Join Kim and Hand in Hand for the second part of a transformative learning experience. This is a follow-up on course to the Trauma-Sensitive Practice course held in October 2024. As professionals, our effectiveness in supporting others is maximized when we understand how personal trauma experiences influence overall functioning and healing processes. Whether we work in therapy, education, social work, child protection, or business, and whether we are counselors, police officers, or foster parents, this mental health workshop will help us develop new skills to work mindfully and effectively with others. The added benefit is that we are likely to gain a deeper understanding of ourselves as well.

This immersive, live-online workshop, spanning five days (3 hours per day), illuminates the science and practice of regulation. Participants will explore the intersection of Polyvagal Theory, interoception, and emotional integration—gaining practical tools to enhance co-regulation, relationships, resilience, and functional outcomes.

Living with trauma is a universal experience. Talking about mental health and emotional pain used to be taboo – but no longer. Thankfully and appropriately, trauma-sensitive practice is becoming an increasingly common topic within forward-thinking organizations world-wide. This is essential if we want the individual people, we serve to be receiving the most effective levels of support needed for them to thrive.

Movement challenges are the functional limitations most often neglected in the treatment of children with ASD. Current motor control literature and neurobiological research highlight the motor systems impairments in the increasing prevalence of the ASD diagnosis. Neuro-Developmental Treatment (NDT) is a frame of reference that guides clinicians in the analysis and treatment of posture and movement. This cutting-edge workshop will apply NDT principals, assessment, and intervention in treating the movement challenges of children on the spectrum. Comparing and contrasting between ASD compensatory motor patterns and typical motor development will be emphasized, offering a foundation for the facilitation of new motor learning through lecture, videotape analysis and virtual lab. This on-demand online learning experience will be available for viewing until August 31, 2025.
