SUMMARY:Oregon Youth IDD/Mental Health Summit (Corvallis & online)
DESCRIPTION:This year’s event will be one-day only. The suggested registration fee is $95 per person and includes lunch. Reduced and no-cost registration is also available thanks to generous support from our sponsors. \nWednesday\, August 6\, 2025 \nRegister at LINK HERE \nGuy Stephens\, founder and executive director of the Alliance Against Seclusion and Restraint\, will deliver a compelling keynote at the Oregon Youth IDD/Mental Health Summit titled “Behavior is Biology: The Need for Trauma-Informed\, Neuroscience-Aligned\, Relationship-Driven\, and Collaborative Approaches.” Drawing on his extensive advocacy work\, Stephens will challenge conventional discipline and behavior models that rely on rewards\, consequences\, and exclusion—practices that often misunderstand and harm children\, particularly those with disabilities\, neurodivergent identities\, or trauma histories. \nIn this session\, Stephens will introduce “The Five Principles To Better Supporting All Children\,” a transformative framework rooted in trauma-informed\, neuroscience-aligned\, neurodiversity-affirming\, relationship-driven\, and collaborative practices. Participants will gain practical strategies to foster safety\, connection\, and positive outcomes\, moving beyond punitive approaches to create more inclusive and supportive environments. Join us on August 6th at Oregon State University in Corvallis to reimagine school discipline and discover actionable steps to support every child’s well-being and success. \nQuestions?
