SUMMARY:Weaving Our Medicines - Ancestral Somatics and Perinatal Mental Health as a Pathway to Collective Liberation
DESCRIPTION:This workshop introduces the Weaving Our Medicines resource\, an offering that centers the lived experiences\, stories\, and ancestral wisdom of Black\, Indigenous\, and birth workers of color. We view birth workers expansively\, including all people and practitioners who directly and indirectly support the ceremony of birth. We will explore a primer in perinatal mental health and a framework for reconnecting with ancestral somatic practices during pregnancy\, postpartum\, and beyond. \nThis workshop will also introduce the “Codices in Our Bones” conceptual framework\, a clinical framework for unearthing culturally specific somatic practices for reconnecting with ancestral pathways for healing and liberation during the perinatal period. This framework will inspire participants to reconnect with the unique\, embodied wisdom and technologies from their personal and professional lineages. By weaving ancestral and somatic practices with perinatal mental health modalities\, we create pathways toward collective liberation at the level of the body\, dyad\, and collective. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nObjectives:\n\n\nUpon completion of this workshop\, participants will be able to: \n\n\nIntegrate a healing justice-oriented framework for perinatal mental health that centers the wisdom of Black\, Indigenous\, and birth workers of color. \n\n\nDefine the “Codices in Our Bones” conceptual framework to inspire reconnection with unique ancestral and somatic wisdoms. \n\n\nArticulate how the intentional weaving of somatic practices and ancestral healing within birth work serves as a foundational step toward collective liberation. \n\n\nIdentify specific ways to utilize this resource as a holding space for incorporating personal ancestral wisdom into professional practice. \n\n\nCultivate a practice of vulnerability and humility essential for collective accountability in the application of these medicines. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRegister now.

SUMMARY:“Why do they do that?!” – Behaviors in Relationships (In Person\, King 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. \n\nLocation: Othello – UW Commons 4200 S.

SUMMARY:Relational Wealth: The MEND Model as a Framework for Liberation in Infant Mental Health
DESCRIPTION:In a world where inequities create relational poverty that strips families of joy\, dignity\, and connection\, how do we replenish what has been lost? This interactive workshop introduces relational wealth as a liberatory resource\, defined not by dollars but by our ability to attune\, reflect\, and co-heal. \nDrawing from Dr. Siemone Smith’s dissertation research on the impact of the White Gaze on Black mothers\, and her development of the MEND Model (Relation to Self\, Relation to Others\, Relation to Healing)\, participants will explore how attunement itself is a revolutionary act. Through storytelling\, reflective activities\, and shared dialogue\, attendees will deepen their capacity to sustain themselves and the families they serve\, leaving with a framework to multiply relational wealth across generations. \nRegister now.

SUMMARY:On Our Compassion's Fatigue: Treating Our Hearts After We've Given Too Much
DESCRIPTION:This session offers a care-filled\, multibranched approach to compassion fatigue: the very felt sense that we have run out of resources\, or even care\, for those we support. Our time together will be grounded in relational psychology\, somatic abolition\, collective care praxis\, and belonging. Together\, we can name the structural\, ancestral\, and personal burdens that practitioners carry… and grieve that global pains\, racial injustice\, and relentless systemic pressure impact us as well. Through practices of radical self-compassion\, in-group community reciprocity\, and trauma-aware warmth\, we can create a quiet space together. And in that space\, we can together honor the fatigue that comes from loving our communities with such open and tender hearts. You’re a good person even in your darkest\, least-compassionate moments. My group is designed to affirm your grace. \nRegister now.
