Mary Jadwisiak is a keynote speaker, author and trainer who is internationally sought out for her expertise in behavioral health recovery and suicide prevention. Come learn how depression may present differently in our community. Take the thoughts and turn them into language to relieve the pressure. People with autism are not necessarily depressed before they begin thoughts of suicide. Give them permission to talk out loud.

Sexual Abuse & Trauma Workshop
This workshop will provide participants with a basic understanding of the dynamics of child sexual abuse (including within family environments i.e. intra-familial sexual abuse), utilizing a knowledge about sex offenders and the non-offending partner to help us understand the impact on children, young people and their families. "Offender knowledge" is utilized to help practitioners and "carers" (foster/adoptive/guardianship/relative caregivers) look out for possible warning signs and to assist with investigation, assessment, intervention and the provision of "therapeutic care." It also considers the use of psycho-educational/narrative approaches to working with children and young people affected by sexual abuse and how this can complement other therapeutic approaches.
