SUMMARY:Online Workshop: Understanding Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders Through a Trauma Lens with Special Guest Presenter Barb Clark
DESCRIPTION:Special Guest Presenter: Barb Clark\, Adoptive Parent\, Author and Founder of FASD Mosaic\, FASD/Behavior Consultant \nFetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders (FASD)\, though more prevalent than autism\, are often overlooked\, misdiagnosed\, or misunderstood. Individuals with FASD live with invisible brain injuries that affect memory\, impulse control\, emotional regulation\, and learning—making traditional behavioral\, educational\, and therapeutic strategies often ineffective or even harmful. This session offers a trauma-informed\, neurobehavioral approach to understanding FASD. Participants will explore how prenatal exposure impacts the developing brain and how those effects show up in everyday behavior. Through real-life examples and practical tools\, we’ll shift the focus from “won’t” to “can’t\,” helping caregivers and professionals respond with greater compassion\, clarity\, and effectiveness. Whether you’re a caregiver\, educator\, or service provider\, this session will equip you to better support individuals with FASD and help them thrive. \nAttendees will receive a FREE copy of Barb’s book\, Raising Kids and Teens with FASD: Advice & Strategies to Help Your Family to Thrive!  \nBarb’s training offers real-world strategies that actually work. As the adoptive parent of five adult children\, including one with FASD\, and having been diagnosed herself with FASD at age 56\, Barb brings lived experience and deep insight to her work in her business FASD Mosaic\, and brings even greater authenticity to her first book–Raising Kids and Teens with FASD: Advice and Strategies to Help Your Family Thrive. \n  \n📩 RSVP today by emailing training@abcfoc.org.

SUMMARY:Online Workshop: Unpacking Anxiety with Special Guest Presenter Jessica Sinarski\, LPCMH
DESCRIPTION:Special Guest Presenter: Jessica Sinarski\, LPCMH \nOur brain alarms help us survive\, but when they get extra protective and leave us feeling anxious\, it can be tough to do even the simplest thing. For many of our kids\, anxiety is a constant companion that makes everyday tasks feel impossibly hard. Anxiety can cause our kids to look at every situation through a “worst possible outcome” lens\, leaving them feeling incapable of doing things like homework assignments\, chores\, or even participating in their favorite sport. Sometimes\, anxiety can look like intentional disobedience or outright defiance\, sometimes it can look like the child just doesn’t care\, or that they just don’t want to try hard enough. But what if it’s the case for your child that it’s anxiety that’s taking over\, leaving them feeling completely stuck under the fear of the unknown? \nThis workshop will provide parents with information\, proven strategies\, and practical tools to help their children say HELLO to their anxiety\, and to tackle those moments when everything just seems too overwhelming to even try. \nJessica Sinarski\, LPCMH\, is an award-winning author\, speaker\, and founder of BraveBrains. She translates neuroscience into action steps and practical tools that kids and families can begin to use immediately to help harness the power of their amazing brains. \nJessica has spent her entire career working with children who have challenging behaviors and the caring adults in their lives. \n  \n📩 RSVP today by emailing training@abcfoc.org.
