SUMMARY:Family Engagement in School Mental Health
DESCRIPTION:National Family Support TAC \nFamilies and schools don’t always have the same ideas about family engagement. In this webinar\, we will detail ways to bring families and schools together on the “family engagement” concept. Family engagement is a collaborative and strengths-based process through which the workforce\, families\, and children build positive and goal-oriented relationships. It is a shared responsibility of families and school staff at all levels that require mutual respect for the roles and the strengths each has to offer. With successful family partnerships\, schools can move from family involvement to family engagement. \n\n\n\nRegister here>>

SUMMARY:COVID-19 & Education Impact Report Virtual Briefing
DESCRIPTION:The Mississippi Center for Justice (MCJ) invites you to attend a virtual briefing on our newly released COVID-19 & Education Impact Report\, on Wednesday\, September 27\, from 3:30 p.m. to 4:30 p.m. CT. \nIn 2022\, MCJ initiated research to better understand how the COVID-19 pandemic impacted Mississippi’s education system\, specifically students in Delta communities. We spent more than a year conducting parent focus groups and examining educational testing data in 12 underfunded Mississippi school districts. Through this research\, we gained firsthand knowledge of some of the challenges faced within these districts. \nSome of the key findings revealed are: \n\nLack of adequate internet access – Mississippi is one of 10 states with the largest population of K-12 students affected by lack of broadband availability.\nLearning loss – While districts have rebounded from the pandemic\, districts in the report have proficiency rates that remain far below the State average in reading and math in grades 3rd-8th.\nInsufficient support services for students with disabilities – Only three districts in the report meet expectations for special education based on the state annual performance report.\nUnder-resourced mental health support systems – Mississippi is ranked 47th in access to mental healthcare.\n\nThe challenges to education brought forth by the COVID-19 pandemic were not unique to Mississippi\, as national assessments and studies reveal a decline in student achievement and well-being across the country. However\, the long-standing education inequities in Mississippi\, coupled with the pandemic\, generated a snowball effect of learning crises for districts in the report. \nMCJ is deeply committed to dismantling the educational disparities identified in the report to bring about education equity for children and families. During the pandemic\, our under-resourced districts faced profound challenges\, confirming a truth that I know to be certain: We cannot do this work alone. As educators\, administrators\, and advocates experiencing first-hand the challenges within school districts\, you know we cannot afford to underestimate the long-term effects of these challenges\, and we cannot ignore the grave consequences of inequitable education for children in rural\, high-need African-American school districts. \nWe hope you can join the virtual briefing on Wednesday\, September 27\, via Zoom. \nRegister here >>

SUMMARY:Hill Day at Home 2023
DESCRIPTION:National Council for Mental Wellbeing \nThis fall is shaping up to be one of the most consequential federal legislative periods in recent years. \nLawmakers are treating the time between September and December as one of their last and best chances to pass meaningful\, bipartisan legislation and secure funding for key behavioral health programs and services before the 2024 election cycle dominates the conversation. \nSo\, it’s the perfect time for us to come together and demand our elected officials prioritize solutions to address the nation’s ongoing mental health and substance use crises. \nWhile great progress has been made in the past few years by Congress and the Biden-Harris administration\, more must be done to ensure everyone everywhere has access to comprehensive\, high-quality mental health and substance use care. \nThis is your time to make a difference. With your help\, our unified voice will cut through the noise and ensure mental health and substance use programs are front and center during a busy legislative fall. \nRegister here >>

SUMMARY:A Family-Centered Approach to Implementing Plans of Safe Care
DESCRIPTION:National Center on Substance Abuse and Child Welfare  \nThe 2016 Amendments to the Child Abuse and Prevention Treatment Act (CAPTA) clarified that for infants affected by prenatal substance exposure\, a Plan of Safe Care is developed that addresses “the health and substance use disorder treatment needs of the infants and their affected family or caregiver.” A family-centered approach to plans of safe care assists states\, Tribes\, and communities in meeting the provisions of this legislation and the needs of families. \nRegister here>>
