Please use this link to reserve your spot at the workshop: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/trauma-informed-care-concepts-and-applications-tickets-637287874187 The impact of trauma is far reaching and affects every aspect of health. By implementing a trauma-informed care approach, both staff and clients work together in a framework of wellness that produces improved outcomes in all areas of care. A culture of trauma-informed care can improve employee satisfaction and engagement while reducing burnout and turnover. This interactive training will review the fundamentals of trauma and factors that can increase the likelihood of trauma, including the social determinants of health (lack of access to services, poverty, etc.) The course content will also inform participants on how to create a safe environment conducive for both client and staff mental health well-being and integrate trauma-informed care principles into their day-to-day practice in a variety of settings. Part one of the training will focus on the many facets of trauma and the connection to the social determinants of health (SDOH). Parts two and three will focus on the recognition of trauma when it enters the room with clients, strategies to create a trauma-informed culture, and strategies to work with the trauma response.

16. Just STOP! How Decluttering Your Practices Can Help You Be Proactive Again

Program: School Improvement

Dates: 7/20/2023

Meeting Times: 8:00 AM - 3:00 PM

Location: Kart Rite Conference Center, Monitcello NY

Research shows that the workload of principals has increased over the last two decades (NASSP, LPI). What this means is that leaders and teachers are at risk of being spread too thin and are constantly being reactive rather than proactive. In this presentation, Peter DeWitt will focus on decluttering ineffective practices, understanding how we got there in the first place, and help participants find a balance between implementation and de-implementation. By the end of this session participants will be able to:

• Define de-implementation.

• Identify how our mindsets force us to contribute to our own workload.

• Define what constitutes low value practices.

• Differentiate between how to declutter formally and informally.

• Decide what they can replace or reduce.

• Engage in the process of decluttering and getting their lives back and finding the joy in teaching, learning and leading.

***The cost of the workshop will be NO MORE THAN $400 per person, lunch included. Participants who drop their registration after July 12 will be charged full price.***
