Description: The world climate of uncertainty, fear and worry enveloping the COVID pandemic has created new challenges for many people.  Prevention professionals are concerned about the rise in negative mental health outcomes and projected increases in suicide risk, domestic violence, and substance use.  While that risk appears to be escalating, COVID19 has made prevention both more relatable and more relevant.  This webinar takes a look at some of the challenges caused by the uncertainty of COVID19, including chronic stress, emotional distress, and loss through the lens of prevention.  It will provide strategies and solutions for health promotion, with practical tips that translate theory into workable practice.  It will also provide guidelines for implementing prevention strategies and educating clients on prevention.  A workbook via a downloadable PDF will accompany the training to reinforce the concepts provided in the webinar and for use as an ongoing resource. Learning Objectives: 1. Identify at least 3 ways people are coping with the uncertainty of COVID 2. Name 2 ways in which prevention strategies can be used to address emerging COVID concerns 3. Distinguish between emotional distress and trauma 4. Name 3 ways that post traumatic growth manifests itself 5.

Download the presentation Co-Hosted By: Southeast Mental Health Technology Transfer Center (MHTTC) Network   Presented by: Patti Clark, Ed.D, MBA, CPS Description: School safety is at the forefront of educators’ minds in light of recent high profile school shootings.  Academic achievement and social thriving are reduced when students don’t perceive they are safe.  Research shows that the perception of safety is a better predictor of student success than the presence of physical safety measures. Feeling safe in school is necessary for learning, and for physical, emotional and social development. Students who use substances are more likely to report their school is unsafe and to be fearful at school. However, schools don’t always include prevention strategies as a component of their school safety plans.  Prevention professionals play an important role in educating schools on the role of behavioral health issues in the perception of school safety, and supporting the inclusion of prevention education to students and their parents, and the implementation of policies and procedures that create a pathway for connecting students to appropriate resources. In this webinar, participants will learn about the findings from a recent Kentucky study that looked at the association between substance use, mental health issues, interpersonal violence, and problem behaviors and the perception of safety of students. We will review specific prevention strategies that schools should consider, and will provide talking points to create dialogue with educational systems around the inclusions of behavioral health prevention components in school safety plans. Learning Objectives: Participants will review research on the importance the perception of safety plays in academic success Participants will review the associations between substance use, mental health issues, interpersonal violence and problem behaviors and the perception of feeling safe at school Participants will identify prevention strategies schools can use to increase the perception of safety among students. Participants will identify talking points to build collaborations with schools to embed prevention in supporting student safety About Patti Clark, Ed.D, MBA, CPS Dr. Patti Clark is the Program Manager of the Prevention and Promotion Branch within the Kentucky Cabinet for Health and Family Services, Department of Behavioral Health, Developmental and Intellectual Disabilities.

On February 19th, Dr. Parissa Ballard, Assistant Professor in the Department of Family and Community Medicine at Wake Forest School of Medicine, presented what I thought was a fascinating webinar,  sponsored by our Region IV Prevention Technology Transfer Center.  Her topic:  The Benefits of Engaging Youth in Communities: Insights and Evidence from Developmental Science.  One of the things I noted in my brief introductory remarks to the webinar was that while youth engagement is a mainstay of current prevention efforts, the argument for it usually revolves around the value of this approach for a local coalition’s efforts to achieve a goal, such as passage of a local ordinance (e.g., a social host ordinance), or getting the word out about an important prevention practice (e.g., locking up medications in the home).  Many of us know from experience that youth can garner attention and have a significant voice in these kinds of efforts—such as when a well-organized group of youth come to a city or county council meeting to voice their support for passage of a public health ordinance.  Dr. Ballard presented this argument, but she also discussed why and how youth engagement is associated with benefits for the youth themselves.  For example, Dr. Ballard and her colleagues found in their research that volunteering as a youth is associated with healthier behaviors and mental health as youth age into young adulthood (Ballard, Hoyt, & Pachucki, 2019). For me, one of the most important takeaways from Dr. Ballard’s webinar was that when it comes to youth engagement, one size does not fit all!  The potential benefits for youth, and for coalitions, are likely to be different for very young adolescents (ages 10 to  14) than they are for middle adolescents (ages 15 to 19) and young adults (ages 20 to 24) (see Slides 20-32 of the webinar, (Suleiman, Ballard, Hoyt, & Ozer, 2019).   Click HERE to watch the webinar.   References Ballard, P., Hoyt, L., & Pachucki, M.

December was a busy time of year for everyone. That includes prevention specialists! Did you know December was 3D Prevention Month? 3D stands for “drunk and drugged driving.” With so much happening during the holidays, December was a prime opportunity to make a difference in educating people about the dangers of drugged and drunk driving. In our December newsletter, we shared promotional materials and other items to help people prepare to deal with this issue. Regardless of the month, this is a topic to be prepared to combat all year long. Check out the December newsletter for materials to help you in 2020 and beyond.
