Participants will be introduced to basic tenants of the Caregiver Identity Theory and implications of the theory for understanding the caregiving experience and its impact on caregivers. A center piece of this perspective is the assertion that the caregiving role is not a new role, but rather a transformation of an existing role. Participants will learn about five phases of caregiving and identity discrepancy which many caregivers experience as they move between phases. The implications of this perspective for strategically intervening to support caregivers will also be discussed.

The negative impact of traumatic events can extend beyond those who directly experienced the trauma to family members and professionals who support the traumatized individual. As such, military family caregivers are prime at risk for a phenomenon called compassion fatigue or secondary traumatic stress. The experience of compassion fatigue can lead to impairment in social and occupational functioning. In this presentation Dr. Bride will introduce attendees to the concept of compassion fatigue, describe the symptoms of compassion fatigue, and discuss strategies to minimize the negative impact of compassion fatigue.
Any relationship is bound to experience conflict and it is clear that all couples have differences and disagreements. Military Service Members and their Spouses often experience unique challenges that come with military life, the truth is every conflict can be resolved if key strategies are used. In this presentation Mr. Roos will introduce attendees to the primary origins of conflict. Furthermore attendees will understand how conflict develops within oneself, to confront conflict instead of avoid it, and to work together to bring about resolve and grow closer as a couple.
Part 2 Medicaid & Military Families: Children with Special Needsmilfamln
This webinar is part two of a three part training series that will provide basic and necessary information on Medicaid, a federal-state program that often provides health care coverage for low-income families and those with disabilities.

Financial Planning for the Second Half of Lifemilfamln
The United States has an increasingly aging population including baby boomers age 50 to 68 (in 2014). Older adults face unique financial planning challenges. These include making irrevocable decisions about claiming Social Security benefits, selecting Medicare supplement health insurance and long-term care insurance, selecting income-based investments (e.g., annuities), making sustainable retirement asset withdrawals, and calculating required minimum distributions (RMDs) due on tax-deferred savings plans such as traditional IRAs and the Thrift Savings Plan (TSP). This 90-minute webinar will “package” together 15 key later life financial planning topics that older adults and the practitioners who serve them need to understand and address. Topics that will be covered in the webinar include:
Common financial errors of older adults
Statistics about older adult finances
Common later life financial characteristics and required decisions
15 key later life financial planning topics (e.g., creating a retirement “paycheck,” required minimum distributions, untitled property transfers, and leaving a legacy)
Personal finance resources for older adults and financial practitioners
Participant interaction will include discussing workable financial planning strategies for older adults, older client errors and “blind spots,” older client success stories, and more.

Part 1 Medicaid and Military Families: An Introductionmilfamln
This module, the first in a three part series, will provide an overview of the Medicaid program. Participants will learn about the overall purposes of the Medicaid program; its relevance to military families, especially those with family members who have special needs. Participants will also learn about the manner in which Medicaid is implemented and variations among the states; and developments currently underway with the program.
While caregiving may present itself as a natural extension of one’s relationship, some of the tasks associated with caregiving may be new or different for both the caregiver and service member. Caregivers may have to assume the role of surrogate decision-maker for their wounded service member, help with activities of daily living and instrumental activities of daily living, among a myriad of other tasks. This session will describe how to respect the autonomy of the warrior as a surrogate decision-maker. It will also describe tasks associated with activities of daily living and instrumental activities of daily living, including potential challenges, evaluating those challenges and tips for addressing them. With a little knowledge and some critical thinking skills, caregivers can effectively give care while taking care.

Small Steps to Health and Wealth™ (SSHW) is a national Cooperative Extension program developed by Dr. Barbara O’Neill and Dr. Karen Ensle at Rutgers University that encourages participants to make positive behavior changes to simultaneously improve their health and personal finances. It is believed to be the first long-term program ever developed to motivate Americans to simultaneously apply the same personal behavior change strategies to both areas of their lives. SSHW was developed because many Americans have both health and financial “issues.” Societal problems that have been widely reported in recent years include an increasing incidence of diabetes, overweight, and obesity, low household savings, high household debt levels, and bankruptcy filings. The SSHW program includes 25 behavior change strategies that people can adopt to address these concerns. Each involves taking small positive steps that people can put into practice on a daily basis. This 90-minute webinar will begin by describing relationships between people's health and personal finances. It will then describe each one of the 25 behavior change strategies and how people can apply them to their lives.

Up and Away: Building Child Language, Social Interactions, and Preliteracy S...milfamln
This webinar will focus on strategies to help children use more complex sentences and vocabulary with their caregivers and peers. Children learn through daily routines and play, but as they grow and explore early education settings, their social worlds expand. Opportunities abound for children to learn as they take turns peeking at the classroom guinea pig, pretend to be police officers on a chase, and read books with a favorite caregiver. We will cover strategies to support growth in language, social communication, and early literacy skills by engaging children in meaningful, everyday activities in early care settings.
Objectives:
1. Name three strategies to help support a child’s growing ability to combine words
2. Describe the importance of social interactions during the preschool years and how to support turn-taking and other early social skills

Opportunities & Possibilities: Posttraumatic Growth in Research & Practice milfamln
In this presentation, Richard Tedeschi, Ph.D. will discuss the theoretical model and research basis of posttraumatic growth, the process by which trauma survivors often find valuable changes in how they live life in the aftermath of trauma. He will outline a framework for therapeutic interventions that facilitate posttraumatic growth through a way of relating called expert companionship. This approach to practice incorporates a broad view of what constitutes trauma, including many experiences that are not typically considered traumatic in our current diagnostic system, but which are traumatic to people because they challenge core beliefs about oneself, other people, the future, and the kind of world in which we live. The attention paid to possibilities for transformation of individuals and their relationships does not preclude working on typical symptoms of trauma, but recognizes that symptoms are better understood, tolerated, and reduced when traumatic suffering can have meaning and purpose.

