Washington State Society of Clinical Social Work (WSSCSW) board members are hosting an informal social coffee hour. We do not have a set agenda. We want to meet up with clinical social workers and hear from you about your ideas and needs as we move forward as a community. In addition to hearing from you, it’s an opportunity to network and connect with other clinical social workers. If you work or live in the area, we hope you will swing by. The location is The Hanger at 6728 Northeast 181st Street, Kenmore, WA 98028

Child Well-Being and the New Science of Resilience: Practices to Heal Trauma and Nurture Hope

January 23, 2025

Dr. Linda Chamberlain and Abigail Bocanegra, LMFT are the featured speakers for the 2025 NWCF virtual Forum, Child Well-Being and the New Science of Resilience: Practices to Heal Trauma and Nurture Hope. This virtual event is on January 23, from 10:00AM – 3:00PM. Post-event on-demand viewing included with registration.

Developmental scientist Dr. Linda Chamberlain has a renowned ability to translate science into practical strategies and tools. She will demonstrate techniques to balance the nervous system, highlight surprising facts about the hormone oxytocin, and discuss polyvagal insights for parenting – all with a focus on building collective resilience. She is joined by Expressive Arts Psychotherapist Abigail Bocanegra who will share how she centers cultural wisdom and integrates the healing arts into her therapeutic work with children and families. Abigail’s approach revitalizes Indigenous health and healing practices through the arts, offering a holistic method for reconnecting with ancestral and innate healing capacities. Attendees will learn the latest research on the role of the nervous system in healing trauma, building resilience, and preventing burnout; develop an expanded understanding of a culturally responsive and expressive arts approach to healing; and gain practical tools and skills they can apply immediately to their own work. Center for Early Relational Health: 4 CEUs available for mental health professionals.
