Strategies for Youth, Law Enforcement & School Collaboration
This session is for School Administrators and Law Enforcement focusing on creating MOUs for schools and organizations.
Involving law enforcement in the operation of a school system is a tricky undertaking for everyone involved and can lead to both positive and negative outcomes for students and school climate and safety. Structuring the relationship, keeping lines of communication clear, training on how to work with youth, while making expectations clear are key to success.

Cultivating Youth Mattering
Ruby Parker
Mattering and social connectedness are protective factors that reduce the likelihood of poor mental health and other risks such as suicide and substance use. Participants will leave with a grounding in the science of mattering and belonging, learn about statewide data, understand how cultivating mattering is a primary prevention strategy and reducing feelings of loneliness that may lead to suicidal feelings.

10:00-11:00 AM
Trauma Awareness
Allegra Hirsh-Wright
National statistics tells us that 1 in 4 children will experience a traumatic event by the time they are 16 years old. There is increasing evidence that early life stressors, such as abuse, witnessing intimate partner violence and related adverse experiences, cause enduring brain dysfunction that, in turn, affects health and quality of life throughout the lifespan. The “stress response” can cause the areas of a youth’s brain that control fear to become over developed, overpowering other areas of the brain that are required for positive academic learning and social-emotional functioning. The good news is the presence of a supportive adult or environment provides a powerful buffer to youth from the intense stress or anxiety that may occur when they are exposed to violence and trauma. This workshop will increase awareness about the impacts of exposure to violence and trauma on youth, will offer examples of how and why this impact manifests itself as behaviors, and will teach participants ideas and skills to help support a youth, in the moment, when they may be experiencing a traumatic stress reaction.

Professional Resilience
Allegra Hirsh-Wright
When youth are exposed to violence and trauma it impacts their social-emotional functioning and how they interact with, and to, others. Working with youth who are experiencing these challenges can impact the way we think, feel and (re)act. Additionally, these past two years have brought significant stressors that exacerbate these impacts. This workshop will increase participants’ understanding of overwhelm and empathic strain and will offer information about how to identify these in themselves and others. Participants will also learn specific strategies for bolstering resilience protective factors.

Restorative practices are used in education to build connection and a sense of safety within the school and greater community, repair relationships after harmful behavior, reduce suspensions and expulsions, and increase graduation rates. This workshop will explore the connection between Restorative Practices and things you may already be implementing such as PBIS, MTIS, Trauma Informed teaching and Behavioral Threat Assessment, and offer next steps for increasing Restorative Practices in your district. We will also offer a preview of the Restorative Practices Certification currently in development through the Maine School Safety Center, available in the next year.

Understanding and Managing Crisis Behavior for Students with Disabilities: Key Considerations
Erin Frazier
The goal of effective crisis intervention strategies in special education is to understand precursors to challenging behavior and intervene early in order to facilitate individual student success. This means implementing specific strategies that will increase a special education student's chance of success. Crisis management plans effectively support a range of difficulties that make it challenging for students to maintain safe behavior. There are behavioral, emotional and academic interventions to assist special education students in effectively participating in activities in their school community. Crisis interventions level the playing field by minimizing the impact of the student's disability on the educational environment.

Strategies for Youth, Juvenile Justice Jeopardy
Lisa Thurau
We assume young people will know the rules and adhere to them; we punish them when they do not. But that assumption is often misplaced. SFY will showcase its Juvenile Justice Jeopardy games to illustrate how to educate youth about the rules of school and the street using a game format that promotes prevention by engaging youth in conversation with game leaders. SFY will also show its psycho-education version of the game on recognizing and managing feelings resulting from trauma, including a version for LGBTQ+ youth.
