SUMMARY:Engaging El Families Using a Cultural Lens
DESCRIPTION:Cost\nThom Child and Family Services employees only.  Registration is available here until February 24\, 2023.  Please contact James Young (508-655-5222 x139) for additional information. \n\nDescription\nThe goal of this 2-hour session will be to assist a community of interdisciplinary providers to weave family culture into their service delivery. All relationships are culturally informed and relationships move development forward. Therefore\, relationships embedded in culture (family culture\, dominant culture\, gender culture) inform all developmental progress. \n\nLearning Outcomes\nUpon completion of this workshop\, participants will be able to: \n\nUnderstand their internalized culture as well as associated implicit biases.\nUse curious questions to gain a deeper understanding of the family’s cultural complexity.\nBlend intervention strategies with the family’s cultural and relational expectations necessary for success from their cultural lens.\n\n\nPresenter Biography\nBarbara Stroud\, PhD\, is a licensed psychologist with over three decades worth of culturally informed clinical practice in early childhood development and mental health. She is a founding organizer and the inaugural president (2017-2019) of the California Association for Infant Mental Health\, a ZERO TO THREE Fellow\, and holds prestigious endorsements as an Infant and Family Mental Health Specialist/Reflective Practice Facilitator Mentor. In 2018\, Dr. Stroud was honored with the Bruce D. Perry Spirit of the Child Award. Embedded in all of her trainings and consultations are the activities of reflective practice\, demonstrating cultural attunement\, and holding a social justice lens in the work. Dr. Stroud’s book “How to Measure a Relationship” [published 2012] is improving infant mental health practices around the globe and is now available in Spanish. Her second book\, an Amazon best seller\, “Intentional Living: finding the inner peace to create successful relationships” walks the reader through a deeper understanding of how their brain influences relationships. Both volumes are currently available on Amazon. Additionally\, Dr. Stroud is a contributing author to the text “Infant and early childhood mental health: Core concepts and clinical practice” edited by Kristie Brandt\, Bruce Perry\, Steve Seligman\, & Ed Tronick.
