Community Resilience Initiative: Course 3 Trauma-informed training of trainersCommunity Resilience Initiative: Course 3 Trauma-informed training of trainers
Submitted by Endalkachew.abebaw on Wed, 12/23/2020 - 10:05
This online 4 Part [3 hours per part] Course will be held via Zoom over the course of four days. March 23, March 25, March 30, April 1, 2021. 9:00am to 12:00pm (Pacific) each day. Course 3 - Trauma-Practitioners Neuroscience provides a new lens through which to view challenging and disruptive behavior. This information helps us to respond more compassionately and effectively to individuals that use adaptive strategies to cope with their experiences. Being true to CRI’s K.I.S.S. framework, we believe that dealing more effectively with these individuals requires, first and foremost, the knowledge and insight into why they behave as they do. Once that it is achieved, then we employ strategies based on that knowledge and insight. This course is about those compassionate and effective intervention strategies for challenging behavior. During this four part training for trauma practitioners, participants will learn the foundation of the trauma- informed approach to understanding and helping individuals with behavioral challenges. Challenging behavior has traditionally been thought of as willful and goal oriented which has led to approaches that focus on motivating better behavior using reward and punishment programs. If you’ve tried these strategies and they haven’t worked, this course is for you! Research over the past 30 years demonstrates that a lack of crucial thinking skills results in challenging and disruptive behavior. CRI’s Course 3 focuses on helping to teach the skills these individuals lack while resolving the problems that tend to precipitate challenging behavior. Participants will:

Learners will gain skills and tools to navigate change and explore what it means to be a learning organization. They will also look at how their organization’s systems and processes help or hinder their work to address change as a normal course of business. Are those systems and processes sufficiently flexible, adaptable, and accountable? Are they adequate for the level of change the organization is experiencing? If not, what other systems or strategies are needed?

Suicide prevention is an area of our work that is difficult to sustain a long-term commitment to. The emotional work takes a toll, and we must seek self-care regularly. Prevention strategies for Latinx and Indigenous populations are not singular nor is there one approach for all individuals or communities. Understanding the importance of cultural elements and the need to adapt any prevention strategies in order to be most effective is a primary task. Providers, community leaders, and parents must work together to uncover the reasons behind young people and adults reporting feelings of sadness, hopelessness, and despair. Visionaries and leaders must activate hope and compassion for those who seek a new approach to life’s problems. This session will explore strategies to encourage new approaches to prevention and treatment.

SOPHE 2021dX Educational Tracks: The health education and promotion profession provides opportunities for growth and professional development through mentorship, professional preparation, and continuing education while focusing on best practices in pedagogical procedures and techniques. Through the occurrences of the COVID-19 pandemic, professionals garnered experience and knowledge to share with the next workforce on increasing these skills. 2. Systems Thinking, Interconnectedness and Health in all Policies Health educators regularly face complex public health problems that are multi-causal including social determinants of health. As such, they require an array of health education and promotion tools (e.g., health in all policies) and non-public health partners to address the interrelatedness of aspects of the problem. 3. Social Justice and Health Equity A social justice approach to health education and promotion guides us to work towards creating equity to improve the public’s health. Addressing social determinants will help us move toward achieving health equity. However, what is missing from social determinants models is an explicit recognition that discriminatory systems related to race, ethnicity, immigration status, LBGTQ+, disability and other forms of prejudices have historically helped create inequities in health outcomes. 4. School Health Prek-12 schools are uniquely positioned to promote positive lifelong health behaviors through the design, implementation, and evaluation of coordinated school health education, programs, and services. During the recent pandemic, the country witnessed schools and educators coming together to fulfill the unprecedented needs of students and families — including providing meals, technological equipment, virtual instruction, and a sense of normalcy — with very little time, training, or resources. 5. Digital Health, Health Communication, and Health Literacy The COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted the critical need for accurate, timely, clear and culturally and linguistically appropriate communication of health information, delivered by trusted messengers through targeted channels. Digital communications have dominated the formation of consumer knowledge, attitudes and behaviors related to COVID-19, but many times not reaching those with low health literacy skills.

