Common concerns among first responders include Post-Traumatic Stress Injury (PTSI)\, suicidality\, anxiety\, depression\, and substance use disorders\, which can significantly affect their well-being and job performance. \nParticipants will learn to identify early signs of mental health struggles within first responder populations\, explore effective stress management and coping strategies\, learn about wellness check-in programs\, and become familiar with treatment options. \nRegister Through Justice Clearinghouse\n  URL:https://minnesotachildrensalliance.org/training/justice-clearinhouse-bolo-mental-health-for-first-responders/ LOCATION:Online Webinar CATEGORIES:Advocacy,Mental Health,Multidisciplinary teams,Online Webinar,Trauma-Informed Practice END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Chicago:20250403T120000 DTEND;TZID=America/Chicago:20250403T153000 DTSTAMP:20260410T094530 CREATED:20250221T212835Z LAST-MODIFIED:20250221T212835Z UID:10001105-1743681600-1743694200@minnesotachildrensalliance.org SUMMARY:IHS | Supporting LGBTQ+ Youth: Challenges\, Resources\, and Professional Resilience DESCRIPTION:Training Overview\nLGBTQ+ youth\, like all young people\, require environments that nurture their physical\, emotional\, and psychological well-being. They face unique challenges due to stigma\, discrimination\, and lack of understanding\, which can impact their developmental outcomes. LGBTQ+ youth can be at higher risk for suicidal ideation\, self-harm\, running away\, homelessness\, abuse\, and commercial sexual exploitation . These youth along with their families\, benefit from the support of compassionate\, informed professionals to provide services\, information\, and advocacy. \nThe LGBTQ+ community intersects with many other identities and communities. It is imperative that professionals maintain awareness of the intersectional needs of youth. In addition\, professionals supporting the needs of LGBTQ+ youth are having to factor in the rise of political initiatives to reduce or ban support of this population. This leads to ethical dilemmas and the risk of moral injury to the professional. Youth need consistent caring support from adults who are knowledgeable\, well-resourced\, and resilient. Professional self-care is critical so that adults can continue to provide ethical\, responsive care to the diversity of youth in the LGBTQ+ community. \nThis intermediate-level course is appropriate for social workers\, counselors\, psychologists\, and other human services professionals serving LGBTQ+ youth. \nLearning Objectives \n\nDescribe the unique challenges faced by LGBTQ+ youth due to stigma\, discrimination\, and lack of understanding including intersectional identities.\nIdentify a variety of approaches and interventions that support the developmental needs of LGBTQ+ youth.\nCreate a list of resources for support\, advocacy\, and information to benefit LGBTQ+ youth\, their families\, and their communities.\nDiscuss the awareness and implementation of professional self-care so that providers can maintain the resilience needed to provide ethical\, responsive care to LGBTQ+ youth.\n\nRegister Through IHS\nThis training course if free but $10 to receive continuing education credits.

Ethical decision-making is particularly challenging with adolescents because legal rights\, ethical concerns\, and guidelines change as clients age. An ethical humility framework enables you to support your client’s growth and development while upholding your professional responsibilities. \nExploring the micro and macro levels of ethical humility in your work with adolescents ensures that you support your clients’ rights to self-advocacy in your professional role. The complex interplay of individual and parental rights with varied laws and guidelines requires careful consideration. As a child progresses from adolescence to adulthood\, their decision-making capacity evolves. Developing an ethical decision-making process ensures that adolescent clients receive appropriate care from professionals. Adopting an ethical humility perspective strengthens the professional’s ability to meet the client where they are. \nEthical decision-making is crucial for all professionals working with adolescents. This intermediate-level virtual course is appropriate for psychologists\, social workers\, counselors\, and other helping professionals who work with adolescents in their practice. \nLearning Objectives\n\nDescribe the framework of ethical humility as applied to working with adolescents.\nDescribe the impact of changing developmental stages in addressing ethical dilemmas with adolescents.\nUtilize ethical humility principles in communication with their clients to prevent\, assess\, and manage ethical dilemmas.\nDevelop a plan regarding professional consultation to address ethical dilemmas.\n\nAbout the Trainer\nLaura Gaines\, MSW\, LISW-S.\, is a trainer and researcher with a current focus on resilience as an individual and community skill.
