Save The Date - Trauma and Attachment Conference, Oct 2017
The Attachment and Trauma Treatment Centre for Healing (ATTCH) is holiding it's annual Trauma and Attachment Conference on October 7 & 8, 2013.
Speakers include Dr. Daniel Siegel (author of the Whole Brained Child and Parenting from the Inside Out) & Dr. Cathy Malchiodi (author of Trauma-Informed Practices with Children and Adolescents and Creative Interventions with Traumatized Children).
Dr. Siegel - Resiliency and Neural Integration: Harnessing the power of relationships and reflection to cultivate and maintain well-being
This presentation will immerse participants in an intensive experiential and didactic overview of the power of relationships and reflection to promote the growth of integrative fibers of the brain. Seen through the lens of the interdisciplinary field called Interpersonal Neurobiology, resilience can be seen to reflect how a set of nine functions are cultivated including bodily regulation, compassionate communication, emotional balance, flexibility, fear modulation, insight, empathy, morality and intuition. These functions emerge from the integrative fibers of the prefrontal cortical areas that coordinate and balance a wide range of neural circuits. We will review how both secure parent-child relationships and mindfulness practices promote these functions, and how mental health in fact may emerge from the process of integration. We'll dive into a "wheel of awareness" reflective practice that can be used to promote both mindful states as well as neural integration. The benefit for clinicians and other care providers is to promote resilience for those working with highly stressed and traumatized individuals.
Cathy Malchiodi will be presenting for a full day.
Resilience and Trauma-Informed Practice: Expressive Arts Approaches for Helpers
This presentation covers the basics of trauma-informed practice and the importance of resiliency-building in addressing trauma and loss. It also introduces attendees to the foundations of trauma-informed expressive arts approaches as essential methods for addressing traumatic events, including mass tragedies and violence. The emphasis is on using these approaches to address the body’s response to stress and the value of sensory-based intervention in work with children, adults and families. This presentation will include lecture, brief film clips and a short hands-on experiential to demonstrate key practices.
Participants will:
1) be able to identify five components of trauma-informed practice;
2) be able to identify at least four expressive arts methods used in trauma-informed intervention;
3) be able to define why sensory-based, arts interventions are essential in reducing the body’s response to stress;
4) be able to define the role of resilience in trauma-informed practice.
Trauma-Informed, Sensory-Based Approaches to Safety and Self-Regulation
This presentation highlights why safety and self-regulation are essential to the early stages of trauma intervention and why these are essential components in reducing the impact of stress reactions. Examples of arts-based and body-mind approaches with children, adolescents and adults are presented with an emphasis on how these approaches can be applied to ameliorate posttraumatic responses. This presentation includes lecture, brief film clips and hands-on experiences.
Participants will:
1) be able to define the concept of safety as it relates to trauma-informed practice;
2) be able to define the importance of self-regulation as it relates to trauma-informed practice;
3) be able to identify at least three expressive arts methods to explore and enhance the body’s sense of safety;
4) be able to identify at least sensory methods to support self-regulation.
Expressive and Sensory-Based Approaches to Enhance Resilience and Posttraumatic Growth
This session introduces participants to a variety of trauma-informed, expressive arts approaches that support resiliency and posttraumatic growth. Emphasis is on current best practices in the fields of resiliency and positive psychology that support trauma reparation and recovery. Participants will learn several expressive arts-based and sensory techniques to apply to resiliency-building in their work and how to adapt strength-based approaches to counseling with children, adults and families. This session includes lectures, group participation and indepth hands-on experientials
Participants will:
1) be able to define the concepts of resilience and posttraumatic growth in relation to trauma recovery;
2) be able to identify at least five characteristics of resilience;
3) be able to identify at least five expressive arts approaches to support resilience and posttraumatic growth;
4) be able to describe why self-compassion is a key factor in trauma recovery.

Local multi-discipline centre addresses impact of trauma
New Niagara business to provide attachment parenting, trauma-intervention, and self-care
Mar. 11, 2013 (St. Catharines, ON) - A new couselling-based business will help families and the community deal with traumatic events. Opening this week, the Attachment and Trauma Centre for Healing (ATTACH) will reduce trauma through preventive approaches like attachment parenting. In addition, the centre will provide evidence-based interventions for individuals currently suffering from acute trauma such as divorce, loss of income or violence.
“We know that one in four Canadians experience trauma,” says Lori Gill, founder of ATTCH. “After 15 years of practice, I’ve observed a direct correlation between complex trauma and future addictions. Families must learn how healthy attachments promote future resilience and how they can support themselves or their children following trauma. ATTCH focuses on sensory approaches to regulate the body and the mind shifting from a state of chaos to calm. Not only does this benefit families, but it can benefit our community and make it a healthier place.”
On Wednesday, March 13 at 11 a.m. the opening of ATTCH will be commemorated with a ribbon cutting at 239 Four Mile Creek Road, Niagara-on-the-Lake. Founder Lori Gill and dignitaries such as Lord Mayor Eke and Member of Parliament Rick Dykstra will be in attendance.
The Attachment and Trauma Treatment Centre for Healing (ATTCH) provides quality trauma and attachment assessment and treatment, and evidence-based trauma-informed training. Holistic wellness services such as yoga, meditation, reiki, and auricular acupuncture are offered to regulate the body and the mind. Services are available for all ages, including early intervention/prevention support for young mothers or individuals who may be at an increased risk for future difficulty.
