The 2016 MJDA Higgins Lake Conference kicked off with a scavenger hunt and team building activity facilitated by Doug Murch from Jackson County. On Thursday, attendees spent time in training sessions including: practice with LGBTQ youth presented by Patrick Gaulier, Chardae Korhonen, and Victoria Boss of Ozone House, Michigan's Youth Behind Bars presented by Kristen Staley from the Michigan Council on Crime and Delinquency, and Motivational Interviewing presented by Mike Clark of Build Motivation. Thursday wrapped up with the annual Child Care Worker of the Year Awards Ceremony and on Friday morning, Payge Hodapp of Brain Gym, gave attendees tools for activating the human brain to energize the learning and therapeutic processes.
