We would never tell someone with a broken leg that they should stop wallowing and get it together. We don’t consider taking medication for an ear infection something to be ashamed of. We shouldn’t treat mental health conditions any differently.

Event Details
Join the DC SpEd Hub for this free, informative training to learn more about the who, what, when, why, and how of special education transition plans. The Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) is the federal special education law that recognizes the importance of preparing youth for success after high school and ensures that transition planning for students who receive special education services evaluates needs, strengths, and skills required for a student to move from high school to postsecondary life, whether it be transitioning to career, college, or independent living!
While transition plans begin at age 14 in the District of Columbia, we recommend this session to families with students of all ages – it’s never too early or too late to learn about transition strategies and supports! Our Family Empowerment Series are great opportunities for caregivers to receive information to answer caregivers’ questions about how best to support their students with disabilities. Don’t let this fantastic opportunity pass you by! We can’t wait to see you there!
This training will be held:
Date: Monday, January 27, 2025
Time: 7:00 PM – 8:00 PM
Location: On Zoom
Registrants will receive the Zoom link on the day of the training.

Si bien los planes de transición comienzan a los 14 años en el Distrito de Columbia, recomendamos esta sesión a las familias con estudiantes de todas las edades: ¡nunca es demasiado temprano ni demasiado tarde para aprender sobre estrategias y apoyos para la transición!Nuestras Series de Empoderamiento Familiar son grandes oportunidades para que los cuidadores reciban información para responder a las preguntas de los cuidadores sobre la mejor manera de apoyar a sus estudiantes con discapacidades. ¡No deje pasar esta fantástica oportunidad! ¡No podemos esperar a verte allí!

Event Details
The Center for Health and Health Care in Schools, in partnership with the Wendt Center, is offering a training on facilitating school-based groups for children and youth who have experienced grief, loss, and trauma to members of our DC School Behavioral Health Community of Practice (DC CoP).
January 31st from 9:30-1pm ET
This is the third training in the series and focused on interventions for middle/high school students. Participants must have attended “Part 1A: Helping Children and Youth Heal in a New Era of Grief” to attend this workshop.
Holding Space of Healing: Grief Interventions for Adolescents
Children and adolescents are impacted by grief at astounding numbers. Recent data estimates that over 200,000 children have experienced the death of a caregiver due to COVID. And we know that many more have experienced caregiver death due to other illness, accidents and community violence. The prior school-year saw a significant increase in the number of children/adolescents reporting the death of someone important to them. We know grief has entered schools in record numbers. And, when a child or adolescent experiences the death of someone important, their entire world is impacted, and important questions can surface. Who will take care of me? Will I remember this person? Why did this happen?
Adults who understand the developmental impact of grief and can provide appropriate support are central to the healing process in children and adolescents.
NOTE: There is a pre-requisite for this course. You must have attended “Part 1A: Helping Children and Youth Heal in a New Era of Grief” before attending this workshop.
Instructor: Emily Pryor, LICSW
Emily Pryor is a grief and trauma psychotherapist at the Wendt Center, where she provides office-based therapy for children and adults. Before joining the Wendt Center, Emily worked as a school-based mental health practitioner in the KIPP DC school network, primarily supporting middle school students. She is passionate about helping clients heal from grief and trauma, practice self-compassion and self-advocacy, and explore the importance of play and movement. Emily is dedicated to supporting youth in becoming more embodied and present.
