Joining trauma-informed theory with real-life examples, Tyler’s work will take you beyond the diagnosis and into the human experience.

This opens our ability to have authentic connection and thus creates the support system that we all need for better overall health. Attendees will come away with:

» The ability to dig into how knowing our biology of shame and thriving gives us the ability to build self-awareness skills.

» An understanding of different types of skill building techniques. » The knowledge that self-health is the foundation for maximum performance and

reduced burnout.

JESSICA WONG, HAZELDEN BETTY FORD

In today’s fast paced world, technology is evolving more rapidly than our ability to understand its long-term impact on our society and our kids.

The unlimited access kids have to technology today allows them to experience an entire world at their fingertips. And while the use of technology certainly has its benefits, there are also applications that put our kids at greater risk for developing problems with things such as drugs and alcohol or bullying. This fun, fast-paced and interactive presentation will provide an overview of the digital world of teenagers, what they are doing online, the impact technology is having on social and emotional development, and how to help kids use technology in a balanced and safe way.
