SUMMARY:TA Coalition Webinar: Improving Access to Care Through Creating Family Peer Support Specialists
DESCRIPTION:Details: A SAMHSA sponsored webinar developed under contract by the National Association of State Mental Health Program Directors (NASMHPD) and presented by the National Federation of Families for Children’s Mental will take place Wednesday\, August 12\, 2020 at 2:00pm Eastern Time called Improving Access to Care Through Creating Certified Family Peer Specialists Across the Lifespan. \nDescription: Family Peer Support services have been available in many states for several years. While this service began organically\, it has matured and is now a recognized Medicaid-billable support for families. While Family Peer Support was originally developed as a support for families with school-aged children in child-serving systems\, the service has evolved in response to reflect a more robust understanding of family dynamics and the cultural shift towards more children remaining with their families into adulthood. \nRegister here >> \nThis webinar will explore the dimensions of family support across the lifespan. Our presenters will speak from three unique perspectives. We will highlight the subtle differences in providing supports for families with very young children\, those with school-aged children and youth\, and those families caring for their adult children. Presenters will offer real-life examples and tools that should prove useful for participants. The challenges faced by families as they transition through the various service systems will be highlighted and the importance of family support throughout the lifespan will be described. \nPresenters: \n\nJoy Hogge\, Ph.D.\, Executive Director\, Families as Allies\, Mississippi\nZira Franks\, MSC\, BHT\, Program Director\, Family Involvement Center\, Arizona\nCindy Seekins\, CFPS\, Executive Director G.E.A.R. Parent Network\, Maine\n\nModerator: \n\nLynda Gargan\, Ph.D.\, Executive Director\, National Federation of Families for Children’s Mental Health

SUMMARY:Turn Everyday Moments into Brain-Building Moments
DESCRIPTION:The Child Health and Development Project: Mississippi Thrive! is a collaborative project of Mississippi State University’s (MSU) Social Science Research Center (SSRC) and the University of Mississippi Medical Center’s (UMMC) Children’s of Mississippi and is funded by the Health Resources Services Administration (HRSA). Our mission is to improve the developmental health for young children (birth to age 5) in Mississippi. About one in six children experience developmental delays\, but thankfully\, identifying and addressing these delays early helps them have more successful outcomes. Our goal is to increase the number of families who experience all elements of a quality developmental health system. In this webinar we will discuss the importance of early childhood brain development and how adults can support young children’s brain architecture using tools like Vroom®. We will also share resources from our website for both families and professionals. When our children thrive\, Mississippi thrives!\n\n\n\nRegister: https://register.gotowebinar.com/register/4517244977316618256
