SUMMARY:First Witness Trauma Informed Advocacy in Practice
DESCRIPTION:Training Overview\nBeing “trauma-informed” is a term that is heard a lot in this field\, but what does it actually look like in your advocacy practice? This session will discuss how to be more trauma-informed within your current advocacy practice and perspective. In this session we will consider how childhood and historical trauma impacts both the physical and mental health of the families we work with\, as well as the power of resiliency factors. Participants will also take this information and learn how to apply this knowledge to their advocacy practice from the first meeting through any ongoing advocacy\, including community advocacy. The session will end with the acknowledgement that healthy advocates are more effective advocates\, and will discuss self-care\, secondary trauma\, and how to prevent burnout. \nRegister Through First Witness\n

SUMMARY:Changing the Narrative on Suicide and Mental Health
DESCRIPTION:Training Overview\nTalking about mental health and suicide can be an uncomfortable and uncertain topic that brings up different feelings\, beliefs\, and attitudes for everyone. Changing the Narrative is an interactive conversation that empowers participants to change perceptions of mental health towards hope and resilience. The goal is to know that individuals are not alone\, help is available\, and healing is possible. \nThroughout the session\, participants will engage in dialog about being intentional in the words we are using. Certain ways of talking about mental health and suicide can alienate members of any community\, sensationalize the issue\, contribute to a decrease in help-seeking behavior\, or even present suicide as a glamorous\, preferred way of dealing with problems. Having healthy conversations about mental health and suicide avoids harmful messages that might increase suicide risk in individuals or undermine suicide prevention goals. By doing this safely\, it reduces stigma\, mitigates risks\, promotes help-seeking\, and respects all individuals. \nAbout the Trainer\n \nTanya Carter is the Suicide Prevention Unit Supervisor for the Minnesota Department of Health. Ms. Carter has 20 plus years of experience in community education programs\, program development\, and crisis intervention. She is passionate about suicide prevention and reducing the stigma related to mental illness. Prior to joining the Minnesota Department of Health\, Ms. Carter worked in tribal and county government\, coordinating and leading mental health\, mobile crisis\, and suicide prevention efforts in rural Minnesota. Ms. Carter is a safeTALK\, ASIST\, Postvention and CALM trainer. In her free time Ms. Carter enjoys spending time outdoors with her husband and two children\, in the winter time you will find her on the ski slopes with her kids\, and in the summer months enjoying time at the lake\, the in-between seasons are spent biking the beautiful Minnesota bike trails. \nRegister Here\nThis training is free for all attendees. \n*Participants will be emailed a Zoom link one week prior and the day of the training. \nContinuing Education\nOne social work continuing education is provided.

SUMMARY:IHS Trauma Lab
DESCRIPTION:Training Overview\nOur world is hazardous. And our kids often get caught in the cross-fire. Whether the crisis is a terrorist act or as individual as a parent dying\, this lab will give hands-on approaches participants can use to help clients work through trauma issues. Sometimes\, as much as we try\, words in session\, words spoken in care\, often seem to fall on deaf ears. Or sometimes the opposite is true; words spoken trigger such strong emotions\, the client starts to relive the trauma. \nTrauma Lab is designed to help you develop Learning Bridges—hands-on practical approaches that can be used in clinical and non-clinical settings to help children and youth to process their trauma without the use of a lot of words. For example\, hand them a pencil and ask them to break it. The client may be able to relate their trauma experiences to the very real\, tangible broken pencil. At that point\, they may be better able to process the effects of trauma in their life. End that same session with a broken pencil by having them write or draw something and help them see that trauma does not ruin everything. \nThis intermediate-level training is appropriate for counselors\, social workers\, psychologists\, other helping professionals\, and foster caregivers working with children and youth who have experienced life-altering traumatic events. Participants will acquire helpful tools to better support the healing journey for those who have been traumatized. Download the flyer here. \nLearning Objectives\n\nIdentify practical strategies for guiding children and youth through their trauma issues\nDevelop skills to work through quiet and/or resistant youth\nExplore how to move beyond dialogue by using active learning techniques with traumatized children and youth\n\nAbout Trainer\nJim Still-Pepper\, MA\, LSW is the Director of Community Based Clinical Services at Allwell Behavioral Health Services Inc.\, a community mental health center where he has worked for over 3 decades striving to get clinical services out of the centers\, and into the community.

By gaining this knowledge\, learners will increase their effectiveness and competency in conducting thorough investigations as well as defending these investigations and forensic interviews in the court room \nLearning Objectives: \n\nUnderstand the history of forensic interviewing and how that shaped the protocols today.\nRecognize how the art and science of forensic interviewing can be applied to other populations with unique needs.\nBuild confidence in speaking about the research and best practices of forensic interviewing.\n\nRegister Through CornerHouse\n*Please note – the capacity of this training is 100 attendees.
