Believing Does Not Make It So!
Moving from Faith to Facts in the
Message of our Work
Lorraine E. Fox, Ph.D.
In the days of “Outcome Based
Funding” and “Evidence-Based
Practice” those who toil in the
minefield of building relationships with
discouraged, demoralized, and
vulnerable young people must find a
way to talk concretely about how our
work leads to healing and better lives
for those who have been abused and
neglected. We will talk together about
what we know – not believe – to be
true about the results of reparative
relationships between suspicious
children and youth and adults willing to
embrace them: Embrace them as they
scratch, kick, scream, and push us
away. What truths can we find to keep
us engaged, empowered, and
encouraged? When we find these, we
find our voice in proclaiming the worth
of our efforts.

TRAUMA INFORMED CARE
Lorraine E. Fox, Ph.D.
Thursday All Day (9-4:30) WORKSHOP DESCRIPTION
People involved in the world of child welfare cannot help but notice the new call to practicing “Trauma Informed Care”. Such an
approach is being written into the language of licensing and certification bodies and is becoming an expectation of
professionals and para-professionals alike. What is Trauma Informed Care? What is expected of those living or working with
traumatized children and teens? During this workshop we will examine in close detail what makes an experience a “trauma”
and how such experiences result in symptomatic behavior that is often puzzling and challenging. We will also examine how
various people in various roles with traumatized have something unique and special to offer in terms of their healing.
Topics include:
Symptoms of PTSD, including fear, anxiety, sexualized behavior, aggressive acting out, processing errors, behavioral problems
and learned helplessness
Differences between crises and trauma
Primary trauma from abuse and neglect
Secondary trauma from exposure to domestic violence
PTSD and memory problems and how these cause children additional trauma
Interventions for treating PTSD and its various manifestations, including therapy and therapeutic parenting

Closing Keynote Theme:
Getting there is more fun than being there: Reflections on our collective CYC road trip
Getting there is more fun than being there: Reflections on our collective CYC road trip
It's often been said of road trips that getting there is half the fun. I suggest that it's more than half - the point of the journey isn't
actually the destination, it's paying careful attention to what's happening along the way. In this closing talk, I will offer my own
reflections and invite us to look closely, together, at our collective journey as a field. What are some of our successes? What
questions continue to vex us? What obstacles do we need to prepare ourselves to face as we move the field forward?
