THANK YOU FOR LIFTING US UP:
40 YEARS OF TRANSFORMING LIVES OF YOUNG CHILDREN, FAMILIES AND PROFESSIONALS
2022 Gratitude Report
Dear Lourie Center family, friends and supporters, All good and energizing greetings to you and all you are connected to! Looking back, 2022 was a milestone year for Adventist HealthCare’s The Lourie Center for Children’s Social & Emotional Wellness. Emerging from the pandemic, we were again able to enjoy in-person activities (carefully) and gather in groups to work, to collaborate and to celebrate. And celebrate we did! We joined together on Oct.11 for our 40th anniversary (1982-2022) with a sparkling gala! It was 1982 when leading experts in the fields of pediatrics, psychiatry, nursing, education, social work and psychology gave birth to the Center as part of a six-year National Institutes of Mental Health study. The well-known figures of that study, Dr. Reginald Lourie, Dr. T. Berry Brazelton and Dr. Stanley Greenspan were joined by leading women, including Dr. Georgia deGangi, Dr. Mary Robinson and many others to establish The Lourie Center as a beacon of light amidst the early childhood trauma storm. Today, the Center has an impact on more than 4,000 children and families each year across the Washington, DC region through five early childhood mental health and education programs. Not only did we look back in 2022, but we advanced our future with the launch of The Lourie Center’s Champions for Children, a women-led initiative, to raise awareness and funds to build child and family resiliency and counter the impact of early childhood trauma. As part of the Gala, The Champions honored several heroes (see “In the Community” below) among us who tirelessly work to counter the crisis in child mental health and whose voices echo in Congress, in universities and research centers, in early childhood classrooms, and in the intimacy of the parent-child relationship. In 2022, we also forged new partnerships with the corporate community through Boston Properties (now BXP) and RADA USA (now Leonardo), who give generously of their time, talent, and treasure. We are so very grateful that they walk right in step with us. On behalf of all the Center, our gratitude is best expressed in the words of The Lourie Center’s 3rd Grand Marshal of our Little Heroes Parade & Fair and long-time supporter, Dr. Carol Weyland Conner: “In great respect and gratitude. The work you [help us] do to make our world a better place by helping children grow straight and tall is a wonder.” One family, growing together,

TRAINING, EDUCATION AND CONSULTATION We provide evidenced-based training, education and consultation in infant and early childhood development and mental health for parents, providers and policymakers. The Lourie Center Therapeutic Preschool Program partners with Teaching Strategies in a Workshop on Promoting Regulation for Teachers and Students The National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC) holds a conference each summer known as the Professional Learning Institute (PLI) that focuses on best practices for training leaders in early childhood education. Two leaders from the Therapeutic Preschool Program (TPP) Anna Curtin, PhD and Marianela Rodousakis, LCSW-C teamed up
with Breeyn Mack, Vice President for Teaching Strategies – Early Childhood Education Solutions at this past years NAEYC Conference. Ms. Rodousakis, Dr. Curtin and Ms. Mack led a workshop focusing on how to recognize trauma in preschoolers and how to use relationship-based strategies to regulate oneself in the preschool classroom. The workshop also taught effective strategies and practical self-care plans to mitigate the impact of performing such challenging work. Participants were able to learn classroom and student-management strategies developed by Noni Educational Solutions.

Prince George’s County Psychologists Learn About the ACE Study
Deeper Dive intro Trauma Treatment: Child Parent Psychotherapy (CCP)
Diane King-Shaw, PhD, the Clinical Director of The Lourie Center School, partnered with Frank Kros, MSW, JD, founder of the Kros Learning Group to educate psychologists with Prince George’s County Public Schools about the neurobiological impact of trauma on children and the ACE stud5y on Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs).
As a part of The Lourie Center’s SAMSHA National Child Traumatic Stress Network (NCTSN) grant, ten clinicians from the Parent-Child Clinical Services Program are participating in an 18-month collaborative to learn a world-class treatment modality.
The CDC-Kaiser Permanente ACEs study is one of the largest investigations of the correlation between childhood abuse and neglect and household challenges, as well as later-life health and well-being. In the training, psychologists learned ways that school staff can therapeutically support students who have experienced ACEs. The ACE study has significant clinical impact in early childhood intervention, showing that not only are ACEs predictive in a population of increased mental health challenges such as depression and alcoholism but also predictive in a population of physical health challenges such as asthma, obesity and coronary heart disease. Through the years, The Lourie Center has provided training to psychologists with Prince George’s County. Dr. King-Shaw and Jimmy Venza, PhD, Executive Director, The Lourie Center, previously have presented on supporting traumatized children in schools and the power of parent-child relationships, teacher-student interactions and how the staff can improve educational and developmental outcomes.

Child Parent Psychotherapy (CPP) is an evidenced-based family intervention for children ages 0-6 and their caregivers who have experienced at least one traumatic event. Clinicians will participate in three, week-long learning sessions with colleagues from the Mid-Atlantic region. In addition, participants receive clinical supervision and twice-monthly consultation calls led by Chandra Gosh-Ippen, Ph.D, a co-developer of the CPP model from the University of California at San Francisco and Sheryl Jefferson, LCSW-C, a co-trainer from Kennedy Krieger Institute. This intensive training process provides an immersive experience for clinicians to expand their knowledge in trauma, psychodynamically informed practice and supporting families in their journey to healing. Following the completion of this program, The Lourie Center will be the only agency in the county to offer this intervention.

