Working with Young Children and their Parents in Child Welfare who are Affected by Trauma and Substance Use
Presented by Nicole Roskens, MC, LPC

Friday, March 29, 2024
9:30AM – 12:30pm

Tempe Library
3500 S. Rural Road, Tempe, AZ
Community Connections room

Approximately 60%-70% of all substantiated child welfare cases and 80% or more of parents whose children are in foster care nationally have substance use disorders which is associated with higher rates of child re-victimization, greater likelihood of out-of-home placement, longer stays in care and higher rates of termination of parental rights. Many parents involved in child welfare also have their own trauma history which often has a high correlation with substance abuse. This workshop will discuss the effects of trauma and parental substance abuse on the parent child relationship, how trauma and substance abuse effects a parent's participation and engagement in services, and the effectiveness of evidence-based interventions with young children and their parents with trauma and substance use. This presentation will focus on Fraiberg's first cases to illustrate key lessons. This training will address competencies required for ITMHCA Endorsement for Culturally Sensitive, Relationship Focused Practice Promoting Infant Mental Health.

The cost is $50 for members and $65 for non-members

Parent-Child Relationship Considerations with Young Children with Atypical Development or Cognitive Delays
Presented by Shawna McKee, MSC, LPC

Friday, April 19, 2024
9:00AM – Noon

Casa de los Niños

You bought a ticket to Rome, planned the trip, booked your flight, signed up for tours, booked accommodations, got your passport, bought books about Rome, and did everything you could to prepare for your trip. On the day of the trip, you go to the airport, check your luggage, go through security to get to your gate, and board your flight. 10 hours later, your plane lands, but not in Rome; you landed in Antarctica! Now, what do you do? This is how many parents feel when they learn their child has developmental/ cognitive delays. The parents quickly learn that everything they planned for and prepared for will not work. In this presentation, you will learn how to support parents in navigating this new adventure. For parents with children in the birth to five age range, this means adjusting their expectations about their child's development, relationships, and other changes. Participants will learn more about how to support and advocate for these families and help them begin to imagine what life might look like going forward.
