Thank you! “What Happened to You?” A Dialogue with Dr. Bruce PerryAugust 31, 2021 N/A Through deeply personal conversations, Prevent Child Abuse America board member and renowned brain and trauma expert Dr. Bruce Perry and Oprah Winfrey offer a groundbreaking and profound shift from asking "What's wrong with you?" to "What happened to you?" in their new book What Happened to You? Conversations on Trauma, Resilience, and Healing. Focusing on understanding people, behavior, and ourselves, this new book opens the door to resilience and healing in a proven, powerful way. Please join us August 31, 4:00–6:00 PM (Central), for a conversation between Prevent Child Abuse America president & CEO, Dr. Melissa Merrick, and Dr. Perry, who will discuss the new book and dive into core issues of this important work for the prevention of child abuse and neglect. "Through this lens we can build a renewed sense of personal self-worth and ultimately recalibrate our responses to circumstances, situations, and relationships. It is, in other words, the key to reshaping our very lives." |

Rachel Waddingham: Working with Self-Harm: A Relational ApproachSeptember 13-14, 2021 N/A This online workshop runs over 2 x 0.5 days, from 1pm – 5pm on Monday 13 and Tuesday 14 September 2021. Whilst there is a growing awareness of the prevalence of self-harm, it remains a challenging area for many who are trying to support those who use it as a survival strategy and/or means of expressing difficult feelings. This workshop will provide a space for anyone who is involved in supporting people who self-harm to develop a greater understanding of the experience, their own reactions and ways of navigating challenging situations. It is facilitated by someone with personal experience of self-harm, as well as the experience of working with young people and adults who self-harm in a variety of settings.

A Disorder 4 Everyone! The Online Festival 2021 & CALL ME CRAZYSeptember 17, 2021 N/A 12 hours of change-making presentations, conversations, poetry, panel discussions and Paula J Caplan’s remarkable play!
About this eventIn September 2020 two and a half thousand people from over 15 different countries registered for the A Disorder for Everyone Online Festival.AD4E brought together wisdom, experience and passion for change in an online festival full of inspiring contributors who all challenged the mainstream medicalised paradigm of emotional distress that labels and pathologises people’s suffering.The feedback we received in the weeks and months that followed the event was overwhelmingly positive and encouraging and it provided us with yet more evidence that the appetite for this discussion is growing exponentially.Many, many people have simply had enough of people’s stories and experiences being negated and dismissed by scientifically questionable labels. They want change, and they want to be part of a movement that is demanding change.This September we are doing it all again. Please sign up to join us and please help to spread the word as much as possible.Hosts:Lucy Johnstone, Jo Watson, John Wilson, Akima ThomasA Disorder 4 Everyone!
