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. Using a three-legged stool model\, the Mental Health and Recovery Board has operationalized person-centered practices throughout the County service system. The primary principle of the framework is borrowed from the Hippocratic Oath: Do no harm. The three legs\, or sets of values\, are: 1) Recovery and Resiliency\, 2) Trauma-Informed Care\, and 3) Medication Optimization. In this webinar hosted by the National Center on Advancing Person-Centered Practices and Systems (NCAPPS)\, a panel of current and past leadership and people with lived experience of community mental health services in Ashland County will tell the story of how the framework’s principles and values have been operationalized. Panelists will provide information and inspiration for advocates\, administrators\, and service providers interested in how community mental health services can promote quality of life and well-being at the local level. \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.

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
DESCRIPTION:Manatt Health \nOn Thursday\, April 27\, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) released two highly anticipated proposed rules (here and here).

SUMMARY:Family Connections: Fathering
DESCRIPTION:National Family Support Technical Assistance Center \nJoin the National Family Support TAC twice in June for two events focused on fathers today who may face challenges as a parent or caregivers. You’ll meet two remarkable fathers providing significant support\, inspiration\, and resources for dads\, grandfathers\, caregivers\, and father role models across the country. \nConnection is especially critical for fathers and caregivers for a child of any age experiencing mental health and/or substance use\, behavioral health issues\, special needs\, or many other challenges. It can be isolating\, and both events are a place for every dad\, parent\, or caregiver in need of connection with others. \nWhether you are a dad\, grandfather\, caregiver\, or someone who simply wants to support a dad\, everyone is welcome. \n“Fathering” June 1st -1:30pm ET | 12:30pm CT | 10:30 am PT \n“Father to Father” June 7th – 8:00pm ET | 7:00pm CT | 5:00pm PT \nWhat is “Fathering”?\nWe know parents or caregivers of any gender can relate to their children in different ways. The concept of “fathering” can be described as someone who responds readily and consistently to a child’s developmental needs over time. Behaviors can include loving\, supporting\, nurturing\, and connecting with children of any age. \nBut “fathering” is also a movement across the country\, providing peer support and training for people who may not have had a role model to emulate\, fathers who’ve not parented their children\, or simply connect with other fathers. \nYou’ll meet two remarkable fathers who’ve made a significant impact on the Fathering movement through education\, peer support\, inspiration\, and advocacy for fathers across the country. \nLEARNING OBJECTIVES:\nUnderstand the difference between “being” a father and the concept of fathering and fatherhood.\nLearn how to find support for those who lacked role models growing up\, were unable to parent their children\, or how to connect with other fathers.\nAcceptance factor: Fathers and caregivers will better understand how to strengthen the role of fathers in raising children throughout their lifespan. \nRegister here >>

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 >>

SUMMARY:Family Connections: Navigating Family Support
DESCRIPTION:Hosted by the National Family Support Technical Assistance Center\, “Family Connections” is a virtual community for parents and caregivers who support loved ones facing substance use and/or mental health challenges. \nFamilies tell us they need credible resources\, guidance on accessing help\, and the opportunity to connect with others facing similar challenges. Monthly gatherings focus on a specific topic\, provide tips and tools\, and offer the opportunity to network with other families. Family Connections takes place the first Thursday of every month at 1:30 p.m. ET*. (*1:30pm ET/12:30pm CT/10:30am PT.) \n\n\n\n\nOn May 4th\, Family Connections takes on “Navigating Family Support.” \nThe past few years have taken a toll on the mental health of many across the country\, especially youth. In February of this year\, the Center for Disease Control released new data showing that “mental health among students overall continues to worsen\, with more than 40% of high school students feeling so sad or hopeless that they could not engage in their regular activities for at least two weeks during the previous year.“ \nWe believe parents and caregivers are the subject matter experts when it comes to their own child. But being a subject matter expert also means we need to stay on top of new ideas\, skills\, and tools. There’s so much available online that it can be hard to discern what’s reliable and what’s not. We’ll introduce you to a new online resource created by leading mental health experts with evidence-based content — giving parents/guardians the knowledge and tools to support youth while strengthening their own mental health. \nLearning Objectives: \n\nParticipants will learn how to find and access vetted\, evidence-based resources on mental health and tools to support their families.\nParticipants will learn to couple their lived experience with education and knowledge as their children who experience/experienced mental health challenges enters different stages of development.\nAcceptance Factor: By accessing reliable information\, knowledge\, and skills\, parents and caregivers are better able to support\, advocate\, and act for their child at every stage of development.\n\nRegister here >> \nThis event is free and open to all families\, parents\, caregivers\, and to the family workforce\, organizations and communities that support them. You can also request No-Cost Technical Assistance or Training from NFSTAC at: www.nfstac.org/request-ta. \nThe National Family Support Technical Assistance Center of Excellence (COE) Grant #1H79F6000160-Fam-CoE is funded by SAMHSA. The National Family Support Technical Assistance Center is led by the National Federation of Families.

