SUMMARY:The Shift From Control to Connection: Parental Mediation Strategies That Support Digital Wellbeing
DESCRIPTION:Training Overview\nThe Minnesota Association for Children’s Mental Health (MACMH) is hosting a training presented by Erin Walsh\, CO-Founder at Spark & Stitch Institute. \nWhile dominant media narratives paint a simple equation that teens + screens = negative outcomes\, the latest data point to a much more complicated picture. Unfortunately\, this simplistic messaging too often positions parents simply as “on-off” regulators of adolescent media use and can lead to restrictive mediation strategies that backfire as children grow older. The nuances in the relationship between screen time and mental health require that helping professionals\, caring adults and caregivers increase their knowledge of these issues and build a mediation toolkit that responds to the developmental needs of adolescents as well as the complexity of the digital world that young people are growing up in. \nThis workshop will briefly review some of the key takeaways in the research about screen time and mental health and explore why restrictive mediation strategies alone are insufficient to reduce harm and strengthen resilience. Participants will be asked to connect the dots between the developmental tasks of adolescents and the digital dilemmas and opportunities they navigate daily. Time will be spent reviewing additional effective mediation strategies that center adult-child connections\, communication and compassion. Reflection prompts and Q&A will help participants make meaning of their learning. \nThis training is for everyone from all professions and will address early childhood to adolescence age. \nLearning Objectives\n\nReview key research takeaways on the relationship between screen time and adolescent mental health and wellbeing.\nExplain parental mediation strategies and their impact on exposure to risk and adolescent risk behaviors.\nIdentify strategies associated with successful parental/adult mediation that are developmentally appropriate for tweens and teens.\n\nAbout the Presenter\nErin Walsh is a parent\, speaker\, educator and writer. She has worked with communities across the country who want to better understand child and adolescent development and cut through conflicting information about kids and technology. Erin and her father\, Dr. David Walsh\, started together at the National Institute on Media and the Family before creating Spark & Stitch Institute in 2019. In addition to writing articles for several organizations including Bolster Collaborative and Psychology Today\, she co-authored the 10th Anniversary Edition of the national bestseller Why Do They Act That Way? A Survival Guide to the Adolescent Brain for You and Your Teen. Her signature down-to-earth approach and sense of humor helps families and educators engage in complicated topics and leave feeling capable and motivated. She has consulted with schools\, school districts\, parent groups and other youth serving organizations throughout North America on issues related to digital media\, parenting\, and social emotional development. \nRegister via MACMH\nThis training is anticipated to be approved for 0.5 hours of Cultural Competence Content and approved for 2 CEHs.

SUMMARY:Beyond Behaviorism: Shifting the Lens When Assessing and Supporting Behaviors
DESCRIPTION:Training Overview\nThe Minnesota Association for Children’s Mental Health (MACMH) will present a live webinar with Connie Persike\, MS\, CCC/SLP\, Speech Pathologist and Educational Consultant at Supportable Solutions. Many professionals are working tirelessly to shift the behavioral paradigm away from the traditional behavioral approach and toward what current relational and neuroscience research has taught us. When we know better\, we do better! Let’s use that information to redesign tools we frequently use in schools and community settings today – functional behavioral assessments and positive behavioral intervention plans. If you are struggling with these processes and if they do not align with your current philosophy and belief system\, then this workshop is for you! Participants will get a deep dive into how to make these common processes more trauma-sensitive\, neurodiversity-affirming\, and aligned with current research. The intended audience is for administrators\, occupational therapists\, speech pathologists\, educators\, clinicians\, community support members\, parents\, schools\, psychologists\, and social workers. \nThree Learning Objectives\n\nParticipants will describe what a functional behavioral assessment is and when it is needed.\nParticipants will describe the brief history of the functional behavioral assessment and positive behavioral intervention plan.\nParticipants will describe at least 5 shifts to align functional behavioral assessments and behavior support plans with current knowledge and research.\n\nAbout the Presenter\nConnie Persike is a highly experienced Speech Language Pathologist and Educational Consultant. As founder of Supportable Solutions\, she brings 20+ years of experience in educational settings to provide insight\, guidance\, coaching\, and support to school districts\, agencies\, and families across Wisconsin — and throughout the country. Connie holds a certificate in instructional coaching\, positive education\, and applied educational neuroscience. She created an innovative process to assess behavior\, which deviates from the traditional behaviorism approach and aligns with neuroscience while maintaining a trauma-sensitive and neurodiversity-affirming approach. Connie works from the guiding mission that Connection + Collaboration = Endless Possibilities. \nRegister via MACMH\n4 CEHs and includes 3 hours of clinical content.
