Reconnect For Resilience: Connecting and Enhancing Child Life Skills with the Neuroscience Behind the Body's Stress Reaction

http://www.childlife.org/professional-development/webinar-schedule
DESCRIPTION
This webinar is based on the Reconnect for Resilience (RFR) orientation, which introduces the full 14-hour RFR training offered throughout western North Carolina. RFR is trauma-informed and resiliency-focused, and offers practical strategies that child life specialists, medical staff, and patients and families can use to promote balance and wellbeing in the midst of a fast paced, ever changing healthcare environment. This training teaches about trauma, the brain, the effects of Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs), and the human nervous system in a way that participants of all ages, educations, or backgrounds can understand. This simple, teachable format is designed for anyone to learn, and the concepts and techniques presented in this webinar are ideal for sharing with multidisciplinary staff and families.
PRESENTER
Julian Cate, CCLS has worked as a child life specialist at Mission Children’s Hospital in Ashville, NC, for 12 years. Until 2016, Julian covered the 19-bed general paediatric floor and the 9-bed paediatric ICU while consulting in various departments such as endoscopy, the adult ICUs, sedation, radiology, and behavioural health. In 2016, Julian transitioned into a position as the child life specialist serving the ICUs within Mission Hospital, primarily focusing on PICU, NICU, and the adult ICUs. Since 2015, Julian has been involved in resiliency practices, both for self-care and as a means for working with children and families affected by hospitalization. Julian has become a trainer in the wellness model known as Reconnect for Resilience (RFR), in which individuals are taught about the nervous system’s response to trauma and emotional upset, along with techniques that enable us to reset our own nervous systems to create balance within the body. Julian continues moving forward with facilitating and advocating for trauma-informed and resiliency-focused practices within and beyond child life.
