SUMMARY:APIN Conference
DESCRIPTION:You are invited to \n“Nurturing Resilience: The Many Ways Parents\, Service Providers and Communities can Help Children Thrive” \nSpeaker:  Michael Ungar\, Ph.D.\, is a Family Therapist and Professor of Social Work at Dalhousie University where he holds the Canada Research Chair in Child\, Family and Community Resilience. His research on resilience around the world and across cultures has made him the number one ranked Social Work scholar in the world\, with numerous educational institutions\, government agencies\, not-for-profits and businesses relying on his research and clinical work to guide their approaches to nurturing child\, family\, organizational and community wellbeing under stress. He the author of 18 books for mental health professionals\, educators\, caregivers and employers\, including his most recent works The Limits of Resilience: When to Persevere\, When to Change\, and When to Quit\, a book for individuals and organizations under stress\, and Working with Children and Youth with Complex Needs: 20 Skills to Build Resilience\, a book for mental health professionals. As well as having received numerous awards for his work\, including the Canadian Association of Social Workers National Distinguished Service Award and being named a Fellow of the Royal Society of Canada\, Dr. Ungar also maintains a blog\, Nurturing Resilience\, which can be read on Psychology Today’s website. \nTo view a sample of Dr. Ungar’s work\, please go to his website www.michaelungar.com \nPresentation:  In this fast-paced\, story-filled presentation\, Dr. Ungar will show that our children’s resilience is much more than their individual ability to overcome adversity. It is just as much the result of how well their parents\, caregivers\, extended families\, schools and communities work together to help children navigate their way to the resources they need for wellbeing\, and whether those resources are made available to children in ways children experience as meaningful. In addition to exploring what resilience means to children from many different backgrounds\, Dr. Ungar will also provide nine practical strategies parents\, caregivers and service providers can use to help children thrive\, no matter a child’s emotional\, psychological or behavioral problems. \n Specific learning objectives for this presentation are: \n\nTo understand how children and families with complex needs use “problem” behaviours to enhance their resilience and wellbeing when more socially acceptable solutions are not available;\nTo become familiar with how to assess resilience;\nTo learn about nine resilience-promoting resources necessary for positive child development;\nTo develop strategies for working without resistance with hard-to-reach\, culturally diverse children\, adolescents\, and their families;\nTo discuss the many ways services can be structured for children and their caregivers that make resilience more likely to occur.\n\nTo Register:  https://www.eventbrite.ca/e/apin-conference-tickets-813419277957     \n*highlight link and right click to open registration link\, or access registration by clicking on website link at bottom of page \n  \n  \n  \n

Dawn spent more than a decade working as part of an intergenerational team (grandmother-mother-granddaughter) facilitating workshops and healing sessions on intergenerational trauma and resilience. Through this transfer of knowledge\, she has been part of an interdisciplinary team developing a Reconciled Healing Model as an overarching clinical framework for organizations in the healing and helping profession. Dawn has also worked closely with Dr. Sandra Bloom\, to pilot Creating Presence; a new and innovative clinical approach to transform organizations and foster trauma-resilient practices. \n  \nSonya Warga (MMFT) is the Clinical Director at Marymound\, where she has worked since 2016. She obtained her Masters of Marriage and Family Therapy from U of W and had planned to grow a private practice\, but after joining Marymound\, she discovered a passion for working with youth. Sonya is responsible for supporting the programs and clinicians who work at Marymound by troubleshooting\, problem-solving\, advocating\, and planning the clinical framework of the organization. She believes that every interaction with youth should be therapeutic\, whether it is through one-to-one meetings or maintaining a therapeutic environment in group homes. Sonya’s work is focused on creating a continuity of approach to generate solidity in the organization. \n  \nThis series provides a neurodevelopmentally-informed perspective on human development\, focusing on the human stress response system and the impact of childhood adversity. Rather than framing these experiences solely in terms of trauma\, we will emphasize how adversity and attachment dysregulation shape behaviour and emotional responses. The goal is to help professionals in social and human services create relationally safe environments that support emotional regulation and well-being. \nParticipants will explore key concepts of brain development\, the effects of childhood adversity\, and attachment disruptions. Participants will gain an understanding of the importance of safety and emotional regulation\, particularly for individuals who have experienced adverse childhood experiences (ACEs)\, mental health challenges\, or co-occurring disorders. \nObjectives of this series include: \n\nUnderstanding the neurological\, physiological\, and emotional impacts of childhood adversity.\nLearning strategies to foster emotional regulation in individuals.\nIdentifying strengths and vulnerabilities in clients and adopting a strengths-based approach.\nCreating relationally safe spaces that promote co-regulated\, supportive relationships.\n\nBy the end of the series\, participants will be equipped with an in-depth understanding of how to reduce stress\, enhance emotional regulation\, and foster supportive\, safe environments for clients or individuals in their care. This training will help professionals create environments where individuals\, especially those with histories of adversity\, feel safe\, understood\, and capable of building resilience in the face of stress and emotional challenges. \n  \nThis NMT Lunch and Learn is a 6 part series\, the dates it will be hosted are listed below! \n\nJanuary 15th 2026\nFebruary 19th 2026\nMarch 5th 2026\nApril 16th 2026\nMay 14th 2026\nJune 11th 2026\n\n
