They will also discuss how they are working to interrupt the cycle of generational trauma by improving mental health services. Their work includes translating mental health screening measures, adapting psychotherapeutic interventions, training Deaf clinicians, better understanding the impacts of language deprivation, and disseminating high-quality information to the general public.
Workshop Objectives:
1. Define generational trauma.
2. Identify three specific examples of generational trauma within the Deaf community.

Adult Child Estrangement: Working the Continuum
Damara Goff Paris, Ed.D. and E. Basil Kessler, Ph.D.
1.5 hour CEUs
Workshop Description:
Life stressors, child abuse and neglect, and ambivalence are all noted as contributors to estrangement among families. Though there is a paucity of research about Adult Child estrangement in the Deaf community; internationally, 27% of respondents reported being estranged from family members. Counselors may be asked to address estrangement with parents or adult children at any point in the continuum from contemplation to action to reconciliation. When considering Adult Child estrangement in Deaf families, attention can be given to the quality and quantity of communication, physical and emotional proximity of family members, and expectations around role reciprocity. Treatment may take the form of individual, couple, or family therapy that may include not only experiences of ambiguous loss by parents, but emotional distancing by adult children.
Workshop Objectives:
1. Identify the eight components of estrangement.
2. Explore estrangement narratives of both parents and initiators.
3. Consider the importance of resiliency and self-agency of Deaf clients.
4. Review possible therapeutic approaches to work with clients across the estrangement continuum.
