LSCI is trauma-informed care in action! Alex Cameron, Director of Clinical Services, Pressley Ridge

Hello everyone,

Happy Summer!

I’m delighted to send you information about our exciting plans for the 2025 LSCI Trainer Conference, now just one year away.

Please SAVE THE DATES of June 27-29, 2025 for this fantastic event!

We’ll be doing things a bit differently this year and are excited to give you a preview of what you can expect:

1. For the first time ever, we will be offering an LSCI Certification training event adjacent to the Trainer Conference! From June 23-27, participants from around the world are invited to attend this 5-day event at KidsPeace National Centers in the Lehigh Valley region of eastern Pennsylvania in the United States. The training will be led by Mark Freado along with Senior Trainers from KidsPeace.

If you have any particpant candidates from your community, school, or organization, please let them know early and often about this event. We will begin advertising it more widely this Fall/Winter. We’d love to get a great showing of professionals and parents at this certification training!

2. On Friday, June 27th, our official Trainer Conference will begin with registration & an opening event. The exact timing is still TBD but for planning purposes, expect to arrive in the Lehigh Valley on Friday afternoon and attend a late afternoon registration.

3. Here’s another especially exciting element for the 2025 Conference: On Saturday, June 28th, we’ll offer 1-2 full day symposium options in addition to our typical options for LSCI-related workshops. Certified Senior Trainers, along with anyone who completed the LSCI Certification from June 23-27, and interested professionals from the community will all be invited to attend these professional development offerings together. It will be a wonderful opportunity for networking and growing professional skills.

If you are interested in presenting a breakout session at the 2025 LSCI Trainer Conference, please email [email protected] to let me know!

4. On Saturday night, we’ll have a fun social event at a great venue in the Lehigh Valley that includes food, drinks, live music, and fun!

5. Our time on Sunday, June 29th will be reserved for certified Senior and Master Trainers only. We’ll use the morning to cover “trainer-only business” including updates to materials, training information, Affiliation Agreements, and recognizing new Senior and Master Trainers. Then, we’ll send you on your way by late morning, to allow for convenient travel home.

Please keep your eye out later this summer/early fall for more specific information on conference registration, fees, lodging, and more! In the meantime, please do reserve the June 27-29, 2025 dates on your calendar for this required trainer re-certification event and let me know if you have any questions.

Looking forward to being together again next summer!
