PATHS Summer Conference 2022

This conference is planned is planned as an augmentation to our Behavioral Health Project ECHO trainings that are offered for PATHS participants. We had unused HRSA funds available for carryover from the previous grant year, and felt that this was a great opportunity to provide some additional behavioral health training for our PATHS participants.

1. Recognize specific behaviors associated with children of early neglect and trauma
2. Attendees will be able to articulate the complex interplay between mind (psychological) and body (physiological) reactions to trauma, including brain trauma
3. Define toxic stress and developmental trauma
4. Participants will better understand sexual orientation and gender identity within a developmental context.
5. Understand the office based evaluation and family-based treatment for youth with severe obesity

We have invited specific organizations who serve children/families to exhibit at our PATHS summer conference. Exhibitors are by invitation only and are organizations that are tremendous resources for our PATHS enrolled practices and the families they serve. No exhibit fee is being charged, and there are no contracts, as exhibits are by invitation only and not for funding purposes. One exhibitor, Marsha Raulerson, MD, is a member of the PATHS Advisory Committee and a planner for our Project ECHO RSS. She is a tremendous proponent of incorporating reading into a child's life, and is bringing door prizes to give to participants and displaying books that she has found helpful in caring for children with mental health concerns. The other exhibitors are specific agencies who serve children/families and are a resource for our participants. These companies are Alabama Partnership for Children, Reach Out and Read Alabama/AAP, Parenting Assistance Line (PAL), PIRC - Children's of Alabama, and Marsha Raulerson, MD.