Small Talk: Strategies to Support Child Communication Before Words Emergemilfamln
Previous webinars in this series have covered child communication development through the preschool years. In this session Drs. Mollie Romano and Juliann Woods will discuss what families, early care and education providers, and early interventionists can do to help a child learn to communicate and talk. A focus will be placed on evidence-based strategies to support communication leading to words and how caregivers can embed these strategies in everyday activities - from walking to the bus stop to pick up an older sister to Face-timing with Mom or Dad while during deployment. The presenters will present a variety of responsive intervention strategies including interactive book sharing to support child communication and emergent literacy.
Objectives:
1. Describe the importance of responding to child communication as a strategy
2. Discover at least three ways to create opportunities for children to communicate during everyday routines
3. Learn how to coach families to embed strategies during their daily routines and activities
From Communication to Conversations: Expanding Language Development in the E...milfamln
Children’s language use grows dramatically throughout the toddler and preschool years. Words and phrases expand daily and children begin to form sentences that go beyond sharing their preferences. Their speech sounds continue to develop and include both predictable, and sometimes adorable, error patterns. Pre-literacy skills also emerge during this developmental window and lay the foundation for academic success as children approach elementary school. In this webinar, the presenters will discuss decontextualized language, early developing morphemes, timelines for phonological processes, and preliteracy achievements during the preschool years as well as when to worry that a child’s speech and language doesn’t seem to be progressing as expected.
Entrepreneurial Opportunities for Military Familiesmilfamln
This 90-minute webinar will examine the resources and programs offered by the Small Business Administration that can benefit military service members and spouses transitioning from the military into business-owning ventures.

Join us as we explore the importance of early communication development and the initial stages of language expansion. We will share milestones that identify typical and atypical development along with resources which provide a deeper exploration of this topic.
Objectives:
*Identify at least 12 early developing gestures that are used by young children to share and gather information
*Describe early sound development milestones and identify red flags for atypical speech sound development
*Provide strategies for explaining how vocabulary and word combinations develop to families

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

9. Theory Helps Us Understand
• Sources of caregiver distress
• Differences in the way that caregivers experience
this distress
• Reasons that caregivers use or do not use
services
• Strategies for helping caregivers
• Differences among caregivers in the types of
support needed
9
10. Basic Premises About
Caregiving Journey
• There is no single, generic caregiver role
– Caregiving role emerges as an extension of a prior
role relationship
– Role is influenced by the unique values, beliefs
and circumstances
10
11. Basic Facts about the
Caregiving Journey
• Caregiving is a dynamic process that unfolds
over time
• The length of the journey varies
11
13. Caregiving Journey: Systematic
Change Process
• Change in activities
• Change in relationship with care receiver
• Change in identity of caregiver
13
21. Rules Change Over Time
• We develop new rules
• We throw out old rules
– rules that don’t work anymore
• We tweak existing rules
21
22. Reasons that Rules Change
• Family demands
• Work obligations
• Our health
• Health of other family members
• Economics of situation
• Acceptance of situation
22
34. Workload Stress
Caregivers feel like they do not
have the time or energy for …
– Their daily chores
– Other family members
– Their job and work
responsibilities
– Friends
– Themselves
34
Caregiving responsibilities and/or tasks are
interfering with other parts of a caregiver’s life
35. Tension or strain in the relationship between
the caregiver and the care recipient
• Feeling that wounded/ill service
member:
– Expects too much from them
– Is taking advantage of them
– Does not appreciate their help
– Is difficult to get along with
– Criticizes what the caregiver is doing
– Does not communicate with them
35
Relationship Stress
37. Matching rules and tasks
Relief comes when …
Caregivers change what
they are doing to match
their expectations
OR
Caregivers change their
rules (expectations) to
match what they are doing
37
38. First Step Toward Getting Help
• Set a realistic goal
• Is it best for the caregiver to
– Let go? (reduce caregiver responsibilities)
– Continue in similar manner? (maintain)
– Get comfortable assuming necessary tasks?
(embrace)
38
44. Maintain Current Identity
• Small Change: (Maintain Current Identity)
– Change (tweak) rules
– Change behaviors (actions)
– Change self-appraisal
44
45. How to Reduce Identity Discrepancy
• Big Change: Change identity and rules
– Embrace larger caregiver identity
– Reduce caregiver identity
• Small Change: Maintain Current Identity
– Change (tweak) rules
– Change behaviors (actions)
– Change self-appraisal
45
46. Take-away Points
• Caregiving involves an identity change process.
• Change often involves a lag time when there is a
misfit between what a caregiver is doing and what
the caregiver thinks she/he should be doing.
• That lag is called identity discrepancy and it causes
distress.
• To support caregivers, we must identify the best
strategy to bring their personal rules in line with their
responsibilities and tasks.
