SUMMARY:Heart Work Series: Healing-Centered Reunification
DESCRIPTION:National Training & TA Center for Child\, Youth\, & Family Mental Health \nHealing-Centered Reunification\, led by Lane Krumpos\, focuses on reframing reunification practices through a healing-centered approach. Participants will explore the values and phases of reunification\, viewing them through the lens of “The Water of Systems Change” by John Kania\, Mark Kramer\, and Peter Senge. \nThe session emphasizes shifting from trauma-informed care to healing-centered engagement\, where individuals are seen not just as victims of trauma\, but as agents in their well-being. Key objectives include understanding the importance of healing-centered practices\, identifying strengths-based strategies\, and fostering transformative change by addressing systemic structures’ implicit\, semi-implicit\, and explicit aspects. Through interactive discussions\, scenarios\, and reflections\, participants will be more aware of how to implement equitable\, culturally responsive\, and relationship-focused reunification efforts in their communities and schools. \nRegister here>>

SUMMARY:Save the Date! A Stronger WE:  Building Stronger Support\, Alignment\, and Impact for Systems of Care
DESCRIPTION:National Training & TA Center for Child\, Youth\, & Family Mental Health \nToday\, we are working harder than ever to live into the power and possibility of using the System of Care (SOC) approach to transform the lives of children and families in our communities. We are being called to solve an increasingly complex set of challenges that cannot be solved without strengthening fragile community partnerships\, realigning our partners’ goals\, and smart stewarding of resources that must stretch to meet an ever-increasing need for mental health services and support. Even when our systems of care collaboratively focus on solutions and expanding opportunities for diverse populations\, our need to simultaneously build and share power for this work is often unintentionally under-resourced\, overlooked\, or deprioritized. \nRegister here>>
