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: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.
