Trauma 101: How To Care For Your Family Well

If you’re like most parents, some days you feel like the parent of the year, while other days you wonder if you have the strength to navigate and handle your child’s behavior. This pre-conference is for parents seeking to learn more about the impact of trauma on children and how to effectively respond. Understanding the nuisances and complexities of trauma is challenging. Applying what we know about trauma to help those we love is even more complex.This session will introduce trauma’s impact on the family system with participants learning the importance of creating a home where everyone’s emotional needs are met.
In this session attendees will learn:
• How trauma impacts our brain, body, biology, belief, and behaviors
• Step-by-step methods for addressing behaviors associated with trauma
• Practical tools to use in your home

Wholehearted Compassion: Overcome Blocked Care and Find Your Way Back to Compassion
Lisa C. Qualls | One Thankful Mom
Do you ever feel like you’re just going through the motions of parenting, emotionally drained and disconnected? Do you wonder what happened to the loving, patient parent you thought you’d be? Maybe you’ve even felt shame for struggling in ways you never expected.
You’re not alone—and this isn’t about a lack of love, faith, or commitment. You may be experiencing blocked care, a common but often misunderstood challenge rooted in the nervous system. The good news? There’s a way through.
Join me for an insightful, compassionate workshop where you’ll learn:
• What blocked care is and why it happens
• How stress and trauma impact your nervous system and your ability to connect
• Practical, science-backed strategies to help you reconnect and thrive as a parent
You can reclaim joy in parenting. You can rebuild compassion and connection with your child. Let’s take the first step together!
