How can we be good stewards, caretakers, and advocates for our LGBTQ+ youth? How do we create safe space?  What does it all look like, and how do we have those conversations with our kids and those that are involved in their growth and care?
Please join us. This is your chance to ask all the questions that you’ve been uncomfortable to ask. This is your chance to participate in education and dialogue that will improve life-outcomes for our LGBTQ+ youth, and maybe save some lives. I’m looking forward to seeing you all.

PCAIN Parent Café: Be SMART - Gun Safety

Title: Be SMART – Gun Safety
Date: June 15, 2022
Time: Noon-1:00 pm (EST)
Description: The Be SMART framework is designed to help parents and adults normalize conversations about gun safety and take responsible actions that can prevent child gun deaths and injuries.
The Be SMART campaign was launched to raise awareness that secure gun storage–storing guns locked, unloaded, and separate from ammunition–can save children’s lives. Be SMART emphasizes that it’s an adult responsibility to keep kids from accessing guns, and that every adult can play a role in keeping kids and communities safer.
Secure — all guns in your home and vehicles
Model — responsible behavior around guns
Ask — about the presence of unsecured guns in other homes
Recognize — the role of guns in suicide
Tell – your peers to be SMART
Our Parent’s Café is more of a facilitated discussion instead of one of our regular trainings/webinars, Training Credits will not be available.

Her day job is the Quality-of-Life Unit Administrator for the Marion County Prosecutor’s Office.

PCAIN 2022 "Breaking the Cycle" Webinar - Supporting Wellbeing: An Introduction to Mind Body Medicine

Topic: “Supporting Wellbeing: An Introduction to Mind Body Medicine”
Date: June 24, 2022
Time: 11:30a-1:00p
Description: Stress is a reality of life, especially during these unprecedented times. In addition to our own personal experiences of stress, we often absorb the stress and trauma of others. Those who work with or care for children and youth are particularly vulnerable. Yet, we often overlook addressing caregiver stress, especially prolonged and toxic stress, as being foundational to supporting our children, youth, families, and communities. Through the lens of Mind Body Medicine, this presentation will provide you with the knowledge and skills to support your own self-regulation and wellbeing, both individually and collectively.

Speaker: Christy Gauss, MSW, LSW, Ignite Wellbeing LLC
Speaker Bio: As a co-founder of Ignite Wellbeing, Christy brings a depth of experience as a social worker who has dedicated her career to addressing child, youth, and adult wellbeing. Her experience includes ownership of SCP Consultants, a consulting company focused on supporting whole child development in schools. She is also the former Mental Health Facilitator for the Indiana School Mental Health Initiative at Indiana University, as well as the System of Care Coordinator for the Indiana Department of Education. Her strengths lie in collaboration, building connections, and big picture thinking.
​Christy lives in Indianapolis with her husband, and they have two grown children. She is an advanced practitioner in Mind Body Medicine. She earned her BA in Political Science from George Washington University and her MSW from Indiana University. Christy currently serves on the boards for The Children’s Policy and Law Initiative and Better Youth Outcomes and believes that to foster wellbeing in our organizations, community and world, we must each begin by healing ourselves.

This year marks the 46th Anniversary of Prevent Child Abuse Indiana, a Division of The Villages and the prevention education and resources they provide for children and families in our state!
