SUMMARY:Family Connections: A Virtual Community for Parents and Caregivers
DESCRIPTION:National Family Support Technical Assistance Center \n“Family Connections” is a virtual community for parents and caregivers who support loved ones facing substance use and/or mental health challenges. Families tell us they need credible resources\, guidance on accessing help\, and the opportunity to connect with others facing similar challenges. Monthly gatherings will focus on a specific topic\, provide tips and tools\, and offer the opportunity to network with other families. \nAlthough every family’s experience is different\, it can be reassuring to speak to other parents/caregivers whose children have experienced the same mental health\, substance use\, or physical health condition as your loved one(s) – no matter what age. Other parents/caregivers are likely to have been through the same emotions and processes\, and it’s helpful to hear how others are navigating the complex needs of their loved ones. \nThis month’s Family Connections will bring parents/caregivers of children of all ages to talk about experiences\, best practices initiatives\, and how to navigate the system. A Family Leader will share her story\, and families will have the opportunity to ask questions of the family leader and of a clinician who serves children with complex needs. \nRegister here >> \nThis event is free and open to all families and to the workforce\, organizations and communities that support them. Request No-Cost Technical Assistance or Training from NFSTAC at: www.nfstac.org/request-ta. \n

SUMMARY:CoE-IHS Webinar: Comprehensive Health Integration Part 1: Introducing a New Framework
DESCRIPTION:National Council for Mental Wellbeing \nEvidence strongly suggests that people of all ages living with co-occurring physical health\, mental health and substance use challenges\, as well as social determinants of health needs\, have higher health costs yet experience poorer health outcomes. Additionally\, these individuals and families are faced with significant inequities within physical and behavioral health settings\, based on racial\, ethnic\, and economic challenges. \nIntegrated care approaches and models are a promising solution to address co-occurring health conditions\, improve health outcomes and address health inequities across populations. \nIn this Comprehensive Health Integration (CHI) Webinar Series\, integrated care experts will review the evolving expertise surrounding integrated care models and approaches and explore components of a new and visionary integrated care framework focused on bi-directional and population-based comprehensive healthcare outlined in the new paper titled\, Designing\, Implementing\, and Sustaining Physical Health-Behavioral Health Integration: The Comprehensive Healthcare Integration Framework. \nPlease join us on Wednesday\, April 27th from 12:00-1:00 pm ET for our upcoming webinar: CoE-IHS Webinar: Comprehensive Health Integration Part 1: Introducing a New Framework\, to hear from experts in the field as we explore the current state of integration and learn more about the comprehensive health integration framework. \nRegister here >> \n  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMark your calendars for all sessions in the series and subscribe for email updates to be the first to know when the next sessions are scheduled. \n\nMay 25\, 1 p.m. ET – Comprehensive Health Integration Part 2: Domains and Constructs\nJune 2022 – Comprehensive Health Integration Part 3: Measuring Integration and Choosing Metrics\nJuly 2022 – Comprehensive Health Integration Part 4: Payment Models for Comprehensive Health Integration\n\nThis virtual initiative is supported by the Center of Excellence for Integrated Health Solutions (CoE-IHS)\, funded by a grant award from the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA).
