Strong Foundations Conference in Minnesota

As we end Prematurity Awareness Month, a month that is near and dear to my heart, I begin to look toward January 2011 when I will be presenting at the Strong Foundations Conference in Minnesota. This conference is designed to target a healthy start for little ones. Specifically, I will be presenting on Infant Trauma and Healing. Many of us forget that even though infants do not speak or have conscious memories, they can still be traumatized by events. In relation to prematurity just take a minute to think about how many medical procedures are done on a premature infant in just five minutes after they are born? These medical procedures are necessary and life-saving, but when the child is discharged from the NICU there is a possibility that other healing needs to take place. An emotional healing that relates to trauma and somatic body memories. You can learn more about this during my presentation at the Strong Foundations Conference in Minnesota in January 2011.
