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.

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.

SUMMARY:3-Day Hospital-to-Home Training
DESCRIPTION:Hosted by Northwest Center Kids\, the Hospital-to-Home™ three-day training is an interdisciplinary 3-day training that instructs providers on supporting the specific mental health\, feeding\, and nutrition care needs of infants and caregivers transitioning from the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) to home. While NICU infants are at high risk for feeding and growth concerns\, their caregivers are also at significant risk of experiencing Perinatal Mood and Anxiety Disorders (PMADs). Research shows high-risk infants have better outcomes transitioning out of the NICU when they receive quality therapy in the home shortly after discharge. This training helps build the workforce capacity to holistically support infants and families in the hospital-to-home transition. \nWho would Benefit from this Training: Early Intervention providers (including OTs\, PTs\, SLPs\, FRCs\, TCVI\, DHH)\, home visitors\, community mental health providers\, WIC\, postpartum doulas\, lactation consultants\, peer counselors and others supporting infants and families! \nNote: Please plan to attend live for all three dates in this series. \nMarch 3\, April 7 & May 12 – 9:00 am – 5:00 pm \nRegister now.

SUMMARY:Deepening the DIR® Perspective: A Focus on Families
DESCRIPTION:From its inception\, the DIR model has defined development through attuned relationships. Finding\, strengthening\, and sustaining these relationships is central to practicing DIR and other relational approaches. This requires a nuanced consideration of families’ contexts\, capacities\, values\, and lived experiences. What do families really need and how can they be supported? This March\, Profectum’s Deepening the DIR perspective conference asks that question and calls clinicians\, educators\, policy-makers\, and parents into a Focus on Families. \nMany professionals build their work around an individual client and their evident needs. It is critical that this approach recognizes that any given child is situated in the context of some kind of family story. They may have siblings or live with grandparents. They may have one dedicated caregiver with minimal resources and support or a host of caregivers with multiple perspectives. They may live in complex communities with diverse strengths and needs. They may think\, play\, communicate\, and develop in ways that mirror\, or do not mirror\, their broader family environment. These factors create significant impacts on children and their development and therapeutic frameworks must take them into account. In DIR we know that families are sustained through care\, connection\, and the relationships that help children and caregivers grow together. The conference offers a series of exciting sessions grounded in the recognition that relationships are not simply one influence among many\, but the core condition through which families thrive. Over two days\, participants will join leaders\, practitioners\, and caregivers to reflect on their work with families and to deepen their appreciation of how care and connection shape development.\n \n\nDay one centers on families as sources of emotional safety\, belonging\, and meaning\, and explores how experiences of being loved\, valued\, and understood create cascading developmental effects for children and caregivers alike. Perspectives from parents\, advocates\, clinicians\, and researchers will invite participants to reflect on how relational presence\, responsiveness\, and trust are cultivated in everyday interactions with families.\n\n\nDay two emphasizes applied\, relationship-based practices\, with a focus on building and sustaining therapeutic alliances with families. Participants will explore practical approaches that support emotionally rich\, connected family environments\, illustrated through case vignettes that highlight the transformative power of relationships in clinical and community contexts.\n\nThrough interactive sessions and reflective dialogue\, the conference supports professionals and community members in strengthening the relational foundations that allow children and families to flourish. \n\n\nAs of result of this conference participants will be able to:\n\n\nExplain the importance of connection\, safety\, and attuned relationships in family wellbeing.\nApply practical tools to support families and their needs through therapeutic assessment and intervention.\n\n\n\nWho should attend? \n\nProfessionals in Speech and Language\, Occupational and Physical Therapies\, Education\, Mental Health (Psychology\, Social Work\, Counseling\, Marriage and Family Therapy)\, Medicine\, Play Therapy\, Creative Arts\, Parents and Caregivers. \n\nCE applications have been submitted for OTs\, COTAs\, SLPs\, SLPAs\, and Mental Health professionals. Live attendance of all sessions is required for CE credit. \nMarch 6 & 8 \nRegister now
