SUMMARY:Lunch and Learn- NMT\, Presented by Sonya Warga and Dawn Isaac
DESCRIPTION:Prairie Tides is a healing-centered initiative in Manitoba that offers support for youth facing mental health and substance use challenges. It provides a live-in healing home and community-based services that are culturally safe and trauma-informed. The organization utilizes the Neurosequential Model of Therapeutics™ (NMT™) to create personalized healing plans tailored to each youth’s needs. Prairie Tides emphasizes a Two-Eyed Seeing approach\, integrating Indigenous wisdom with Western therapeutic practices\, to ensure holistic care and support for youth in their healing journeys. \n  \nDawn Isaac (BHEC\, MAAC)  is Anishinaabe-ikwe from Sagkeeng First Nation. She holds a bachelor’s degree in human Ecology and a Masters degree in applied communications. She has several years of experience in research & training with a focus on intergenerational\, developmental\, and organizational trauma as well as Indigenous issues in both a historical and current context. She is passionate about promoting a wide-spread understanding of trauma-informed and trauma-responsive services as a best practice approach across multiple sectors. Dawn is also committed to advancing Indigenous knowledge(s)\, resilience\, healing practices\, and creating safe spaces\, as well as fostering reconciliatory relationship building. 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
