Supporting Children of Undocumented Parents: A Trauma-Informed Approach for Social Workers

This live workshop explores the profound and often overlooked traumatic stress experienced by children growing up in undocumented and mixed-status families in the era of mass deportation, surveillance, and heightened immigration enforcement. Drawing from trauma-informed and family systems perspectives, participants will examine how chronic fear, separation threats, and systemic discrimination shape attachment, development, and identity among these children. Through case examples, current research, and reflection, we will consider the emotional, relational, and educational toll of living in constant uncertainty while identifying practical, culturally responsive strategies for promoting safety, connection, and healing in clinical, school, and community settings.

1/15/2026 12:45 PM - 4:00 PM

Reflective Practice 3.0: Creating a Culture of Curiosity

Social Workers have a long tradition of emphasizing the importance of Reflective Practice as both a professional responsibility and a safeguard for providing equitable services to our clients. An unexamined professional easily falls prey to the common pitfalls of clinical practice—externalizing blame, over-surveilling our clients, becoming reactive, helpless and hopeless, and implementing harmful interventions without due diligence to our own biases.

Suicide Assessment, Treatment, and Management (1/23/2026 8:00 AM - 5:00 PM)
1/23/2026 8:00 AM - 5:00 PM

Suicide Assessment, Treatment, and Management

The Washington State House passed the Matt Adler Suicide Assessment, Treatment, and Management Training Act of 2012 on February 10th, 2012. This act adds a new section to chapter 43.70 RCW and requires initial and ongoing training in suicide prevention for Chemical Dependency Professionals, Licensed Social Workers, and other professions. In the Surgeon General’s 2012 National Strategy for Suicide Prevention: Goals and Objectives for Action, she emphasized the importance of instituting “training for all health, mental health, substance abuse, and human services professionals concerning suicide risk assessment and recognition, treatment, management, and aftercare interventions.” This emphasis on training is a consistent theme throughout this report. Another theme is the importance of developing and promoting “effective clinical and professional practice.” This course is designed to help achieve these objectives. The text and material for this course were chosen because they are evidence-based and nationally recognized. The course will review Motivational and Targeted Case Management. Any additional course material will be chosen using the same high standards of “evidence-based”, “emerging practice”, or “best practice”.

1/23/2026 12:00 PM - 1:00 PM

The Effects of Childhood Trauma on Adults: Building Resiliency to Thrive

Adults who have experienced traumatic events as children can present with a myriad of complex symptoms and dysfunctional lifestyles later in life. Studies show that Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACE’s) can have long-term profound effects on your physical, mental, and emotional health. ACE’s can affect how adults respond to anxiety-producing situations, how they communicate with others, and how they experience life overall. This interactive workshop will assist attendees with understanding how trauma from ACE’s “shows up” in adulthood, will inform attendees of the long-term effects of ACE’s, and will identify ways adults can build long-term resiliency.
