SUMMARY:How Trauma Impacts Young Children
DESCRIPTION:Children’s lives are directly impacted by exposure to traumatic events. By using a diversity\, equity\, inclusion\, and belonging (DEIB) lens\, we can consider how these traumas are felt unequally across the diverse communities that childcare providers serve. We will examine trauma and resilience\, screening tools\, look at the research on the impacts of trauma\, review a case study\, and consider the ongoing traumatic impacts of COVID. \nWe will consider the important roles that childcare providers play in recognizing the signs of traumatic exposure\, promoting infant mental health\, supporting young children and their families\, and creating caregiving environments that support resilience. Understanding the ways that individual’s family history\, cultural background\, language\, home environment\, community supports\, and heredity play in their development\, resilience\, and response to trauma will support providers in understanding the strengths of the children and families they serve. \nMust attend both sessions to receive credit \nTrainer: Cheryl Joseph\, Adjunct Professor\, Oakton Community College \nAudience: All Providers \n6.5 Training Hours; Level of Learning: Intermediate \nFee: Free Training

SUMMARY:Peaceful Resolutions: Conflict to Collaboration

Participants will learn to express concerns without blame\, listen to try to understand differing perspectives and find solutions to meet the needs of everyone involved. Through discussion\, reflection and role play\, educators will leave with practical strategies to turn workplace challenges into opportunities for collaboration and trust-building\, strengthening both their professional relationships and the learning environment for children. \nTrainer: Andrea Cossey\, 4-C Infant Early Childhood Mental Health Consultant \nAudience: All Providers \n2 Training Hours; Level of Learning: Introductory \nFee: \nNon 4-C Members: $10 \n4-C Members: Free

SUMMARY:Rooted in Resilience: Growing Adult SEL (Social Emotional Learning) in Early Childhood Education
DESCRIPTION:Early childhood educators play a critical role in shaping the social and emotional development of young children\, but to do so effectively\, they must first nurture their own well-being. This training explores the foundational role of adult social-emotional learning (SEL)-self-awareness\, self-management\, social awareness\, relationship skills and responsible decision making-as they relate to their roles as caregivers and educators. Through reflective activities\, discussion and practical strategies\, this training will support educators in strengthening their own emotional resilience\, building strong connections with children and families\, and fostering a culture of empathy and collaboration in their program. \nTrainer: Andrea Cossey\, 4-C Infant Early Childhood Mental Health Consultant \nAudience: All Providers \n2 Training Hours; Level of Learning: Intermediate \nFee: \nNon 4-C Members: $10 \n4-C Members: Free
