SUMMARY:The Intellectual Disability/Developmental Disability (ID/DD) Waiver (A Parents Journey)
DESCRIPTION:Arc of Northeast Mississippi \nArc of Northeast Mississippi hosts a discussion on the ID/DD (Intellectual Disability/Developmental Disability) Waiver. This is your opportunity to gain valuable insights into the current state of the waiver and be a part of the conversation on the changes needed to improve it. \nNatalie Gunnells\, the loving mother of Patrick (diagnosed with severe Autism)\, has not received adequate services for her son and saw that change was needed. Natalie has been a strong advocate for changes needed in the system and is advocating for waiver changes that would benefit not only her son Patrick but many. \nJoin in and listen to her journey\, her progress\, and her recommendations in an upcoming proposal. Natalie will also give a quick recap of the meeting she attended on February 10th at the Department of Rehabilitation Services in Madison MS. This was a public meeting and Natalie provided MDRS with concerns during public comments in the meeting in hopes that it will be considered while considering proposals to be incorporated into the next ID/DD waiver program. \nAll written proposals for ID/DD Waiver changes must be submitted by February 24th so this meeting will definitely be insightful. \nAll Proposals are due on or before Feb 24th! There isn’t much time left!

SUMMARY:A Whole Person Approach to Youth and Young Adult Employment Services
DESCRIPTION:National Training & TA Center \nAssisting a young person in securing employment extends far beyond resume writing\, job searches\, and interview preparation\, especially when the young person is navigating mental health challenges. As providers\, it’s often easy to develop priorities for young people based on what we think is best for their lives. However\, disengagement (physically and emotionally) occurs when the young person does not share our priorities\, which can be highly frustrating for the young person\, their support system\, the supporting staff members\, and the employer. \nWhere do we go from here? A successful employment process requires authentic long-term professional relationships. It also requires an in-depth understanding of a young person’s past and how it impacts their present\, in addition to understanding their triggers\, fears\, dreams\, and goals. Effective communication and culturally engaging\, age-specific youth and young adult-led processes\, procedures\, and tools are critical to sustainable success. Join us to learn more and create your plan of action! \nParticipants will: \n\nIncrease their understanding of how mental health and traumas impact employment readiness and employment sustainability.\nIdentify practices that may be promoting YYA employment disengagement outcomes within their organizations and programs.\nLearn about the employment readiness tools and programs implemented by the Pacific Mountain Workforce Development Council for young people who are justice-involved and navigating mental health challenges.\nIdentify strategies and a plan of action to enhance YYA employment success in their local communities through interactive peer conversations and role-play activities.\n\nRegister here >>

SUMMARY:Reframing Language in Behavioral Health Care
DESCRIPTION:National Federation of Families  \nLanguage is a powerful tool that shapes how we see the world and other people. The words we use matter\, as they have the potential to be both empowering and harmful. This is especially true for words used to describe the experiences of people living with mental illness and substance use challenges. During this webinar\, presenters will introduce four new language tools that outline outdated language\, updated language\, and why these changes matter. \nThe presentation will be followed by a panel discussion on how behavioral health care providers can use language to create a more inclusive and respectful environment for families\, older adults\, African Americans\, and LGBTQ+ populations. \nThis webinar is hosted in partnership with the National Family Support Technical Assistance Center\, the African American Behavioral Health Center of Excellence\, the E4 Center of Excellence for Behavioral Health Disparities in Aging\, and the Center of Excellence on LGBTQ+ Behavioral Health Equity. \nRegister here >>

SUMMARY:Research Connections with Louisiana and Mississippi Chapters - The Social Roots of Adolescent Suicide
DESCRIPTION:American Foundation for Suicide Prevention \nJoin AFSP’s Research Connection: The Social Roots of Suicide presented by Anna Mueller\, PhD \nLearn more about Dr. Mueller’s work on the social roots of suicide and the social-contextual and upstream risk (and protective) factors for suicide. Dr. Mueller will also explain why youth and individuals with lived experience must be included as partners in suicide prevention and how to identify social-contextual issues that schools\, communities\, parents\, and mental health workers must consider when managing a context with a disproportionate number of youth suicides or suicide attempts. \nCommunity members\, mental health professionals\, school administrators\, educators\, youth leaders\, and parents are welcome and encouraged to attend. \nAbout Dr. Mueller: Anna S. Mueller\, Ph.D.\, is the Luther Dana Waterman Associate Professor in the Department of Sociology at Indiana University. She is the Principal Investigator of the Social Worlds & Youth Well-being Study which is a project that aims to identify effective\, equitable\, and sustainable strategies to prevent suicide in schools and their communities. In 2020\, she was named one of Science News’s Top 10 Early Career Scientists to Watch. Her research on youth suicide has received numerous awards for its contribution to knowledge\, including the Edwin Shneidman Early Career Award from the American Association of Suicidology. Her work is supported by grant funding from the National Institute of Mental Health\, the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention\, and the Western Colorado Community Foundation. She is passionate about helping schools\, families\, and communities find better ways to prevent suicide and heal after suicide losses. \nAbout AFSP’s Research Connection Program: The more we understand about suicide\, the more we can prevent it. AFSP-funded research is essential to our mission of saving lives and bringing hope to those affected by suicide. Our research funding goes toward studies from neurobiological\, psychosocial\, and genetic perspectives\, as well as topics including clinical treatment\, community intervention\, and survivors of suicide loss. Our grants help sponsor young investigators\, engage senior researchers in suicide prevention\, and foster new ideas from suicide researchers at all levels to build a scientific community. We believe it is important to share our findings to increase public knowledge and awareness. Learn more at afsp.org/research. Watch video interviews of experts from around the world as they discuss their work and the future of suicide prevention research here. \n*For virtual events\, a Zoom link will be sent 1-2 days before the presentation. \n\n\nRegister here >>

SUMMARY:NTTAC Event: Dismantling the Foster Care-to-Prison Pipeline
DESCRIPTION:National Training & TA Center for Child\, Youth\, & Family Mental Health \nThe term “foster care-to-prison pipeline” refers to the pathways that position children and youth in the foster care system to be far more likely than their peers to experience incarceration and justice system involvement. According to the Juvenile Law Center\, 90% of youth with five or more foster placements will enter the justice system. In a separate study from the University of Chicago\, over half of foster youth reported being arrested\, spending the night in a correctional facility\, or being convicted of a crime. Youth of color and LGBTQ+ youth\, who are overrepresented in the foster care system\, are disproportionately impacted by these outcomes. \nBy engaging in courageous conversations\, participants will learn how the foster care-to-prison pipeline impacts youth and families within systems of care. Further\, participants will be inspired by the lived experience of presenters Yusef Preseley and Marquen Teetz. They will be called to action as the webinar asks them to imagine ways of dismantling the foster care-to-prison pipeline in their local communities. \nSession Duration: 90 minutes \n\n\n\nRegister here >>
