GU - Keeping the Brain in Mind

GLADNEY UNIVERSITY: The purpose of Gladney University is to equip clients and professionals with the knowledge they need to help provide positive and healthy outcomes for the children we serve. Gladney University provides adoptive parents with education and support before, during and after their adoption. This education and support helps Gladney provide the finest adoption experience possible, and its part of Gladney’s promise of family for life. Additionally, Gladney University provides medical professionals, counselors, social service advocates and community members with cutting edge continuing education programs by offering relevant and engaging, web-based and in person educational adoption and child welfare resources. Gladney is uniquely positioned to provide outstanding training to parents and professionals because of our 130-year history of serving families and children. Our staff is highly qualified, experienced and compassionate. This combination creates dynamic and very successful training programs.

DESCRIPTION

Regardless of whether you are a parent, a counselor, a teacher, a social worker or anyone who serves others, a basic understanding of how the brain works can be extremely helpful in increasing effectiveness with your interactions with others. Come learn about the ideal world for brain development, the effects of abuse and neglect on the brain and the ways in which we can keep the brain in mind when working with others. It's not rocket science, but it is brain science!!

Please join us immediately after this workshop for Happy Hour with appetizers, drinks, and tours of our newly re-purposed Gladney Home!
