Thea Young (Hickey), LCSW

This workshop is designed for human service and clinical professionals looking to increase their understanding of the concept of permanency and the implications a lack of permanency has across all domains including educational, therapeutic, and community-based settings. Participants will gain an increased understanding of why it is important for all stakeholders to prioritize permanency, as well as obtain concrete skills and resources to help navigate these conversations.

The Value of Community Re-Integration Support in Pediatric Patients: A Trauma-Informed Lens
March 4, 2026 | 5:00 p.m. EST
Presenter:
Jacqueline Cola, MS, CCLS
Description: This workshop will highlight the importance of supporting children’s transition out of the hospital setting and into the community, with a multitude of factors to consider. In addition to hospitalization, this is adaptable to various traumatic or life-altering events children may face, such as the loss of a loved one, community tragedies, and those seeking asylum. Children who have these lived experiences face a sense of unpredictability after a hospitalization or other traumatic life event, seeking emotional safety and “a new normal”. We will discuss the value of anticipating stressors that children may face as they re-unite with their peers, how to prepare for navigating questions those in the community may ask them, and building resilience after having an altered-sense of self.
