SUMMARY:Addressing the Adverse Impacts of COVID-19 on Children with Serious Emotional Disorders
DESCRIPTION:Since March 2020\, children across the country have been isolated at home participating in distance learning. The impacts academically\, socially\, and emotionally have been staggering\, particularly for children with pre-existing serious emotional disorders and their families. There has been a reduction in referrals to child protective services\, an increase in isolation\, depression\, anxiety\, and a decrease in engagement which can lead to lower academic success. What do all of these things mean in the short-term and the long-term? What can be done to attempt to mitigate some of these adverse effects? Join our Roundtable Discussion as we provide information and answer your questions. \nBy the end of the roundtable discussion\, participants will be able to:\n• Understand the impact of distance learning on academic outcomes\n• Explain the social-emotional impacts of distance learning\n• Describe two trauma-informed\, resilience-oriented strategies to address the impacts \nRegister here: eventsna3.adobeconnect.com/content/connect/c1/986655080/en/events/event/shared/1700946820/event_registration.html?sco-id=3045149718

SUMMARY:What is a System of Care and How Does the Interagency Coordinating Council for Children and Youth Fit Into It?
DESCRIPTION:The term “System of Care” is often used to describe mental health approaches and is actually mandated in Mississippi state law. This webinar explains the infrastructure of Mississippi’s system of care and the laws that tell how it is supposed to function. This session is part of a five-part series and focuses on the Interagency Coordinating Council for Children and Youth – what it is and how it supports families and family-driven practice. This series is meant to familiarize families and those working with them with system of care concepts and is not intended to replace more formal training such as those offered by the Mississippi Wraparound Institute. All sessions are appropriate for families\, those working with them and policymakers.\n\n\n\n\n\nRegister here >>
