SUMMARY:(Re)Defining Person-Centered Planning in Mental Health Systems
DESCRIPTION:NCAPPS \nPerson-centered” is a buzzword in mental health service systems\, and it is common for service plans to be called “person-centered.” However\, it is unclear whether people are truly directing their planning process and choosing services and supports that really matter to them – and the supports they don’t want. While person-centered planning is intended to support people to live self-determined lives\, it can also be used inappropriately to compel and coerce people into services they don’t want. When done well\, person-centered planning has the potential to advance equity by opening multiple pathways to wellbeing. Poorly implemented person-centered planning can deepen existing inequities. \nHosted by the National Center on Advancing Person-Centered Practices and Systems (NCAPPS)\, this webinar will convene members of the Massachusetts-based Council Against Institutional and Psychiatric Abuse (CAIPA) to explore what person-centered planning should – and shouldn’t – look like. \nNCAPPS webinars include ASL interpretation\, live English captions\, and live Spanish interpretation. If you require any additional accommodations\, please contact Saska Rajcevic (srajcevic@hsri.org). \nRegister here >> \n***Please Note: If you would like to receive a confirmation of attendance\, we recommend you connect to this webinar using the Zoom desktop app. NCAPPS webinars are not officially approved for Continuing Education Units\, however\, we do provide confirmation of attendance in case an organization wishes to use participation in our webinars to grant credit for internal requirements. Connecting via the desktop app will ensure that Zoom recognizes your attendance.***

SUMMARY:The Three Legs of the Stool: A Framework for Person-Centered Community Mental Health Services That Do No Harm
DESCRIPTION:NCAPPS \nThis webinar will showcase a framework for community mental health services developed by the Ashland County\, Ohio Mental Health and Recovery Board.

SUMMARY:"Shared Decision-Making" - What Does This Actually Mean and What Does It Look Like?
DESCRIPTION:Courageous Parents Network \n“Shared Decision-Making” – what does this actually mean and what does it look like? As caregivers of seriously ill children – and as pediatric clinicians – we make decisions in both our heads and our heart\, and they aren’t always aligned. Nor are parents and clinicians always aligned. Is it possible for both the clinician and the parents/caregivers to share a decision on behalf of the child? What happens when the two parties aren’t on the same page? Which party should be driving the decision-making process? \nIn truth\, shared decision-making looks different depending on the situation. As with everything we try to do at CPN\, we will move beyond the jargon to get both concrete and relational about decision-making when caring for a child with serious illness. This session will explore the dimensions of shared decision-making and give participants a framework for considering the variables (including medical facts\, personal values\, personal preferences and risk tolerance). \nThe event is featuring Kate Nelson\, MD – Staff Physician\, Pediatric Palliative Care at Toronto’s Sick Kids for Children Hospital. \nRegister here >>

SUMMARY:Proposed Rules on Medicaid Payments\, Access and Quality: Implications for Health Care Stakeholders

SUMMARY:CoE-IHS Webinar: Part 2- Rural Telehealth for Youth in Schools & Beyond
DESCRIPTION:Due to structural urbanism\, rural areas often face a shortage of mental health & medical professionals\, limited access to healthcare facilities\, and long travel distances to receive care. Children and youth in rural\, frontier and tribal communities have been particularly impacted by this limitation in access to equitable health care\, especially as the need for youth mental health has increased in recent years. \nTelehealth and mobile health are tools that can address the healthcare disparities that exist in rural communities\, specifically to offer support for children and youth in schools as the national youth mental health crisis continues. For children and youth who live in rural\, frontier and tribal communities\, telehealth and mobile health can be a lifeline by addressing health disparities and bringing care directly to those who need it most. \nJoin us for Part 2 of our rural telehealth webinar series\, Rural Telehealth for Youth in Schools & Beyond\, on Tues. May 16\, 2-3 p.m. ET to learn more and share your ideas. In this session\, experts will discuss how their organization is working to address structural urbanism for youth in rural communities by leveraging integrated telehealth services across the state of Texas. \nRegister here >>
