This training is not sponsored by the Anne Arundel County Mental Health Agency

Up to 18 CEs

At the 2026 Child & Adolescent Mental Health Conference, attendees will learn how to work with the nervous system—using practical, neuroscience-informed approaches designed for what you're facing right now, including how to:

  • Read nervous system states in real time—before behavior escalates or engagement collapses
  • Shift sessions out of survival without forcing insight, compliance, or performance
  • Intervene earlier and more effectively, instead of spending weeks managing fallout and repairing ruptures
  • Feel the moment change happens—when a child settles, capacity opens, and connection becomes possible again

Includes sessions focused on:
Attachment-based and trauma-responsive practice • Creative and expressive therapies • Anxiety and emotion-regulation skills • Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT) • Neurodiversity-affirming autism care • School-based, culturally responsive interventions • Navigating digital-era stress


This conference is designed for counselors, social workers, psychologists, marriage and family therapists, occupational therapist, speech-language pathologists, educators, and other professionals who work with young clients as well as those who are just starting out.
