Numerous applications of polyvagal theory are related to the power of safety. Despite the fact that safety is essential to healing, it can be challenging to find it in the healthcare industry for both patients and practitioners. The lecturers, who are skilled doctors who work in acute care and outpatient settings, will provide examples of how the concepts of Polyvagal Theory are used in actual clinical situations.

At the Connecticut Children’s Medical Center Newborn Intensive Treatment Unit in Hartford, Connecticut, Marilyn Sanders, MD, a board-certified pediatrician and neonatologist, provides care for newborns, infants, and their families who are in critical condition. Dr. Sanders completed both her fellowship in Neonatal-Perinatal Medicine at Johns-Hopkins School of Medicine and her pediatric residency at University of Connecticut School of Medicine. At the University of Connecticut School of Medicine, she teaches pediatrics. Up to three years old, she also offers neurodevelopmental follow-up for newborns and young children. Her research focuses on giving hospitalized newborns, babies, young children, and their families trauma-informed treatment. Her research focuses on how our emotions and conduct are affected by the autonomic nervous system’s perception of safety, danger, or a threat to our lives. She gives seminars all around the US and Europe. She has written articles and book chapters on the topic of providing young children, newborns, and their families with trauma-informed treatment in the hospital environment. WW Norton and Company has a book deal with Dr. Sanders and her co-author, Dr. George Thompson. They address the implications of the Polyvagal Theory for the wellbeing and growth of newborns, children, and adolescents in their book, The Polyvagal Theory and the Developing Child: Strengthening Children, Families, and Communities, which was released in July 2021. Dr. Sanders also serves on the Polyvagal Institute’s advisory board.
