3 Thursday, November 8 9:00 am to 4:45 pm Breakout Sessions (select one) Trauma Informed Supervision Dave Paxton, LISW-S, Chief Clinical Officer, The Village Network Trauma Informed Care isn t just for our children and families. While incorporating concepts from a trauma informed care framework into its clinical services, The Village Network has learned that these same concepts, if applied correctly, can improve one s supervision and management skills. This training offers attendees the opportunity to learn about the findings from the neurosciences as framed by the NMT (Neurosequential Model of Therapeutics) and SCARF (Safety, Certainty, Autonomy, Relatedness, and Fairness) Model. The SCARF Model is a summary of important discoveries from neuroscience about the way people interact in the work place. Techniques to mitigate the impact of stress on organization culture and management will also be explored. The symptoms of secondary Trauma as well as ways to avoid S.T. will be presented. 1. Define trauma informed care and its 5 core values. 2. Understand the implications of the parallel process. 3. Understand the importance of organizational culture to the establishment of a trauma informed care organization. 4. Learn core concepts from the Neurosciences in relation to providing trauma informed supervision. 5. Be introduced to the SCARF Model of supervision. 6. Define secondary trauma and steps to avoid its impact. Raising Adult Resilience with Conscious Discipline Renee Sutherland, MSW, LISW, Certified Conscious Discipline Instructor Adult resilience is essential for effectively dealing with the daily stressors that come our way in the increasingly complex world of Head Start. It s especially important for those working with children, families and staff who have experienced trauma to be aware and learn how to maintain and increase their own resilience so to avoid burn out and health problems, and to increase their effectiveness on the job. In this highly interactive training, participants will learn helpful and practical strategies that will increase their personal resilience by utilizing the seven Powers of Conscious Discipline. This session will be especially beneficial for individuals familiar with Conscious Discipline who want to apply the approach at an organizational level to support peer and supervisory relationships. 1. Identify key components of personal resilience. 2. Analyze your "Dimensions" of Resilience. 3. Identify your personal "brain states". 4. Identify key components of each of the Seven Skills of Conscious Discipline. 5. Apply each of the Seven Skills of Conscious Discipline to peer and supervisory relationships.

4 Friday, November 9 9:00 am to 12:00 pm General Session Boundaries and Communication Techniques for Supervisors Jennifer Haywood, MSW, LISW-S Motivational interviewing is a method that helps people resolve ambivalent feelings and insecurities to find the internal motivation they need to make a change. It is a practical, empathetic, and short-term process that takes into consideration how difficult it is to make life changes. This training will go over evidenced based motivational interviewing techniques and boundary setting for supervisors in helping professions. Participants will explore tools they can use to engage staff in a helpful way and to encourage a culture of health and wellness in the workplace. 1. Identify strategies to engage with others in a motivational interviewing style specific to supervisors in a helping profession. 2. Identify keys to healthy boundary setting in the workplace. 3.
