. She is an advocate for learning from her own mistakes to guide others in avoiding similar pitfalls. With a background in Youth Development from the University of Minnesota\, Barb leverages humor and real-life experiences to challenge traditional strategies and promote out-of-the-box thinking for professionals and caregivers. Committed to improving the lives of individuals affected by prenatal exposure to substances and trauma\, Barb specializes in trauma-responsive strategies and her personal passion\, Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders (FASD). Her dedication stems from her belief that she’s learned more from her children than she ever did in college. \nCost:  $27.00 to view the recording \nFor parents\, caregivers\, and professionals. \n  \n

SUMMARY:Alcohol Use and Pregnancy: The Importance of Screening and Brief Intervention during Pregnancy
DESCRIPTION:Wednesday\, July 16\, 2025\, from 11:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. EST \nMissed chances\, lasting impact: Learn how closing the gap in prenatal alcohol screening can transform care for mothers and babies—practical tools\, powerful outcomes. \n  \nDESCRIPTION:\nDespite recommendations for universal alcohol screening\, a recent CDC study found that approximately 20% of pregnant patients were not screened for alcohol use at their last visit to a primary health care provider\, and only 16% who were screened were advised by a health care provider to quit drinking or reduce their alcohol use. This gap between screening and brief intervention indicates missed opportunities to reduce alcohol use during pregnancy. This webinar will present the need for prenatal alcohol exposure screening and brief intervention\, and offer guidance on practical implementation. Learn how prenatal alcohol exposure impacts your practice\, and how you can improve the quality of care and outcomes for mothers and infants in your care. \nPRESENTER:\nKentra Gludt\, MPH\, Director of National Programs at Proof Alliance\nKendra Gludt is the Director of National Programs at Proof Alliance and has a master’s degree in public health.

SUMMARY:Growing with Care: FASD in Early Learning Environments (2CEs)
DESCRIPTION:Thursday\, July 31\, 2025\, from 1:00 pm – 3:00 pm EST / 12 pm – 2 pm CT.Cost:  FREE\, $8 for CLEs \nGrowing with Care: FASD in Early Learning Environments \nDESCRIPTION: \nThis training introduces participants to Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder (FASD) and its complex effects on young children. Through real-life examples and practical strategies\, we’ll explore how FASD impacts learning\, behavior\, and social-emotional development and how early childhood environments can be adapted to better meet the needs of affected children. With a strong focus on understanding\, compassion\, and inclusion\, this session empowers participants to shift from managing behaviors to supporting brain-based needs.FASD is often misunderstood\, yet it affects more children than many other developmental disorders. In early learning settings\, children with FASD may struggle with behaviors that are misinterpreted asoppositional or inattentive\, when in reality\, they are signals of an underlying brain-based disability. Bygaining a deeper understanding and adopting proven strategies\, professionals can improve classroom dynamics\, build stronger relationships\, and promote better long-term outcomes for children with FASD. Creating environments that work with a child’s brain rather than against it is not only possible\, it’s essential. \nThe Florida Center for Early Childhood operates the only FASD Diagnostic Clinics in the State of Florida\, now located in Sarasota\, Orlando\, and Pensacola. \nTakeaways: \n\nA clear understanding of what FASD is and how it develops\nInsight into the unique ways FASD may present in toddlers and preschoolers\nTools for recognizing and responding to the learning\, sensory\, and social-emotional needs of children with FASD\nStrategies for creating predictable\, trauma-informed environments that reduce triggers and support regulation\nWays to engage families and collaborate across systems for better outcomes\n\nCE Information: 2.
