Thank You for Asking
When you only get called in for a crisisWhen the call only comes at the crisis point, nobody has much capacity left. Kelli McDermott and Julia Sayles start with who made the referral and what they were told you're there to do. Julia then makes the case that "wait and see" is the best time to bring a consultant in. The free poster from this session helps a program recognize that moment for itself.Presenters: Kelli McDermott, LICSW, Julia Sayles, LMHC, IECMH-E
When a child's behavior isn't safeKelli McDermott and Trista Vonada start with the question underneath the question. Who's defining safety here, and what's happening in the teacher's body when the behavior starts? Physical safety and emotional safety both count. The adult is the strategy. The free poster from this session is a prompt for those hard moments. It isn't a script.Presenters: Kelli McDermott, LICSW, Trista Vonada
