Children who act out sexually can present a challenging and complex diagnostic picture. This workshop will present a typology of sexual behavior problems in children, contrasting each category to what would be developmentally usual and expected. Implications for placements and treatment planning will be discussed for impulsive, attachment-seeking, neuro-atypical, trauma reactive, compulsive and exploitative sexual behaviors. We will focus on children in alternative care such as foster care, special school settings, residential treatment centers and inpatient hospitals.

Explore the concept of hope and the unique needs of individuals and families as they approach the end of life. During this deeply personal time, people face a range of physical, emotional, spiritual, and psychological challenges that call for compassionate, personalized care. Central to this experience is the evolving nature of hope. Developing a deeper understanding of what hope means to each individual is essential to delivering holistic, patient-centered care.
