Mentor Learning Series: Assets of PRIDE: Promoting Strengths-Based Relationships for LGBTQ+ Youth
Submitted by Harmony Wright on Mon, 08/19/2024 - 11:18
This year, more than 500 anti-LGBT bills have been sponsored in states across the country. In this climate, LGBTQ+ youth are quickly losing access to critical resources, supportive programming, and spaces of belonging. In addition, many caring adults, mentors, child welfare providers, educators, and youth serving organizations are unsure of what, if anything, they can do to affirm LGBTQ+ young people in their care.
In this Mentor Learning Series, Dr. Christian Rummell from Mentorist Consulting will highlight individual actions that each of us can take to counter risks and hostile climates faced by LGBTQ+ young people. In this session, you will learn about the Assets of PRIDE---intentional strategies you can take to build strengths-based relationships for LGBTQ+ young people that specifically encourage Possibilities, Resilience, Identity, Development and Engagement.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Dr. Christian Rummell has over 25 years of experience as a researcher, training and technical assistance provider, and practitioner in the youth mentoring field—with specific expertise on mentoring LGBTQ+ youth. Dr. Rummell is the co-author of the LGBTQ Supplement to the Elements of Effective Practice and is the lead consultant on the Big Brothers Big Sisters of America LGBTQ+ youth mentoring enhancement initiative. At Portland State University’s Center for Interdisciplinary Mentoring Research, Dr. Rummell conducted one of the first studies on the role of mentors in supporting identity development in gay youth.

Substance Use and Permanent Supportive Housing: Results from the PerCH Survey
Submitted by megbrunner on Tue, 09/03/2024 - 12:54
What do permanent supportive housing residents think about drug use, overdose, where they live, and their service needs?
Residents living in permanent supportive housing are at a higher risk to witness or have an overdose. To learn more about this group of people and substance use issues, UW ADAI Research Coordinator and MSW Student Saul Petersky conducted a survey of 188 residents in ten counties across WA State.
The WA State Permanent Supportive Housing Perceptions and Community Health (PerCH) Survey asked residents about:
- Perceptions of substance use in housing, and related service needs and policies
- Knowledge of overdose response and naloxone access
- Community relationships, isolation, and sense of empowerment
This webinar will present results from the survey and identify potential strategies to address overdose and substance use in these programs, and better support residents who use drugs. A full report on the survey results will be released in September.

NORTHWEST CENTER FOR FAMILY SUPPORT (NCFS): Supporting Caregivers in OUD Recovery and Promoting Prevention for Youth
Submitted by ebacon on Mon, 08/26/2024 - 12:44
Description: Northwest Center for Family Support (NCFS), housed within the University of Washington’s Social Development Research Group, was established to build capacity and increase access to family-focused EBIs for families impacted by opioid use disorder (OUD) in Washington State. Children whose caregivers have been diagnosed with OUD are at increased risk for behavioral health disorders, emotional and behavioral challenges, abuse or neglect, and early substance use initiation. EBIs exist that can help families build nurturing, responsive, effective parenting skills and strengthen family communication and problem-solving. They have been shown to support caregivers’ own recovery and improve outcomes in children and adolescents. NCFS provides free EBI training, consultation, and technical assistance to opioid treatment programs and other service providers to support EBI selection, training, and implementation. Presenters will share lessons learned to inform efforts to increase family-friendly treatment to families impacted by OUD.
Objectives: By the end of this webinar, participants should be able to:
• Understand how the University of Washington’s Northwest Center for Family Support is increasing access to evidence-based parenting support for caregivers in OUD recovery who have children 0-14
• Identify potential adverse outcomes for children living with a caregiver with OUD • Understand how the 4 evidence-based interventions (EBIs) supported by NCFS can mitigate adverse outcomes for children while supporting caregiver recovery
• Understand NCFS’s wraparound approach to supporting sites as they implement the family-focused EBIs
• Apply lessons-learned from NCFS’ first two years of operations, including strategies for addressing challenges of providing services to support families across the care continuum
