The Resilience Room with Eileen Devine

Eileen Devine, LCSW lives in Portland, Oregon, and has over twenty years of clinical experience. She is also the mother of a teenager with Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder, a serious brain-based disability that has challenging behavioral symptoms. She believes that when we understand the way a child’s brain works, we then understand the
meaning behind challenging behaviors and begin to see them as symptoms of a child’s differences. Eileen’s goal is to not only support parents in feeling more competent and confident in connecting with their child by parenting from a brain-first perspective but
to also recognize their experience as the parent of a child with extraordinary needs and the impact this has on their sense of self and well-being. When these two sides of the coin can be equally addressed, there is less frustration and increased hope in this
unique parenting journey. Through this work with parents, Eileen has created The Resilience Room Membership Community and the Brain First Parenting Program, both designed to support parents in their unique parenting journey. In addition to her one-to-one and group work with parents, she also facilitates dozens of workshops and
trainings a year and is an instructor for the C.A.S.E. Institute’s Training for Adoption Competency Post-Masters Certification Program.
