Conflict often emerges when navigating the medical, emotional, and relational complexities of caring for medically complex children. This session examines why conflict happens, how it escalates or de-escalates, and introduces practical approaches for transforming conflict in ways that preserve relationships, honor diverse perspectives, and center what matters most.
This event will take place on Monday, April 13th at 8:00 pm ET (7:00 pm CT, 6:00 pm MT, 5:00 pm PT).
Learning objectives:
Identify common sources of conflict when caring for medically complex children, including differences in values, goals, communication patterns, and perspective.
Recognize the dynamics that escalate or de-escalate conflict, including the role of power, trust, communication dynamics, and emotion.
Explore approaches for navigating conflict in ways that honor relationships, create space for difficult conversations, and focus on what matters most.

DBHDD, in partnership with Sangha Unity Network (SUN), will continue the work of Transformational Change through a series of interactive, one-day workshops focused on creating more meaningful Individual Service Plans using the new ISP template.
These workshops are designed to support a shift in thinking about the ISP, from a required document to a person-centered tool that reflects the aspirations, strengths, preferences, and choices of each person receiving services. Participants will learn how to facilitate and develop ISPs that are grounded in person-centered engagement and aligned with the intent of the HCBS Settings Rule and NOW/COMP waivers.
This event is hosted by Georgia Department of Behavoral Health and Developmental Disabilites and it will be located at both of the Clarence Brown Conference Center & the UGA Tifton Conference Center.
