Writing to heal (Wednesday series, 4/5)
Writing to heal (Wednesday series, 4/5)
Submitted by wilsokl107 on Tue, 02/20/2024 - 11:46
Join the National American Indian and Alaska Native Childhood Trauma TSA Center in learning from native author, artist, and speaker Tanaya Winder! Indigenous people have undergone much historical, ancestral, and personal trauma. At times it can be difficult to process these traumas or soul wounds, but one way to cope and help make sense of these events is through presence and mindfulness. A grounded mindset can be accessed through asking powerful questions and exploring new perspectives through reflective and expressive writing. Learning how to render your emotions on the page is a form of “heartspeak.” Heartspeak can be one of the most helpful skills because it is a means of processing joys, hurts, and everything in between. This workshop offers writing prompts to help you tap into parts of your journey that you want to reexamine with compassion and kindness. You will also learn writing prompts and techniques that you can implement in your own talking/healing circles, workshops, or client sessions. Facilitation techniques and what it means for you to create and maintain space to find light and a sense of belonging and acceptance in yourself and your communities will also be covered. The goal is to help you discover how writing can be used as a healing tool to develop a better understanding of the human condition regarding loving others and yourself. Note: Writing to heal sessions are being offered every other week on Wednesdays and Fridays. The same material will be covered in both sessions each week. Wednesday sessions:

The power of a witness: Using narrative exposure therapy to support students' trauma recovery
Submitted by wilsokl107 on Mon, 03/11/2024 - 12:39
Workshop 3 of 6 in the "Trauma-informed, in school sessions" workshop series. View the series page for full details. This workshop provides an exploration of Narrative Exposure Therapy (NET), an evidence-based approach tailored for adults or children, particularly refugees and immigrants, with multiple traumatic experiences. Kids Narrative Exposure Therapy (KIDNET) is a therapy designed for children and adolescents who have experienced trauma, especially in conflict zones. KIDNET therapy focuses on reprocessing traumatic memories by contrasting the memories with the present feelings through narration. It focuses on helping them process their traumatic memories by creating a "lifeline" and uses techniques like storytelling, art, and role-play to aid in healing and recovery. Led by Dr. Alejandra Acuña, this workshop guides us towards a comprehensive understanding of NET's principles and techniques, learning how to utilize storytelling to help students process and integrate traumatic memories resulting in reduced PTSD symptoms. Attendees will walk away equipped with practical strategies and insights to provide culturally responsive support to students, fostering resilience and facilitating healing within diverse educational settings (e.g., green lights, yellow lights, and red lights of NET implementation!). Importantly, Dr. Acuña will share not only about the evidence based approach, but how the implementation of it in itself can and should be trauma-informed and culturally responsive so that students and their families experience their recovery through the trauma-informed principles of empowerment and collaboration.

National Indian Child Welfare Association's 42nd Annual Protecting Our Children Conference
National Indian Child Welfare Association's 42nd Annual Protecting Our Children Conference
Submitted by wilsokl107 on Tue, 12/26/2023 - 11:30
Each year, National Indian Child Welfare Association (NICWA) hosts the largest national gathering on American Indian and Alaska Native (AI/AN) child advocacy issues. With over 1,600 attendees—and growing every year—this three-day conference has become the premiere national event addressing tribal child welfare and well-being. Keynote speakers range from federal officials at the highest level of government to youth with lived experience in child welfare systems. New this year! For those who can’t make it to Seattle, we have a virtual option. All three of our amazing general sessions with over a dozen wonderful speakers will be broadcast virtually. If you can’t make it in person, consider being a virtual attendee. NICWA provides meaningful programming to conference attendees, creating a space where participants can learn about the latest developments and best practices from experts in the field and from one another. Participants represent a cross-section of fields and interests including child welfare, mental health, and juvenile justice service providers; legal professionals; students; advocates for children; and tribal, state, and federal leaders. Conference theme - Together we stand: Preserving the spirit of ICWAThe Indian Child Welfare Act (ICWA) of 1978 powerfully proclaims “…that it is the policy of this Nation to protect the best interests of Indian children and to promote the stability and security of Indian families… (25 U.S.C. § 1902).” The spirit of ICWA ensures our children grow up with strong cultural identities, rooted in the language and traditions of our ancestors, so that our tribal communities remain strong. For over forty years, tribal nations fought to uphold this declaration and constitutional protection of their children. This has never been more evident than the coalition building, including grassroots efforts, that occurred during the Haaland v. Brackeen case. We saw 502 tribal nations, 62 Native organizations, 23 states and D.C., 87 congresspersons, and 27 child welfare and adoption organizations declare in unity their support for ICWA. Standing in solidarity with one another is how we achieved success. With this decision on the record, Indian Country is emboldened in our work to ensure compliance with ICWA and strengthen its implementation. With ICWA’s solid legal foundation affirmed, now is the time to work together to lift up tribal best practices and increase tribal child welfare capacity. To strengthen ICWA implementation, we must put our sights on tribal and state relationships, state ICWA laws, state-tribal policies and agreements, increased funding for tribal services including culturally based services, and federal policy and data collection. NICWA’s 42nd Annual Protecting Our Children Conference features innovative workshops, presentations, and cultural activities that provide the expertise and experience to support this advocacy agenda and build worker capacity to continue the important work of providing cultural best practices for Native children and families.

