Celebrating Resilience.

As SLPs and Audiologists, we treat across the lifespan and pour so much of our energy, compassion and empathy into supporting our patients and their families. In Alaska, we rise to meet the challenges of providing high-quality, skilled services to urban and rural communities alike. As many in our communities are adversely affected by substance misuse disorders, we are striving to further our collective knowledge on how to provide the most compassionate, evidence-based care in a way that intersects positively with the multitude of cultures and people in our state. Topics for our speaker sessions will include discussions of Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder, Neonatal Opioid Withdrawal Syndrome, Addiction Medicine, Avoiding Burnout as Providers, Trauma Informed Care, and Ways to Incorporate Augmentative & Alternative Communication with Complex Populations.
