Save the Date: Washtenaw Area Council for Children Annual Conference

The Washtenaw Area Council for Children announces its Annual Conference for 2010: 
Save the Date: Friday, April 16, 2010 from 9 AM - 12:30 PM at Washtenaw County ISD.


This year's presentation, "Hurt, Rage, and Emotional Maltreatment - Is there anything we can do?," is an intense workshop focusing on the root cause of rage and how connected it is to emotional maltreatment and neglect. Love and attachment as the direct opposite of "benign" neglect and behavioral and emotional effects of the neglected child will be discussed. Also included will be a discussion on corrective measures for the emotionally maltreated child. This workshop will be appropriate for those who work with all ages of children.

The presenter is Phillip D. Hamberg, LMSW, LMFT who has experience presenting in areas of early childhood development, early childhood trauma, childhood violence, K-12 classroom behavior problems and pre-school behavioral problems. We will again be applying for Social Work CEUs for this conference.
