SUMMARY:Snorkeling into healing:   A Pre- Conference Reset
DESCRIPTION:In preparation of the “CCAW Out of Bounds Conference”\, Russell and Myra Strand would like to invite you to an afternoon snorkeling trip for a pre-conference reset. \n\n\n\nSnorkeling and Its Benefits for Your Nervous System \n\n\nSnorkeling provides a captivating and immersive experience that can positively influence your nervous system\, helping to restore balance and promote relaxation in several ways: \n\n\nStimulating the Parasympathetic Nervous System: Immersion in water\, especially cold water\, can trigger the mammalian dive reflex\, which activates the parasympathetic nervous system (PNS). This part of your nervous system governs the “rest and digest” response\, leading to reduced stress\, a slower heart rate\, lowered blood pressure\, and an overall feeling of calm. Even splashing cold water on your face can initiate this calming response. \n\n\nReconnecting with Nature: Snorkeling allows you to reconnect with the natural world\, especially the soothing effects of being in\, near\, or on water—often referred to as the “blue mind” state. Spending time in natural blue spaces has been shown to lower cortisol levels (the stress hormone) and boost the production of mood-enhancing chemicals like endorphins\, serotonin\, and oxytocin\, which can help alleviate stress and anxiety. \n\n\nMindful Breathing and Relaxation: Navigating while snorkeling requires intentional and controlled breathing through the snorkel\, similar to breathing techniques used in meditation and yoga. This rhythmic\, focused breathing can help calm your nervous system\, foster relaxation\, and even alleviate chronic pain by stabilizing oxygen flow and blocking disruptive nerve signals. \n\n\nSensory Immersion: The underwater environment offers a rich sensory experience—the sensation of weightlessness\, gentle currents\, muted sounds\, and the vibrant marine life—that can be deeply therapeutic. This mindful immersion encourages presence\, reduces mental clutter\, and promotes a sense of peace and tranquility. \n\n\nPhysical Activity and Mood Boost: Although snorkeling is a low-impact activity\, it still promotes physical movement\, which stimulates the release of endorphins—your body’s natural mood lifters. These chemicals help reduce feelings of anxiety and depression\, enhancing overall emotional well-being. \n\n\nSnorkeling combines physiological and psychological benefits that work synergistically to “reground” and soothe your nervous system. This practice can foster deep relaxation\, improve mood\, and contribute to a greater sense of overall well-being.

SUMMARY:Human Centric Interviewing
DESCRIPTION:Myra and Russ will deliver: \nThe goal of the HCI training is to develop the knowledge and essential skills required to conduct and document interviews with humans who may have experienced trauma and/or victimization. \nDevelopment of various types of interviews & interrogations\, child forensic interviews\, and trauma informed interviews have all paved the way in which we seek to understand the human experience of victims\, suspects\, and witnesses of crime and tragedy. As we continue to learn about human behavior\, memory\, impact of trauma\, neurodiversity\, intersectionality\, etc. we need to continue to apply advances in our knowledge and forge ahead to improve our practices. \nIt’s not just trauma or a traumatic experience we need to understand – it’s so much more – many other factors can affect ability and motivation to recall. We need to seek understanding and connection through an intersectional lens to better comprehend behavior and recall including past experiences\, neurodiversity\, complex trauma\, non-linear memory\, polychronic time\, environment\, and genetics to name just a few. We must connect with and understand the human in front of us as a human being facing what can sometimes be an inhuman system – we must be authentically human most of all.

SUMMARY:The Michigan Justice for Children Conference
DESCRIPTION:Russell Strand will deliver:\nPlenary I: My Journey from Law Enforcement to Victim Advocacy to Prevention … and Beyond: Lessons Learned \nWorking within the criminal justice system can often be challenging to say least and demoralizing and potentially harmful to say the most. Our individual and collect journeys matter. We don’t have to walk alone – we are literally here to support\, guide\, and care for each other – regardless of the profession or professions we chose.  Join us for a transformative presentation\, where the presenter will share deeply personal stories of abuse and triumph with the goal of inspiring and connecting with attendees on a profound level. This journey\, although personal\, will encourage attendees to reflect on their own journeys\, challenges\, triumphs\, and hope. Through this presentation\, participants will learn to recognize the importance of empathy\, compassion\, and understanding in victim advocacy\, understand the challenges faced in law enforcement investigations\, and discover strategies for effective prevention efforts. By the end of the session\, attendees will be able to more fully empathize with survivors of abuse\, identify key strategies for supporting victims\, and develop a deeper understanding of the interconnected roles of law enforcement\, advocacy\, and prevention in creating safer communities and a better world. \nMyra Strand will deliver:\nAiming for Safety: Trauma-Informed Harm Reduction\, Risk Assessment and Safety Planning \nThis workshop will provide advocates and allied professionals with comprehensive knowledge and practical skills in trauma-informed and healing- centered: harm reduction\, risk assessment\, and safety planning. \nEmphasizing self-efficacy and self-determination\, this training will highlight the importance of an intersectional approach when working with trauma-impacted individuals\, paying particular attention to vulnerable and/or rural populations as they experience higher victimization rates. \nThe presenter will also discuss various risk assessment tools and lethality indicators. She will then help participants to use these tools while working with clients to create a comprehensive plan to navigate and/or reduce harm in potentially dangerous situations. \nParticipants will learn how to create a tailored safety plan based on the individual needs of each client. There will be a special emphasis on the importance of safe exit planning- as this is a matter of life and death for many. \nRussell Strand will deliver:\nComprehensive Integrated Primary Prevention – It’s a Brave New World! \nIn this presentation\, we will delve into the concept of integrated primary prevention of harmful behaviors\, with a specific focus on interpersonal violence\, sexual assault\, and self-harm. We will explore the theoretical foundations and practical applications of this approach within the context of the criminal justice system. We will begin by introducing the Social-Ecological Model (SEM) developed by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). We will examine how the SEM provides a comprehensive framework for understanding the factors that contribute to harmful behaviors\, emphasizing the importance of addressing multiple levels of influence\, including individual\, relationship\,community\, and societal factors. Next\, we will explore the Broken Windows Theory\, which proposes that visible signs of disorder and neglect in a community can contribute to an environment that fosters crime and harmful behaviors. We will discuss the implications of this theory for prevention strategies within the criminal justice system and examine how addressing minor infractions and maintaining community order can have a significant impact on reducing more serious crimes. \nClick here to register:\nhttps://web.cvent.com/event/84323041-f2f6-45cf-9aca-3e2ca08ed917/summary
