SUMMARY:Transforming the Hospital-to-Home Journey: Strengthening Supports for NICU Caregivers and their Infants Post-Discharge
DESCRIPTION:BARNARD CENTER FREE LECTURE SERIES \nCaregivers of NICU infants are at significantly higher risk of perinatal mental health challenges which can impact early relational health and infant development\, particularly feeding – a complex\, relationship-based process that can become a source of immense stress for families.  Every family who leaves the NICU should have the support they need.  Yet current post-discharge systems of care are fragmented and inequitable. Northwest Center’s Hospital-to-Home care model works to change this by integrating siloed services\, reducing points of contact for families\, and ensuring universal screening for resource and mental health needs alongside infant developmental and feeding therapy.  This session will highlight both the need for this support and our ongoing efforts to create more equitable\, coordinated NICU-to-home transitions that optimize outcomes for infants and their families.

SUMMARY:Connecting with Families Using their Child’s Behavior as Language
DESCRIPTION:Learn how to use observation\, narration\, and the invitation to parents to offer their perspectives on their child’s development as a way to support children who are experiencing overwhelming emotions. Explore the power of using the behavior of a child as our language with families and providers through observation\, narration\, and the invitation to parents to offer their perspectives on their child’s development. Learn how putting the child’s behavior into words with the child can also be used as a tool to support healthy social-emotional development. We will discuss strategies providers can use to deepen their partnerships with families and support child-family relationships using a strengths-based lens. This lens is critical to supporting children who are experiencing overwhelming emotions that might show up as behaviors that challenge adults. Register now

SUMMARY:“Why do they do that?!” – Behaviors in Relationships (In Person\, Kitsap County)
DESCRIPTION:Parents and caregivers seek support with and for their young children most often due to children’s challenging behaviors. While we know that behaviors have meaning\, how the behaviors make us feel and how we understand them can prevent us from staying present and attuning to the needs of children who are exhibiting challenging behaviors. This presentation summarizes the Dynamic Maturational Model of Attachment and brings into conversation empirical perspectives and knowledge to support parents and caregivers to hold our children’s behaviors as adaptive strategies to communicate their needs. In doing so\, we support our children’s capacity to experience\, express\, and regulate their emotions\, in turn promoting their learning\, exploration\, and ability to be in “right” relationship with themselves and others. Hosted by the Advanced Clinical Training Program at the Barnard Center. \nMonday\, 11/3 from 12:30 – 2:00 pm \nOESD114\, 105 National Ave. N\, Bremerton\, WA 98312 \nRegister now \nStay for an information session about the Barnard Center’s Advanced Clinical Training (ACT) Program in infant and early childhood mental health at the University of Washington from 2:00 – 3:30 pm.

SUMMARY:Raising Children Who Are Accountable and Empowered
DESCRIPTION:This episode’s conversation will be delivered in English with live Spanish translation. \nIn this episode\, we explore machismo and traditional beliefs about masculinity — where these ideas come from\, how they’ve shaped our culture\, and how they impact the way children grow\, learn\, and relate to one another. We’ll look at how these cultural norms influence children’s emotional expression and sense of responsibility\, and how they also affect their confidence\, voice\, and leadership. Together\, we’ll examine how these beliefs show up in our daily lives and how caregivers — including fathers\, mothers\, and extended family — can nurture emotional strength\, mutual respect\, and purpose in both girls and boys. This session invites all of us to reflect\, grow\, and raise youth who thrive and uplift each other. Register now.

SUMMARY:Practicing Decolonized Parenting When You’re Triggered & Tired
DESCRIPTION:How do we stay true to our values in justice and liberation as caregivers in this moment of uncertainty and chaos? \nSurviving under systemic oppression might leave you with so little bandwidth to be intentional in raising your little ones even when you know all too well that “liberation starts at home.” \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nHow do we struggle well while showing up as the parents/caregivers we know we can be…most of the time?\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nIn this interactive\, 90-minute teach-in\, you’ll explore:\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSustain your advocacy as a caregiving using the Hokey Pokey of Social Justice Parenting. \n\n\nProtect your child(ren) from oppression and still prepare them for liberation using the Social Justice Parenting Math. \n\n\nShift from (unintentionally) policing your child(ren) when you’re triggered and tired with one question from the Social Justice Parenting Playbook framework. \n\n\nWe’ll explore these topics together using a large group discussion. Participate as much or little as you’d like. Multitasking with children on your lap or in a messy (aka magical) living room is welcomed. Come curious. Come as you are. \nStaying aligned with your values in liberation while staying alive under systemic oppression is yikes on bikes. And you’re not alone. We’re in this struggle towards liberation together. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFacilitated by Nat Nadha Vikitsreth\, LCSW (she/her)\, Founding Steward of Come Back to Care and host of the Come Back to Care Podcast \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRegister now.