RESEARCH “Adventist HealthCare's The Lourie Center for Children's Social & Emotional Wellness is launching the Trauma-Informed Preschool Supports (TIPS) ECHO in conjunction with the University of New Mexico’s Project ECHO for Education team. TIPS ECHO empowers early childhood educators who support traumaimpacted children in their classrooms across the country. By enhancing early childhood educator knowledge, skills and efficacy, the number of early childhood professionals with the capacity to support children and families facing adversity increases exponentially. While involved with the learning community, participants in the TIPS ECHO program
participate in ongoing case consultations with specialists in the fields of psychology, social work and early childhood. The TIPS ECHO team provides educators with a safe and supportive learning environment that encourages growth, while acknowledging the challenges this work presents.” Clarissa I. Franco, MSpEd Senior Program Manager, Project ECHO®, Education Team, University of New Mexico Health Sciences Center
2022 Gratitude Report
Trauma-Informed Preschool Supports (TIPS) ECHO: A Collaboration with Project ECHO for Education Team Created in 2003 to deliver specialized medical knowledge to rural health care providers, Project ECHO builds communities of practice through free virtual mentoring and learning. Through ECHO, professionals learn and share best practices in health care, education and more. Backed by over 500 peer-reviewed research articles, ECHO has proven effective across disciplines and geographies to reduce disparities, strengthen health systems and drive collaborative solutions for local priorities. Project ECHO’s Early Childhood Education programs focus on engaging early childhood professionals working in a variety of roles in support of children and families. The Trauma-Informed Preschool Supports (TIPS) ECHO program develops important skills for early childhood educators to improve teaching efficacy when supporting children facing adversity. Educators benefit from a didactic curriculum that addresses common challenges that arise in classrooms among children who have trauma histories. These challenges include but are not limited to physical and verbal aggression, inattention, self-regulation, tantrums, refusal, social isolation and symptoms of anxiety. The TIPS ECHO supports educators by improving the early childhood professionals’ knowledge, skills, competencies and/or practices with a trauma framework.
TIPS: Integrating Research and Practice This one-year pilot is also designed as a research study to evaluate the effectiveness of TIPS.
The Lourie Center’s Dr. Jimmy Venza, TIPS co-coordinators Gwen Campbell, LCPC, and Dr. LaTrice Dowtin and the ECHO Research team collaboratively designed the pilot study combining each institutions’ expertise and experience. In addition, to implement TIPS, The Lourie Center assembled a multi-disciplinary team of early childhood mental health and education experts from the Center’s Therapeutic Nursery Program, including Mariana Rodousakis, LCSW-C/ Assistant Director of Prince George’s County, Michelle Brennan, Education Coordinator, Aaleah Williams, Assistant Director for Montgomery County, Tathiana Sanchez, Administrative Assistant/Assistant Teacher and child-psychiatry consultant, Dr. Malena Banks. The TIPS pilot will span the fall of 2023 through summer 2024. Participants will participate in 16 sessions of case consultation and didactic curriculum presentations with early childhood specialist colleagues from across the country with the TIPS ECHO HUB team. Participants will complete surveys to measure changes in self-reported empathy toward their students and reactions to hypothetical classroom situations, as well as measuring child-teacher relationship engagement and interaction. Finally, participants may attend a focus group to report details about how they are applying what they learned from the program in their day-to-day work with children and families. The findings hold the promise of generalizing results to early childhood educators across the country. They also potentially create the evidence for scaling TIPS ECHO early childhood educators, nationally and internationally, for the benefit of future generations of teachers and students and their families.

Circle of Security Classroom Approach: Pilot Research to Help Counter Health and Education Inequity The Lourie Center had the great privilege to partner with Dr. Jude Cassidy, Sayako Awao and their University of Maryland colleagues, Prince George’s County Public Schools administrators and teachers and Circle of Security International leadership to conduct pilot research aimed to supporting teachers and young students facing adversity. The Lourie Center team was led by our project lead/research coordinator Max Siegel, Dr. Amber ValentineMinion, Jill Brown, Dr. Jimmy Venza and the Circle of Security Classroom trained Facilitators/Lourie Center clinicians: Adriana Cuoto Silva, Stephanie Nti, Renee Stewart and Marianela Rodousakis. There is an ever-expanding body of scientific research showing that “secure base” relationships with adults can buffer the negative effects of adversity on child development and leaning.
This research extends this work to the teacherstudent relationship. This pilot examined how teacher participation in the Circle of SecurityClassroom Approach (2022 – 2023 school year), a reflective program that strengthens teachers’ abilities to function as “secure bases” for students, impacted student well-being. Two key findings included a reduction in student conduct problems and lower levels of child emotional dysregulation, with the focus on students from communities of color who were facing adversity and experiencing challenges in the classroom. Importantly, while many teachers represented communities of color and reported high rates of stress and fatigue, they reported feeling supported and more effective by participating in the COS-Classroom approach. Considering these promising results, we look forward to pursuing further opportunities to provide the Circle of Security in the Classroom to additional schools and to conduct larger scale research.
