Introduction

The ChildTrauma Academy and Hull Services are pleased to welcome delegates to the 3rd International Neurosequential
Model Symposium: Reflecting on a Decade of Progress - Envisioning a Better Future for Children.

Mission Statement: The mission of the Symposium is to bring together professionals from around the world to meet,
collaborate, facilitate further learning, and build professional communities regarding the implementation of the
Neurosequential Model.

Target Audience: The Neurosequential Model Symposium is designed for professionals in child and adolescent mental
health, social work, medicine and nursing, education, prevention, foster care, research, advocacy, child protection
services, and all who serve children and families affected by child maltreatment and violence.

Symposium Objectives: Through the Neurosequential Model Symposium, we seek to (1) share the expanding body of
knowledge around the Neurosequential Model, issues of application and implementation, with the growing number of
members within our professional community and in turn learn from them; we seek to (2) support our colleagues through
offering them rich professional development opportunities and the ability to connect to and strengthen relationships
with our peers across the world, and to do so in a setting that inspires and rejuvenates us; and we seek to (3) explore
through professional dialogue new ways in which we can work together to improve the lives of children and families who
are suffering from the adverse effects of trauma and maltreatment.

                        Collaborative Outcomes Management (TCOM). Within the TCOM framework, the most
                        commonly used tool is the Child and Adolescent Needs and Strengths (CANS), which supports
                        decision making in child welfare, mental health, juvenile justice, schools and early intervention
                        service provision, including level of care and planning and wellbeing and functional status
                        outcomes, to facilitate quality improvement initiatives. Versions of the CANS are currently used
                        in every state with statewide applications in 36 states. There are implementations on every
continent except Antarctica. At Chapin Hall, Dr. Lyons continues to guide policymakers and practitioners using TCOM
and the CANS to more effectively tailor supportive services to the needs of youth and children and on expanding a suite
of implementation supports to the CANS and TCOM framework.

                       adolescent psychiatric clinic and was an adjunct faculty member at Central Connecticut State
                       University. Nelba and her family had only moved to Sandy Hook, CT from Canada four months

                         Jimmy Greene
                      A native of Hartford, CT, Jimmy Greene is considered one of the most respected saxophonists
                      of his generation since his graduation from the Hartt School of Music in 1997. His solo releases
                      including GRAMMY® Nominated Beautiful Life (Mack Avenue), have been met with much
                      critical acclaim. In fact, Tony Hall of Jazzwise Magazine (UK) calls Greene “ . . .without doubt
                      one of the most striking young tenors of recent years.” Five years ago, he wrote and recorded
                      an album that no parent should ever have to make – Beautiful Life celebrated the life of Ana
                      Márquez-Greene, his 6-year-old daughter that was murdered along with 19 other children and
                      six educators on December 14, 2012 at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown,
Connecticut. Now, Greene continues to honor and memorialize her spirit with Flowers, his second release for Mack
Avenue Records.

                          Bryan Samuels is the Executive Director of Chapin Hall at the University of Chicago. He has
                          spent his career building the capacity of child welfare systems to produce positive outcomes for
                          children, integrating empirical evidence into public policy and service delivery, and streamlining
                          management and operations in government agencies. Before coming to Chapin Hall, Samuels
                          was the commissioner of the Administration on Children, Youth and Families (ACYF) at the U.S.
                          Department of Health and Human Services. Samuels administered federal programs addressing
                          child abuse and neglect, runaway and homeless youth, domestic and intimate partner violence,
                          and teen pregnancy. His top priority at ACYF included capacity building of the child welfare
system to effectively address complex trauma and toxic stress among vulnerable children, youth, and families. As a result
of his collaboration with the Secretary of Health and Human Services (HHS), addressing child trauma is officially a high
priority goal for HHS. He influenced the establishment of federal law requiring state child welfare agencies to screen for
trauma and provide appropriate treatments.

                         Gina Samuels is an Associate Professor at the School of Social Service Administration and a
                         Faculty Affiliate of the Center for the Study of Race, Politics and Culture at The University of
                         Chicago. Her scholarly interests include transracial adoption, mixed race and multiethnic identity
                         formation, interpretive research methods, and the development of relational, kinship, and
                         cultural ties among young adults whose childhoods are shaped by foster care and adoption.
                         Professor Samuels' scholarship situates these lived experiences in a broader socio-historical,

cultural, and theoretical context to critically explore how personal identity and well-being are constrained and promoted
by child welfare policy and practice and by societal and personal constructions of race and family. She is currently
involved in several research projects: a national study including a state-wide study of child welfare professionals'
conceptions and practices of wellbeing and a study of Illinois youth with histories of running away from their foster
homes to understand where youth run and why.