Workshop 4 of 6 in the "Trauma-informed, in school sessions" workshop series. View the series page for full details. Are you a school counselor, becoming a school counselor, or someone who teams/works with school counselors? Zeyda Garcia, founder of Healing Aguas Wellness Solutions and school counseling professor, joins our series to share how we can anchor and apply trauma-informed principles in school counseling practices, programs, and policies. In this workshop we will discuss a high-level overview of trauma, its impacts on students, and different strategies we can implement to support young people in counseling settings. Utilizing trauma informed school counseling practices, we can support young people in regulating their own nervous system and support them in accessing their education. Join us as we reflect on our unique school and personal practices, in order to enhance our trauma-informed support of students. Participants will walk away with practical tools they can use in sessions with students, families, and school-wide. Most importantly, and in Zeyda’s words, the workshop hopes to offer school counselors with “more creativity, courage and confidence in yourself as a counselor and a commitment to caring for yourself.”

This workshop offers writing prompts to help you tap into parts of your journey that you want to reexamine with compassion and kindness. You will also learn writing prompts and techniques that you can implement in your own talking/healing circles, workshops, or client sessions. Facilitation techniques and what it means for you to create and maintain space to find light and a sense of belonging and acceptance in yourself and your communities will also be covered. The goal is to help you discover how writing can be used as a healing tool to develop a better understanding of the human condition regarding loving others and yourself. Note: Writing to heal sessions are being offered every other week on Wednesdays and Fridays. The same material will be covered in both sessions each week. Friday sessions:

Deaths from excessive alcohol use on the rise in the US: What we know and what we can do
Submitted by wilsokl107 on Mon, 03/11/2024 - 07:36
Alcohol-related deaths have been increasing during the past two decades, and particularly in recent years. However, most studies focus only on deaths that are fully caused by alcohol use and do not also consider causes of deaths that are partially caused by alcohol use, such as injuries, motor vehicle crashes, certain types of cancer, and heart disease. This presentation will describe the most recent data available on deaths from excessive alcohol use in the United States using a comprehensive measure that accounts for 58 causes of alcohol-related deaths, as well as trends in these deaths. It will also discuss resources on effective strategies for reducing excessive drinking and alcohol-related harms, including deaths, to promote improved health and well-being.

Workshop 5 of 6 in the "Trauma-informed, in school sessions" workshop series. View the series page for full details. How might we partner with parents, caregivers and families through trauma informed approaches to support the mental health and well-being of the children and teens in their lives? In 2023, Project Cal-Well (a cross-agency mental health initiative led by the California Department of Education to promote mental health awareness and wellness among California's K-12 students) designed the Family Guide to Supporting Young People’s Mental Health and Well-Being for parents and other caregivers (available in English and Spanish), with input from families, educators, mental health professionals, and youth. By sharing tips for families on how to have conversations about social media use, mental health, anti-LGBTQ experiences, bullying and more, this guide provides parents and other caregivers with information and easy-to-use strategies to support their children’s overall well-being and mental health. How did the guide’s authors partner with students and their families to create this guide? How might we support students and families to dig into its information and leverage this resource to partner with parents and other caretakers? Join us to explore these questions, and the guide itself, while learning from several of its authors about how the guide’s development process was trauma informed. Participants will: (1) learn about the development and content of the guide; (2) have the opportunity to consider how to get the guide and related local resources into the hands of families; and (3) generate ideas for how to use individual sections of the guide to align with a school’s continuum of trauma-informed approaches and social, emotional, and behavioral supports.

"Where do you see yourself in 10 years?" We often ask young people to think about their futures, but the world we're asking them to think about living in is changing quickly. From screen time to social media to emerging substance use trends to being trauma-informed, preventionists have to stay up to date on the health of young people- so have you thought about climate change? Climate change is on the minds of upwards of 80% of young people, making it a standout issue. Increased stressors on communities, families, and individuals can mean increased mental health challenges, as well as other public health concerns, and people and communities will have different abilities to adapt to these changes depending on a host of socioeconomic factors. This training is designed as a conversation to help you begin to be climate-informed about these issues and more, so these subjects are familiar to you when bolstering youth and community resiliency, and helping young people find hopeful answers to the question, "Where do you see yourself in 10 years?"

Submitted by wilsokl107 on Mon, 03/11/2024 - 12:42
Workshop 6 of 6 in the "Trauma-informed, in school sessions" workshop series. View the series page for full details. As systemic inequities and trauma are often intertwined, addressing their connection becomes crucial in trauma-informed school communities. Centering equity in every student interaction and adult partnership supporting the school system is essential. The capacity for the adults responsible for implementing trauma-informed practices grounded in equity is nurtured through equity-centered coaching. In this workshop, we will explore the principles of equity-centered coaching to cultivate trauma-informed school environments. Coaching conversations, grounded in active listening, cultural humility, and psychological safety, model the equitable interactions we hope administrators have with educators and providers so that educators and providers can offer the same experience with their students. Together, we will examine our own identities, assumptions, patterns, and beliefs - creating space for new perspectives. This self-reflection enables us to recognize how inequities and trauma manifest in our schools. As we build self-awareness about our experiences and worldviews, we become better able to perceive concerning dynamics and interrupt cycles of harm. This workshop invites us to envision the trauma-informed and healing-centered schools we desire – places where adults possess the tools to nurture their well-being and fully empower students. We will review evidence-based tools, rationale, and resources to foster cultural humility, mitigate systemic barriers, and build trusting partnerships across the school community.

Prevention across the lifespan, webinar 2: Strategies for preventing substance misuse in older adults
Submitted by ZerfuY101 on Wed, 02/07/2024 - 16:08
There is growing concern among prevention specialists and public health officials regarding older adults and substance use, misuse, and increasing substance use disorders. Substance use in older adults is complicated and is often overlooked, especially when individuals are experiencing other aging related health conditions. While the number of older adults experiencing substance use disorders dramatically increased in the last 20 years, prevention services have not been tailored to the needs of older adults. This webinar will highlight the growing problem, approaches to understanding the older adult population in your community, and available strategies. Additionally, we will hear directly from preventionists who are implementing programming with this population.
