SUMMARY:Preparing Students for Careers: Apprenticeships - Passport to Careers State Conference 2020
DESCRIPTION:A lot of students plan on going to college after high school- but how many students do you know that have career goals that fit well with their interests and skillsets? Have you considered ALL options of how to be successful in that field? Do you have any students that are interested in being a doctor or nurse\, but can’t handle seeing blood? This workshop provides tools for taking steps to encourage your students to contextually and tangibly think about the realities of specific jobs\, as well as options for how to achieve career goals. Although college is the most chosen path after high school\, it may not always be the best option for people interested in certain career paths.

There are over 200 apprenticeship programs in Washington from Construction to Healthcare\, to Information Technology\, to Aerospace\, Early Childhood Education\, and much more! Come learn more about how to identify career options for students so that they can make an educated decision about choosing a career and how they want to accomplish their career goals. \nAttendees will learn how to effectively support students with identifying career paths and ways to become successful in those career paths. Attendees will also have information about apprenticeship options. \nPresented by Emily Stochel of ANEW.

SUMMARY:Introduction to Trauma-Informed Care - Passport to Careers State Conference 2020
DESCRIPTION:Research suggests that between 60-80% of the population experiences at least one traumatic event during their lives\, and prevalence of trauma is higher still for youth who have been homeless or involved in the foster care system. As communities respond to ongoing stress and potential traumas related to COVID-19 and its impacts\, trauma-informed care is increasingly relevant. By working from a trauma-informed perspective\, professionals can ensure that the services they provide are sensitive and relevant for trauma-affected individuals and communities. This workshop offers an introduction to trauma-informed care\, including definitions of acute and chronic trauma\, impacts on brain and behavior\, foundations of trauma-informed care\, and concrete strategies for professionals to provide sustainable and effective support within their roles. \nParticipants will learn definitions for acute and chronic trauma\, common impacts of trauma on brain and behavior\, foundations of trauma-informed care\, and concrete strategies to implement trauma-informed practices within their roles. \nPresented by Anna Scott and Sarah Odell of Southwest Youth & Family Services. \nWith over 23 years of combined experience working with diverse populations of youth and families in a variety of settings both in the USA and abroad\, Anna and Sarah’s past and present relationships with trauma-affected youth and families inform and shape their perspectives and presentation. While protecting client confidentiality is critical for all mental health professionals\, a primary tenet of trauma-informed care is empowerment\, voice\, and choice. Meeting trauma-affected individuals where they are\, respecting their right to make choices in their lives\, and empowering them to use their voices will be emphasized as essential parts of trauma-informed service provision.
