SUMMARY:Fatherhood Summit: Celebrate Dads the Continuing Journey - Creating Our Path Forward
DESCRIPTION:Join in person for the 2025 Fatherhood Summit. This year’s theme celebrates fathers and invites us to create our path forward for the Washington Fatherhood Council. The afternoon promises to be full of powerful insights and thoughtful discussion. \nSome support for travel costs is available for dads to attend the event\, including mileage\, childcare expenses\, and compensation for lived experience for a limited number of fathers. Contact for more information. \nRegistration is limited to 120 attendees so register early! Register Here\nOverview:\n\nThis event is free.\nDoors open at noon with a light lunch and refreshments.\nThe event begins at 1 p.m.\nClosing remarks begin at 4 p.m.\n\nHighlights:\n\nKeynote Speaker: Brendan Kwiatkowski-Hartman\, Ph.D.\n2025 Dad Allies Awards\nAward Winner Dads Panel discussing their experiences with our keynote speaker.\nGroup discussions to develop the next steps for the Washington Fatherhood Council.\n\nKeynote Presentation: The Unspoken Truth of Fatherhood – Needed but Not Nurtured\nFatherhood matters — it has the power to transform the lives of children\, partners\, fathers themselves\, and the wellbeing of society. The research is clear\, but the reality is far more complicated. In a cultural moment focused on confronting outdated or harmful forms of masculinity\, fathers are often seen as both sacred and suspect — essential\, yet unsupported. Too often\, men are left to figure it out alone. But supporting fathers isn’t a zero-sum game — it doesn’t take anything away from mothers or families; it strengthens them. This keynote delves into these core tensions and offers key insights for building a fatherhood that is connected\, supported\, and equipped to navigate the complexities of modern masculinity. \n\n\n\nIn Person – 605 SW 108th St.\, Seattle\, WA 98146 – Register Now

SUMMARY:Engaging with Families in the Wiikwedong ECD Collaborative – Indigenous Visiting
DESCRIPTION:The relationship between early learning programs and families is critical. In many systems\, family engagement is prescribed through home visits and checklists and observation protocols. The Wiikwedong Early Childhood Development (ECD) Collaborative in the Keweenaw Bay Indian Community has asked the question: How do we visit Ojibwe families in ways that draw upon Native cultural practices of relationship\, connection\, and care? Out of their inquiry into this question has emerged the concept of Indigenous Visiting. In this episode\, members of the Wiikwedong ECD Collaborative will join us to discuss these questions: What is Indigenous Visiting within the practice of early childhood development? What is the Wiikwedong ECD Collaborative’s process of developing Indigenous Visiting practices across four early childhood development programs and family services? And what are examples of learning kits that parents\, families\, and teachers can engage in creating together? Register now \nTurtle Talk: Collectively Raising Indige-babies is a free conversation series convened by the Indigenous Early Learning Collaborative (IELC) Institute as a fun way to engage parents and families in thinking forward about how we collectively raise Indigenous children and babies in a contemporary and fast-growing technological\, global Indigenous society.

SUMMARY:MHAYC Evaluation Report webinar
DESCRIPTION:In 2022\, Apple Health policies changed to support developmentally appropriate mental health assessments for young children (MHAYC). But did these policy changes impact practice? Join HCA and the Department of Social & Human Service’s Research and Data Analysis (DSHS RDA) to hear about the results of an evaluation study to answer this question. \nThe study used standard claims data submitted by health care providers to understand whether there were changes in multi-session assessments\, assessments in natural settings\, or assigned diagnoses before and after MHAYC policies went into effect. The results will provide insight into how Medicaid policy changes can impact the care that young children and family receive. \nRegister \nNote: While registration for the webinar is now open\, the report is not yet published. We anticipate the report will be published in October 2025.

SUMMARY:Power Play: A Play-Based Approach to Nurture Equity & Belonging in Home Visitor-Family Partnership (In-Person)
DESCRIPTION:**This session will be held IN-PERSON** (lunch included) \nYou already know how to “follow the caregivers’ lead\,” “meet the child where they’re at\,” and “empower the families.” But when things get rough\, some of us tend to step back\, hide\, or people please while others might step in\, dominate\, and control the partnership with families. By understanding your go-to ways of using power (or power dynamics) in home visiting\, you can power-with (not power-over) with families and promote child and family outcomes. \nIn this full-day workshop\, you’ll be trying out different games and theater exercises to discover your unique style of collaboration with and attunement to families. Then\, you’ll apply this self-awareness to your home visiting work. So that you can effectively shift from hoarding and misusing power to sharing power with the families you serve. \nPlease come curious and come as you are. Come ready to play and discover the power you already have to nurture equity and belonging in your partnership with the families. \nThis workshop is for you to sharpen your: \n\nLeadership skills as a home visitor\nAnalysis of white supremacy\, capitalism\, colonialism\, and patriarchy\nFlexibility in exercising your power within your partnership with the families\n\nOutcomes \nAs a result of participating in this session\, participants will be able to: \n\ndifferentiate between patterns of under accountability and over accountability in home visiting.\ncultivate agile and adaptive leadership skills to strengthen their partnerships with families.\ndifferentiate between power-with or power-over.\n\nRegister now.

SUMMARY:The Ripple Effect
DESCRIPTION:This workshop presents an integrative framework for understanding and communication across systems about how trauma can affect a child\, a family\, and a system. The framework was developed by Chandra Ghosh Ippen\, Christopher Layne\, and Bob Pynoos of the National Child Traumatic Stress Network (NCTSN) and is adapted from core trauma concepts identified and ratified by the NCTSN Core Curriculum on Childhood Trauma Task Force. The Ripple Effect translates complex trauma concepts using metaphor\, visual models\, common language\, and rich case example and shows: 1) the domains of functioning affected by trauma; 2) the mechanisms through which trauma affects development; and 3) intervention pathways. This workshop offers foundational trauma knowledge for providers and highlights ways to share trauma theory with family members and across systems (e.g.\, schools\, child welfare\, mental health\, medical system\, judiciary\, police) as we work jointly to lessen the impact of trauma exposure. \nThere will be a 30-minute lunch break during both sessions. \nTuesday\, October 26 – 9:30 am – 3pm & Wednesday\, October 29 – 9:30 am – 3pm. \nRegister now.

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.
