When we’re armed with the neuroscience of trauma and toxicstress, our burn-out and compassion fatigue makes sense, and we can begin to take stepstoward healing. It really is possible to be with our clients in their valid experiences ofoverwhelm, burn-out, helplessness, and hopelessness without succumbing to thoseexperiences ourselves. This keynote address will leave you feeling validated and hopeful.You’ll walk about with practical tips that you’ll be able to implement immediately, beginningan ongoing practice of being with yourself in order to be with your clients.7:30 AM - 5 PMTUESDAY - MAY 21Check-in/Registration 8:30 AM - 8:45 AM8:45 AM - 10:15 AMCoffee and morning snacks availableWelcome and Announcements Honoring the 2024 Hiram Fitzgerald Award WinnerLOWER LEVEL, KALAMAZOO FOYERMAIN LEVEL, BALLROOMMAIN LEVEL, BALLROOMKEYNOTE PRESENTER ~ROBYN GOBBEL, MSW1.5 CE/TRAINING HOUR10:15 AM - 10:45 AM30-minute Break ~ Check out the Exhibitors in Kalamazoo Room ~ snack available7:30 AM - 6:30 PMExhibitors available all day ~ be sure to stop by!

Keynote Address - From “Ghosts in the Nursery” to “Ghosts in Society”: “Browning” our GuidingConcepts to Better Support Families Within the field of infant mental health, across numerous service sectors we see disparities inaccess to care, service utilization, and attrition that are linked to aspects of diversityincluding ethnicity, race, and socio-economic status. How do we understand these disparities,and what can we do to better engage and serve diverse populations? During this talk, we willreflect on core concepts that guide our work as infant mental health practitioners andconsider how we might “brown” these concepts. The “browning” metaphor is meant to helpus think about how many of our guiding concepts could benefit from additional “cooking,”from the heat of new discourse, and from the integration of diverse ideas. As new “chefs”have entered the field, we have recognized the need to broaden our lens and ensure that thefoundational theories that guide are work incorporate historical and socio-culturalperspectives.7:30 AM - 5 PMWEDNESDAY - MAY 22Check-in/Registration 8:30 AM - 8:45 AM8:45 AM - 10:15 AMCoffee and morning snacks availableWelcome and Announcements Honoring the 2024 Deborah Weatherston Award WinnerLOWER LEVEL, KALAMAZOO FOYERMAIN LEVEL, BALLROOMMAIN LEVEL, BALLROOMKEYNOTE PRESENTER ~ DR.
