SUMMARY:Call for Presentations | 2022 MS Virtual Trauma Informed Care Conference
DESCRIPTION:2022 Virtual Mississippi Trauma Informed Care Conference \n“Finding Hope in a Never Ending Storm”\nSeptember 21 – 23\, 2022\nCall for Presentations \nFor the past 8 years\, several state and local agencies have joined together to host the annual Trauma Informed Care Conference. Each year\, the premier conference has brought together over 400 – 500 diverse participants representing a wide array of service providers. \nThis year’s theme\, “Finding Hope in a Never Ending Storm” continues to use the “Storm” as the analogy for “Trauma” as with previous year’s theme as well as focusing on the current mental health crisis heightened by the pandemic. \nThese unprecedented times have been a struggle for everyone! The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic effect on mental health has been substantial. There has been a 400% increase of reported symptoms of anxiety or depression disorder among adults and up to a 30% increase of ER visits by children for mental health issues. \nHope is defined as an optimistic state of mind that is based on an expectation of positive outcomes with respect to events and circumstances in one’s life or the world at large. Through innovative and thought-provoking sessions\, it is our expectation the conference will stimulate the process of reclaiming hope to attendees. This includes inspiring hope that survivors can and do recover\, practicing self-care when you feel your hope is slipping due to burnout\, and applying principles of Trauma Informed Care to respond effectively and prevent further trauma. \nThe 2022 Mississippi Trauma Informed Care Conference planning committee is seeking 60 – 90\nminutes keynote presentations and 60 – 90 minutes breakout sessions. The sessions should be\ndesigned for Mental Health and Addiction Professionals\, Social Workers\, Marriage and Family Therapists\, Juvenile Justice Personnel – judges\, counselors\, administrators\, probation officers\, Educators – teachers\, administrators\, counselors\, Domestic Violence and other advocates\, Parents/Guardians/Foster Parents/Resource Parents. Community and Faith Based\, Peer Support Specialists and Survivors and family members. \nThe committee is particularly seeking sessions that can be replicated\, outcome based and address critical issues of importance in creating a trauma informed system of care. \nClick here for the full PDF for electronic submission.  \nInclude a resume or vita\, brief bio for introductions\, and submit all documents to mstraumaconference@gmail.com. \n  \n

SUMMARY:3rd Annual Teen Dating Violence Awareness Summit: Operation Fearless
DESCRIPTION:Mississippi Coalition Against Domestic Violence \nTeen dating violence is a problem of epidemic proportions that has plagued our nation for decades. Thousands and even millions of teens around the country\, both boys and girls\, are abused in one way or another every year. \nTeens often think some behaviors\, like teasing and name-calling\, are a “normal” part of a relationship\, but these behaviors can become abusive and develop into serious forms of violence. Many teens do not report unhealthy behaviors because they are afraid to tell family and friends. Nearly 1 in 11 female and approximately 1 in 14 male high school students report having experienced physical dating violence in the last year. About 1 in 8 female and 1 in 26 male high school students report having experienced sexual dating violence in the last year. (CDC\, 2021). \nBullying often leads to suicidal tendencies among children and youth. It leads to psychological disorders related to depression\, violent behavior\, and drug abuse. Students reporting frequent bullying by others are at a high risk of suicidal behavior. Victims of bullying by peers are 2.2 times more likely to develop a suicidal tendency. These students are 2.6 times more likely to commit suicide as compared to the normal students. \nWhile the numbers surrounding these unfortunate anomalies are troubling\, there is reason for hope. Join MCADV for the 3rd Annual Virtual Teen Dating Violence Awareness Summit as we host phenomenal speakers who will inform\, empower\, inspire\, educate\, engage and aid teens in their quest in becoming a FEARLESS HERO! \nRegister here >>

SUMMARY:2021 Virtual NFFCMH Conference - Nov. 4-6
DESCRIPTION:The National Federation of Families \nDid you know that 1 in 5 children in America experiences social\, emotional and behavioral and/or substance use challenges? One undisputed constant in our society is that all children who survive childhood and adolescence will become adults. For children and youth who experience untreated behavioral health and substance use challenges\, this typically results in adults who continue to struggle with symptoms\, who become parents and who perpetuate this cycle. The impact of this reoccurring cycle is felt throughout our society. \nFor more than 30 years\, the National Federation of Families has been the nationwide advocacy organization with families as its sole focus\, playing an important role in helping parents\, caregivers and families of children – of any age – whose lives are impacted by mental health and substance use challenges.  This important work is supported largely by the generous supporters and donors like you who contribute to our cause. \nOur 2021 Conference will feature many great workshops and speakers this year\, joining hundreds of mental health advocates and professionals from across the nation as we work to educate and empower families! \nThe annual conference is a dynamic event full of valuable opportunities to learn\, connect and gain exposure for all who attend. Below are some basic facts about the event for sponsors\, exhibitors\, presenters and attendees. \nTypically\, the annual conference: \n\nIs attended by 700 to 1\,000 people\nDraws representatives from 30 to 40 of the United States\, Guam and Canada\nDraws representatives from 40 to 50 Federation of Families affiliates/chapters\nFeatures 175+ speakers\nOffers over 85 breakout sessions\n\nRegister here>>