SUMMARY:Strategies for Providing Whole Child Care: A Blueprint for Meeting Children’s Social Needs
DESCRIPTION:Manatt \nStrong evidence suggests that investing in children’s social needs leads to long-term improvements in health\, economic stability and resilience. Despite this growing body of research\, stakeholders have historically prioritized addressing the health-related social needs (HRSN)\, also referred to as social drivers of health (SDOH)\, of adults with complex health issues due to the short-term return on investment (ROI). As programs to address nonmedical factors that impact health become more prevalent\, the HRSN of children and youth are gaining greater attention. \n\nIn a new webinar\, Manatt will facilitate a panel discussion with state and national leaders who are pioneering new ways to address the HRSN of children. Manatt’s Cindy Mann will then review the emerging opportunities for financing children’s HRSN interventions. The program will review recent developments and promising approaches for financing the HRSN of children\, including 1115 waivers\, “in lieu of services” (ILOS)\, and Children’s Health and Wellness Funds. Click here to register for this free program. Key topics include: \n\nA panel discussion about the growing activity and interest in investments in the HRSN of children and youth\nThe factors that tend to limit investment in the HRSN of children and youth\, including the long-term vs. short-term ROI for health plans\, providers and state Medicaid agencies\nThe actions the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) and states are taking to implement policy solutions—including examples of the latest waiver approvals—and how they are advancing new approaches to supporting the HRSN of children and youth\nHow Children’s Health and Wellness Funds offer a complementary or additional approach for financing HRSN initiatives for children\, youth and their families\n\nEven if you can’t make our live program on May 2\, click here to register for the free webinar now and you’ll receive a link to view the program on demand. \nPresenters\n\nModerator: Jocelyn Guyer\, Senior Managing Directory\nPanel of state and national innovators implementing new strategies for addressing HRSN of children and youth\, including:\n\nCindy Mann\, Partner\, Manatt Health\nDr. Kara Walker\, Executive Vice President and Chief Population Health Officer\, Nemours Children’s Health\nSteph Jarem\, Director\, Office of Health Policy\, Oregon Health Authority\n\n\n\nRSVP:\nClick here to register free. \nRegister Now

SUMMARY:Preventing Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) – Where Do We Go From Here?
DESCRIPTION:There is growing recognition that unaddressed Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) can greatly impact young people’s development and their future well-being. However\, what is less well-known is that racism\, oppression\, and historical trauma have an enormous impact on ACEs and how they perpetuate in families and communities. If we truly want to promote healing from ACEs now and prevent ACEs in the future\, then we must address the root causes of ACEs\, including racism and oppression. \nPlease join the NTTAC in this upcoming session that explores preventing ACEs from an equitable and antiracist lens. This panel is co-hosted with PACEsConnection and honors lived experience. \nJoining in this session will be a young adult with lived experience\, a child and adolescent psychiatrist\, and a community organizer. Together\, the panelists will bring their varying perspectives to discuss the connection between ACEs and oppression and effective strategies for taking action. The panelists will explore barriers that make it challenging to address racism as a root cause of ACEs\, and solutions for overcoming these challenges. \nRegister here >>
