SUMMARY:Theiss Training Center: Becoming Trauma Aware\, Informed and Proficient
DESCRIPTION:The University of Pittsburgh’s Theiss Training Center will host a series titled Becoming Trauma Aware\, Informed\, and Proficient from January to March and from May to June. \nLearn More\nThe center’s online course on trauma is designed for professionals working with young children and their families in early childhood settings. The series will be offered periodically and each can be taken as a standalone course or participants can attend all three. \nMicrosoft Teams links will be shared with participants after they register for the courses. \nThe Courses\nBecoming Trauma Aware discusses how the path to becoming trauma proficient begins with a basic understanding of trauma and what young children’s reaction to trauma can look like in the context of their play and behaviors. The session will lay the foundation for understanding trauma by developing an awareness of what it is and how it reveals itself. \nBecoming Trauma Informed will take a step back to look at recent understanding of early brain development. It will share how babies’ brains develop in tandem with close relationship building\, how trauma disrupts relationships and the building of brain architecture during this stage\, and how strong relationships can build resilience. \nToward Trauma Proficiency applies information presented in the second session. Looking at a case study\, the group will analyze trauma and relationship information that may indicate early traumatic experiences impacting the child’s current psychological functioning. It will then assess behaviors presented to identify classroom strengths that support children whose needs are met and understand how to identify children whose history and behaviors may indicate a need to refer for services. \nSchedule and Registration\nThe three courses will be presented from January to March and again from May to June. The course listings include: \nBecoming Trauma Aware\n\nFirst session: Wednesday\, January 15 from 8 a.m. to 9 a.m.; Register online\nSecond session: Thursday\, May 8 from 6 p.m. to 7 p.m.; Register online\n\nBecoming Trauma Informed\n\nFirst session: Wednesday\, January 29 from 8 a.m. to 9:30 a.m.; Register online\nSecond session: Thursday\, May 22 from 6 p.m. to 7:30 p.m.; Register online\n\nToward Trauma Proficiency\n\nFirst session: Wednesday\, February 12 from 8 a.m. to 9:30 a.m.; Register online\nSecond session: Thursday\, June 5 from 6 p.m. to 7:30 p.m.; Register online

SUMMARY:Pittsburgh Arts & Lectures: Kelly Starling Lyons
DESCRIPTION:Celebrating the 120th anniversary of the song “Lift Every Voice and Sing\,” Pittsburgh Arts & Lectures will hold an event with Kelly Starling Lyons about her book that celebrates the Black National Anthem and how it inspired five generations of a family. \nLearn More\nThe song was written by two Florida brothers\, one of whom was the principal of a segregated\, all-Black song\, so that his students could sing it for a tribute to Abraham Lincoln’s birthday in 1900. \nSince then\, the song has provided inspiration and solace for generations of Black families. Mothers and fathers passed it on to their children\, who sang it to their children and grandchildren. It has been sung during significant moments of the Civil Rights Movement and at family gatherings and college graduations. \nInspired by the song’s endurance\, Kelly Starling Lyons and Keith Mallett tell a story about the generations of families who have gained hope and strength from the song. \nStarling Lyons is a founding member of The Brown Bookshelf\, a teaching artist\, and an author of more than 30 books for young readers. \nMore Details\nCopies of “Sing a Song: How Life Every Voice and Sing Inspired Generations” are available at City of Asylum Bookstore. \nThe event will begin at 6 p.m. on Thursday\, January 30 at the Carnegie Library Lecture Hall\, located at 4440 Forbes Avenue. For more information\, visit the event’s web page.
