SUMMARY:An Introduction to Adverse Childhood Experiences
DESCRIPTION:Children who grow up in safe\, stable\, nurturing relationships and environments that foster hope and resilience are better prepared for lifelong health and well-being. The 1998 landmark Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) Study demonstrated that many adults recall experiences including abuse\, neglect\, substance abuse and areas of household dysfunction that led to lifelong poor physical and emotional health. Understanding ACEs provides valuable insights\, but of equal importance is the ability to consider ways children and families can flourish even in the face of adversity. This training will provide an introduction and overview of the Adverse Childhood Experiences research\, discuss how ACEs impact child development and the likelihood of developing negative health behaviors. Participants will brainstorm concrete ways to cultivate relationships and environments that create a positive impact for children and families in our communities\, which prevent and mitigate adverse childhood experiences. This training is approved by KDHE for 1.0 child care licensing hours.

SUMMARY:Making the Connection: Strong Families\, Strong Businesses and Strong Communities
DESCRIPTION:How do we ensure that children have a safe\, stable\, nurturing environment in which to grow? One strategy is engaging communities to support family-friendly policy and practice changes. Family-friendly workplaces and a family-friendly society are good for children\, parents\, and elders; they are in the best interest of employers; and\, in the long run\, they benefit all communities. Based on the latest research and strategies for preventing child abuse and neglect\, this training will raise awareness and understanding about the connections between preventing and mitigating adverse childhood experiences\, which lead to stronger families and stronger businesses. Specific examples of actions that can be taken will be provided. NOTE: This training is approved by KDHE for 1.0 childcare licensing hours.

SUMMARY:Making the Connections: Strong Families\, Strong Businesses and Strong Communities
DESCRIPTION:The Period of PURPLE Crying® is the phrase used to describe the peak time when babies cry more often. Infants who cry a lot or are awake and fussy at night are a source of concern for many parents. Because of the normal increase in crying that occurs in the first months of a baby’s life\, parents and caregivers usually have questions. Crying is the most frequently reported trigger for why a parent or caregiver would shake a baby. Early prevention education is the key to decreasing the incidence of shaken baby syndrome and infant abuse. The Period of PURPLE Crying® is an evidence-based shaken baby syndrome primary prevention program created by the National Center on Shaken Baby Syndrome. Learn about the Kansas strategy\, how PURPLE is being implemented in hospitals and agencies across the state\, how the program was selected and the research behind it. This training is geared toward those professionals who are working with families with new babies\, whether through childcare\, home visitation programs\, health departments\, clinics\, etc. This training is approved by KDHE for 1.0 child care licensing hours.

SUMMARY:Connections Matter
DESCRIPTION:Every day connections are more important than we ever believed. Science tells us that relationships have the power to shape our brains. Relationships help us learn better\, work better\, parent better. When we experience tough times\, relationships help us heal. With each connection\, we develop a healthier\, stronger community. Connections Matter is a training designed to engage community members in building caring connections to improve resiliency\, prevent childhood trauma\, and understand how our interactions with others can support those who have experienced trauma. Connections Matter explores how the connections we make in life profoundly impact our brain’s ability to grow and our own abilities to cope and thrive. This is done through a training curriculum that educates participants on adverse childhood experiences\, trauma\, brain development and resilience. Connections Matter ultimately strives to promote the building of more resilient\, compassionate\, and trauma-informed communities – thus allowing all children and individuals to succeed. This training is pre-approved for 2.0 KDHE child care licensing hours. \n  \nCEUs: This training is approved by KDHE for childcare licensing hours. BSRB approved. \nRegister Here \n

SUMMARY:Creating Resilience Through Connection
DESCRIPTION:Resilience is often thought of as the ability to bounce back from a tough time. In this training we’re going to look at resilience as bouncing forward.

SUMMARY:An Introduction to Adverse Childhood Experiences
DESCRIPTION:Children who grow up in safe\, stable\, nurturing relationships and environments that foster hope and resilience are better prepared for lifelong health and well-being. The 1998 landmark Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) Study demonstrated that many adults recall experiences including abuse\, neglect\, substance abuse and areas of household dysfunction that led to lifelong poor physical and emotional health. Understanding ACEs provides valuable insights\, but of equal importance is the ability to consider ways children and families can flourish even in the face of adversity. This training will provide an introduction and overview of the Adverse Childhood Experiences research\, discuss how ACEs impact child development and the likelihood of developing negative health behaviors. Participants will brainstorm concrete ways to cultivate relationships and environments that create a positive impact for children and families in our communities\, which prevent and mitigate adverse childhood experiences. This training is approved by KDHE for 1.0 child care licensing hours.

SUMMARY:Perinatal Substance Use: Recognition\, Reporting and Supporting
DESCRIPTION:This workshop is intended to build provider capacity and knowledge of best practices in supporting perinatal families impacted by substance use. The perinatal period (pregnancy through 12 months postpartum) can be a complex time for care professionals and the populations they serve. Substance use during the perinatal period can bring up a variety of questions for professionals related to mandated reporting requirements and making appropriate and timely referrals to support services. This training will present an abridged overview of Kansas mandated reporting requirements\, especially as they relate to the perinatal population\, and review risk factors for abuse and neglect in the perinatal period. Additionally\, this training will introduce a newly created perinatal provider workflow\, focused on Pregnant Women Using Substances\, intended to increase access to treatment and connection to community support services. Participants will learn from case examples taken from the perinatal period and have the opportunity to ask questions of DCF representatives.
