Join us for the Douglas Ullman Conference 2025: "The Neurobiology of Safety, Threat, and Connection: Polyvagal Perspectives on Working with Children and Their Families," taking place on Thursday, September 25th! This conference series, dedicated to honoring Douglas G. Ullman, one of CRC's Founders and first Board President, will bring top experts in behavioral health to Bowling Green, OH.

We will be joined by Dr. William H. O'Brien, Ph.D., ABPP as he presents his research in psychophysiology and clinical health psychology. Dr. O’Brien is a Professor in the Department of Psychology at Bowling Green State University.

Internationally recognized for his work integrating neuroscience, trauma recovery, and compassionate systems of care, Dr. George Thompson, MD will guide participants through an immersive, interactive keynote workshop that explores Polyvagal Theory (PVT) and its relevance in clinical and caregiving environments that serve children and families. Dr. Thompson is the Chairman of the Polyvagal Institute Board of Directors and Child Psychiatrist specializing in the treatment of developmental trauma and polyvagal-informed crisis response.

In this workshop, Dr. Thompson will offer an overview of Polyvagal Theory (PVT), exploring how the autonomic nervous system continuously monitors for cues of safety and threat, and how it orchestrates physiological responses that match the body’s needs in each moment. Attendees will learn how to use these principles to transform moments of crisis into opportunities for connection and assistance.
