Early Bird Registration for Creating Trauma-Sensitive Schools Conference Ends Friday

 

Now is the best time to get the lowest registration price for the 2nd Annual Creating Trauma-Sensitive Schools Conference, hosted by the Attachment & Trauma Network,  Slated for February 17-19, 2019 at the Washington Hilton, this conference includes 75 workshops from experts in trauma-informed education across the country and around the world.  Early bird pricing of $395 ends at midnight Friday, November 30. Here's the registration link. Those needing to use purchase orders can contact conference@attachtrauma.org for more information.

This year's keynote speaker is Dr. Mona Johnson who is going Fostering Professional Resilience and Social-Emotional Wellness.  Other special guests include Dr. Allison Jackson and Jim Sporleder.

New this year are several "deep dive" sessions - 3-hour workshops that allow attendees to explore topics in greater depth.  And there's a Self-Care Track where attendees will be able to practice wellness strategies.

"This year we're also categorizing our workshops as beginner and advanced, which is something last year's attendees had asked for, " explains Dr. Melissa Sadin, Director of ATN's Creating Trauma-Sensitive Schools program.  "Some attendees need the brain science and understanding of ACEs, prevalence and how trauma impacts learning, but others want to go quickly beyond that.  We've built a program that includes workshops for people at all levels and all positions in their systems.  There will be specific classroom strategy workshops, but also details on how to change policies and what administrators can do to foster and maintain a school's trauma-informed culture."

"We're excited about the specific self-care track that allows teachers to not only learn new wellness ideas for themselves, but we know teachers will creatively take this back to their students too," Sadin reports.
