    Redefining Resilience
    Jennifer Schirmer Counselor, LCMHC, NCC, CCTP  
    Description: Resilience is often perceived as something we are born with or not. Resilience, however, is more like a muscle that can be enhanced or strengthened. Redefining Resilience is an exploration of how we experience stress, how we recognize stress, and how we manage stress in a way that supports resilience – both individual resilience and community resilience.

    Pediatric GI Assessment
    Fiona Paul, RN, PhD, CPNP
    Clinical coordinator in the Center for Motility and Functional Gastrointestinal Disorders at Boston Children's Hospital.
    Description:  Our clinic is one of just a few medicine-based motility and functional gastrointestinal centers in the country, we take a biopsychosocial approach to care. This approach focuses on the whole child, not just their gastrointestinal tract — and may eliminate the need for surgery altogether in many cases.  Because motility and functional disorders can have effects well beyond the digestive tract, our clinicians draw on expertise from several different disciplines, including gastroenterology, psychology, pain, allergy, and urology.

    Stress Less with Humor and Optimism
    Loretta LaRoche,  Author, Speaker and TV Personality
    Description: Loretta is a well-recognized TV personality on PBS with seven one-woman television specials airing on 80 PBS stations across the country. She has been nominated for local and prime time Emmy Awards, and has appeared on CNN, ABC, NBC and FOX affiliates. Loretta improves the health of your organization by alleviating stress through humor, leaving audiences happy and optimistic. Loretta is an Internationally recognized stress-management consultant who advocates fun, optimism, and resiliency.  She uses her wit to help people learn how to take stress and turn it into strength.

    3 Concurrent Breakout Sessions   (Choose Two)

    1.  Psychological First Aid and Managing Difficult Interactions
    Jennifer Schirmer Counselor, LCMHC, NCC, CCTP 
    Description: Psychological First Aid (PFA) is a powerful set of core actions for providing support during difficult or distressing interactions with students or colleagues. Objectives of PFA involve promoting safety, creating calm, connecting with others, fostering a sense of empowerment, and instilling hope – all of which are vital elements for supporting the recovery trajectory of anyone experiencing distress. Psychological First Aid also provides opportunities for knowing how to respond versus react when supporting students (or anyone).

    2.  Resiliency through Art
    Fran Nutter-Upham, Art Therapist
    Description:  Using simple materials of paper and glue participants will identify personal strength building elements by the use of collage.

    3.  Restorative Yoga and How to Deeply Rest
    Judith Hanson Lasater, Ph.D., PT,
    Author of Restore and Rebalance and Relax and Renew
    Description:  We work very hard in our lives, and while we may sleep, we rarely take time to relax.  Restorative yoga poses help us learn to rest deeply and completely.  This session will allow you to rest deeply in reclined or seated held positions using props provided. It is contemplative, and relaxing. There is no effort in holding the poses, the props do all of the work so that you can completely relax.  Please wear comfortable clothing, bring light layers, and cozy socks!
