Trainer: Michael Culliton, B. Ed.
For those who work with youth, managing challenging behaviors that interfere with development, learning or success can be both frustrating and exhausting. This workshop will review challenging behaviors related to aggression, non-compliance and attention-seeking, and will provide a framework for intervening with these behaviors. Participants will analyze the effectiveness of their current approach and develop insights into what is happening when attempts at intervention do not work. They will gain a clear understanding of how to structure interactions for positive outcomes and will be provided with a coaching model to bring out the best in youth who exhibit challenging behaviors.

Call For Presenters!
Evergreen’s annual conference brings together youth-serving professionals and parents to share information, network, and build skills. In 2016, our focus is Creating Hope & Healing for Youth & Families with emphasis on positive behavior management, parent and family support strategies, reproductive health for teens, cultural competency, LGBT youth issues, fetal alcohol exposure, alcohol and drug use, and more. We seek presenters who will discuss real-world solutions being implemented with families and communities in our local area and statewide. We want presenters who are passionate about their topics and willingly share their personal stories and experience, along with their professional expertise.

2016 Annual Conference for Professionals in Brain Injury - Request for PresentersThe Minnesota Brain Injury Alliance is busy planning the 31st Annual Conference
for Professionals in Brain Injury, which will be held on April 7 and 8, 2016 at
the Earle Brown Heritage Center in Brooklyn Center, Minnesota. We would like to
invite you to submit a proposal or proposals for breakout sessions. Proposals are due by November 20.
Minnesota Fathers & Families Network (MFFN) recognizes that fathers play a critical role in healthy parenting. Fatherhood in the 21st century comes with challenges that are unique to fathers...including married and unmarried fathers, custodial and noncustodial fathers, teen fathers, stepfathers, grandfathers, foster fathers, etc. We can see a shift in expectations across cultures and socio-economic levels over the past decades. How men choose to meet these expectations, and how as fatherhood professionals we best support fathers today continues to be a challenge.
For our 13th annual Minnesota Fatherhood & Family Services Summit, we are bringing other professionals together to share and discuss the many ways that fathers contribute to the health and well-being of their children and best practices to serve fathers today.
We invite you to submit a proposal to share information and highlight best practices and successes with fathers and their families from all regions of Minnesota.
Instructions: Please review the Minnesota Fathers & Families Network mission, the conference theme and goals. Complete the Presenter Proposal Form and email it to Tammy Dunrud, MFFN Coordinator, at td4mffn@gmail.com. Proposals are due by Monday, October 12, 2015.
MFFN will review proposals and notify presenters in late October. Questions? Call Tammy at 651.303-1219