Even before the COVID-19 pandemic, excessive drinking affected approximately 50 million Americans and was the 3rd largest preventable cause of death in the United States. Alcohol elevates the risk of almost all chronic health conditions such as cardiovascular disease and diabetes, and is closely tied to mental health conditions such as depression and anxiety. In the past year, alcohol consumption has increased 14% across the board, with heavy drinking rates for women increasing 41%. Surveys have shown that only 2% of excessive drinkers receive any treatment due to a variety of barriers to care. This webinar will introduce a no-shame, labels optional, evidenced-based approach to treating excessive drinking employed at Tempest, a digital recovery platform.

Registration opens March 23, 2021The purpose of this session is three-fold: 1) to enhance institutional awareness of suicide risk, which is the second leading cause of death among college-aged students; 2) to examine certain racial, ethnic, and cultural dynamics, gender identities, and sexual orientations, and their relationship to suicide risk and protective factors; 3) to offer participants an opportunity to work, in small groups, to develop strategies for reducing on-campus suicide risk factors, while simultaneously increasing protective factors among diverse populations. This session will discuss research that shows that campuses that successfully create LGBTQ+ affirmative environments can reduce suicide risk among these populations.This session will also examine rising rates of suicide among African Americans entering college, which have historically been under reported due to unique cultural expressions of suicide. Further, the workshop will examine suicidal issues among specific Asian and Pacific Islander ethnicities, including a related case presentation. This session should particularly benefit student life/student affairs personnel concerned about suicide risk and interested in developing policies and procedures aimed at increasing factors that protect against suicide. Similarly, this session will be of interest to all members of university communities who would like to contribute to the creation of safer campus environments.

One of the largest barriers to providing appropriate substance use services to adolescents is getting them to open up about their use and engage in conversation to reduce or eliminate it, if necessary. The Using SBIRT to Talk to Adolescents about Substance Use four-part webinar series introduces health professionals to the SBIRT model as a way to learn from adolescents about their substance use, talk about what might motivate them to make a decision to reduce or abstain (if needed), and execute a plan to do so. This first webinar in the series discusses the value, rationale for, and evidence of using the Screening, Brief Intervention, and Referral to Treatment (SBIRT) model with adolescents as well as the use of valid, brief screening tools for substance use and other risk factors and how to determine the recommended level of intervention based on level of risk. Participants will learn how to introduce screening to adolescents and how to relate screening score results to level of risk and appropriate level of intervention. This webinar will review the CRAFFT+N 2.1, S2BI, the NIDA Modified ASSIST Levels 1 and 2, BSTAD, PHQ-2/9A, and C-SSRS for use with adolescents, providing instructions and scoring for each. Along with cutting-edge, evidence-based education, the expert presenters will provide sample scripts and role plays so participants gain strategies to use right away with adolescents in many settings. This free education is ideal for anyone who wishes to gain an in-depth understanding of SBIRT and its use with adolescents, designed for both those who are new to SBIRT and for those who want more advanced training beyond an overview.

Looking for ways to truly engage sector representatives to assist in driving community change? We will look at innovative ways to bring all sectors to the table and keep them there. From the school sector to the healthcare sector to the business sector; we will take a look at the sectors coalitions many times need to have around the table to truly make the change they are striving to make. Oftentimes coalitions do not know who within a sector group they should initially engage or invite to the table; learn how others have brought people to the table and kept them long term. Many times, looking at the WIFM (What’s in it for Me) is what really creates true engagement. During this session there will be real life examples shared of how coalitions have continued to work collaboratively to drive change throughout their community.

According to a recent study in JAMA Pediatrics, 45% of teens who vape want to quit. These teens need help and support to quit successfully, but they may not feel ready to enroll in a traditional cessation program. Plus, it’s hard to face a problem that started socially… alone. Join us for a sneak preview into a social-first, teen-first, vaping-first intervention developed in partnership with Hopelab, UCSF, and Rescue Agency. Through peer support groups on Instagram, we educate teens on quitting, provide behavioral and cognitive coping tools to make quitting easier, and connect them with social support from other teens who are trying to quit.
