Salutogenisis: The origins of health and how to promote resilience and wellbeing
Pediatricians / pediatric providers are the go-to professional families turn to with concerns about their child’s health and well-being. Nearly 93% of children under age 18 years visit a medical provider annually and 68% of children seen in a pediatric health care setting have experienced traumatic or significant adverse events. Over the last 2 decades research has shown that Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) can lead to a cascade of negative health outcomes : developmental, behavioral, physical, emotional and mental. The good news is pediatricians and pediatric healthcare providers have a unique opportunity to identify, address and prevent Adverse Childhood Experiences. By having an appreciation and understanding of the universal human stress response and how the environment children are exposed to effects biology which ultimately drives behavior and development, pediatricians / pediatric providers are perfectly positioned to impact current and future resilience and wellbeing of the children and teens they encounter.

Purpose: The Cultural Revitalization Initiative seeks to encourage all sectors to create the opportunity for “belonging” through continued education and the transformation of policy and procedure that results in “othering.” The Initiative hopes to shift cultural norms by creating opportunities to share a variety of cultural practices, foods, rituals, ceremony, arts, various codes of ethics and traditional values. We hope to reconnect BIPOC to their sacred traditions and cultivate respect, safety and equity for all people.

Dr Acosta- "Reimagining Trauma Through the Healing-Centered Paradigm"
2022-12-07 11:00 - 12:30 | Virtual
Drawing on extensive research and professional practice, this interactive keynote invites participants into an exploration of how practitioners and scholars have deliberately integrated the notion of healing into K-12 curricula, community health initiatives and professional education to support and go beyond focusing on trauma. With the many challenges and crises unfolding before us–ecological disequilibrium, political polarization, socio-economic inequality and health disparities–people who are interested in supporting others are challenged with how to take care of themselves, those who they teach and the communities within which they work. Also, the COVID-19 global pandemic has exacerbated the preexisting conditions that communities, especially those who are most vulnerable, have to contend with. This workshop provides a foundation for integrating healing-centered education into one’s professional teaching and working philosophy in order to reimagine wellness and our perspective on trauma itself.

Dr. Angel Acosta works to bridge the fields of leadership, social justice, and mindfulness. He is director of the Garrison
Institute’s Fellowship Program and creative director at the NYC Healing Collective, a community initiative curating work and insights at the intersection of healing, wellness, and societal transformation. As a member of the 400 Years of Inequality Project, he designed the Contemplating 400 Years of Inequality Experience to support communities in understanding structural inequality through a contemplative approach.
Angel completed his doctorate degree in the curriculum and teaching department at Teachers College, Columbia University. His research explored healing-centered education as a promising framework for educational leadership development and community care. For close to a decade, he served as a program director for the national nonprofit CFES Brilliant Pathways. With a passion for helping young people to think globally and act locally, he directed and taught at a global leadership study abroad program in Rome through the award-winning organization Leadership exCHANGE. After participating in the Mind and Life Institute’s Academy for Contemplative Leadership, Angel began consulting and developing learning experiences that weave leadership development with conversations about inequality and healing to support educational leaders through contemplative and restorative practices.
Angel is a proud first-generation Dominican-American and graduate of SUNY Plattsburgh. Lately, he has become curious about the ways in which technology can be used as a force for advancing racial equity and dismantling structural inequality.

Trauma Informed Nutrition
2023-02-15 12:00 - 13:00 | Virtual
Join us for guest speaker Kristi Mollner, Registered Dietician with the Maricopa Department of Public Health for an enlightening discussion on Trauma Informed Nutrition.
Food can provide nourishment and joy. Food can also be a source of adversity and trauma such as with food insecurity and eating disorders. Children are especially at risk for experiencing food-related traumas. Over 1 in 4 Arizona children are considered food insecure. Further, 95% of eating disorders are found in adolescents and young adults between the ages of 12 and 25. Schools are in the position to recognize and respond to food-related trauma by approaching child nutrition through a trauma-informed lens. Kristi Mollner, a registered dietitian nutritionist with Maricopa County Department of Public Health, will provide an overview of food-related traumas, as well as offer simple, yet effective, ways schools can cultivate positive and healing food environments.
