SUMMARY:Highmark Walk for a Healthy Community
DESCRIPTION:Walk with us! Registration is FREE! \nThis year\, we’re walking for the children who need more than what insurance covers. Too many kids in our community\, especially those who have experienced trauma\, are unable to access critical therapy and mental health support simply because it falls outside of coverage.  \nWith every step\, we’re raising funds to ensure they get the care they need to heal\, grow\, and thrive. \n📩 Register here: Highmark Walk For A Healthy Community Wilmington

SUMMARY:Online Workshop: The Big 3: Raging\, Lying & Stealing with Special Guest Presenter Barb Clark
DESCRIPTION:Special Guest Presenter: Barb Clark\, Adoptive Parent\, Author\, & Founder of FASD Mosaic \nChild welfare professionals and caregivers alike often support children\, teens\, or adults who struggle with emotional regulation\, impulse control\, and behaviors that may appear defiant\, disruptive\, or confusing. Traditional behavior management strategies frequently fall short—especially when trauma\, neurodiversity\, or brain-based conditions are involved—leaving everyone feeling frustrated and disconnected. This session addresses trauma-responsive\, relationship-centered approaches to challenging behaviors. Through real-world examples and practical tools\, participants will learn how to shift from reacting to connecting—using strategies that de-escalate conflict\, build trust\, and promote long-term growth. Behaviors like raging\, lying and stealing will be reframed through a lens of compassion\, brain science\, and hope. \nAttendees will receive a FREE copy of Barb’s book\, Raising Kids and Teens with FASD: Advice and Strategies to Help Your Family to Thrive! That includes helpful chapters regarding raging\, lying\, and stealing. \nBarb Clark is known for her down-to-earth style\, blending honesty\, humor\, and practical wisdom to empower caregivers and professionals. Her trainings offer real-world strategies that actually work. As the adoptive parent of five adult children\, including one with FASD\, Barb brings lived experience and deep insight to her work in her business.\n\n\n\n📩 RSVP today by emailing training@abcfoc.org.
