Community Care Live (May 2014) Presentation by Richard Cross and Linda Moss
Five Rivers Child Care attended Community Care and gave a talk on Trauma and Attachment informed practice for children in residential and foster care. It was felt to be so helpful that it was repeated in the afternoon and generated many queries from practitioners.
When a child has been abused and neglected they have often suffered physical trauma directly or by witnessing it with others and we now know that this impedes their physiological development and their brain capacity - they suffer emotional and physical developmental delays and have problems with learning.
Foster carers and residential staff at Five Rivers are being trained on an ongoing basis as research informs our practice, to help work with the traumatised child. In addition a child will often have problems with poor attachment, the two making each other worse. Our work helps us identify the types of help a child needs while they are in placement and gives us 'every day' ways of working - even by the non-professional therapist.
This being part of the professional therapeutic team is what helps Five Rivers get results for the children they care for. It is part of what makes our carers commit to above and beyond what many will do.
Five Rivers challenges the local authorities to make commitments to their children's placements to allow sufficient time to work with the children and make a real difference.
Where there are good partnership relationships this has really benefited the children in their residential and fostering placements. We have excellent successes in placements lasting well despite being sorely tested.

In Nursing, there exists a culture of lateral violence and bullying, I have finally come to the realization that what we are seeing is the symptom of something much larger, something that starts, grows, and is nurtured with our own participation. We communicate in ways that have the ability to support each other, but we can also communicate in ways that are hurtful, mean, and contribute to a culture of oppression. We need to change our culture.

Centered around a theme of reenergizing and rejuvenating the work environment, this FREE web-based learning opportunity is open to the public and will be similar to a professional conference – no travel involved! Part 3 of the Virtual Learning Event Session will focus on professional development in the area of ‘Compassion Fatigue.’
Military caregivers are at high risk for the negative impact of compassion fatigue. The experience of trauma can extend beyond those who are directly impacted to those who provide care to traumatized individuals, including military service professionals. This phenomenon is referred to as compassion fatigue or secondary traumatic stress.
In this Virtual Learning Event session, attendees will gain an understanding of the concept of compassion fatigue, describe the symptoms of compassion fatigue, and discuss strategies to minimize the negative impact of compassion fatigue.

Communicating Effectively During Transitions – Managing Turbulence and Dilemm...milfamln
This webinar explores some of the challenges military families may face as they undergo transitions (e.g., deployments, reunions, relocations). On the one hand, transitions can create a sense of turbulence where family members are uncertain about their relationships and have trouble coordinating their routines. On the other hand, transitions also can create dilemmas where family members are faced with competing goals. Communicating effectively during transitions involves recognizing that turbulence and dilemmas are natural and learning how to manage them. Rather than offering simple recipes (e.g., “just talk about it”), the webinar will explore why certain ways of communicating may be more or less effective during transitions. The webinar also will identify programs and resources that may be helpful to professionals who work with military families in transition.

Health care needs of returning military and their families
Deployment, Post-traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), balancing family with long work hours are all part of an everyday military life. Mental, physical and social changes occur on a daily basis, affecting the health care needs of our military. However, events and issues like these can affect veterans and their families throughout their lives, even though they deserve the best, veterans can be neglected. From personal experience, military life is unique. A community within a community, fighting for our nation’s best interest. This paper reflects how we as nurses can be the best advocate for them.
Health Care Needs
Looking at health needs of veterans and their families, they can be physical, psychological or psychosocial. Physical includes combat injury which links closely with psychological concerns including PTSD and substance abuse: drugs and alcohol (
Spelman
, Hunt, Seal &
Burgo
-Black, 2012). Psychosocial effects the family directly, including marital, financial instability and social isolation. Together all these have a significant impact on the everyday life, and the reorientation from deployments and adjustment back into the community (
Spelman
et
al
., 2012).
Nurse Advocate for Military
Nurses are in the
frontline
of health care. Therefore, nurses are in the critical position to speak out and be the best advocate for our clients (Laureate, 2012). However, providing safe and high-quality health care is a collaboration effort, working in unity with other health care professionals and administrators (
Milstead
, 2016). The American Nurses Association (ANA) operates in unison with the Veterans Health Administration and the Department of Defense as advocates to improve veterans’ health care needs. Another valuable advocacy agency is Mental Health America; with over 200 associates in 41 States, they provide both current and former military with information to prevent the stigma related to mental health issues like PTSD and addiction, assisting in the reintegrating into family life (Mental Health America, 2016). With nurses working in unison with organizations like these, promotes success for implementing and changing public health policy.

Activity: Week 2 SWOT PowerPoint
Due Week 2 and worth 200 points
Dr. John Bradley is an Emergency Room physician. He worked a 24-hour shift due to a staff shortage. As a result, he had a patient that died because he failed to provide a duty of care, he breached his duty, and caused an injury. A prima facie case of negligence was established when Dr. Bradley failed to provide appropriate medical care. Liability was also based on ‘res ipsa loguitor’ (the thing speaks for itself). The incident is considered a Sentinel Event and must be reported to The Joint Commission (a non-profit hospital regulatory agency).
After a trend analysis of several Sentinel Events, “We Care Hospital” fired the Health Care Administrator. As a result, you were hired as the new Health Care Administrator. You have reviewed the Sentinel Event with Dr. John Bradley and discovered several factors that showed the hospital was negligent. The three basic forms for negligence are malfeasance, misfeasance, and nonfeasance. Your first task is to rationalize your answers by using any applicable legal precedents.
Then, prepare a Microsoft PowerPoint 10-slide narrative using a SWOT Analysis. A SWOT Analysis identifies strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats in a situation. Review the video: Strategic Planning and SWOT Analysis. To help you prepare the narrative PowerPoint using Microsoft 365 and older versions, review the video: Record a slide show with narration and slide timings.

Substance use Anxiety Group Curriculum
Southern New Hampshire University
Clinical Mental Health Counseling Department, COU660
Dr. Caroline P.
Rationale for the group
In Massachusetts, we have several groups for substance use both such as AA meetings and , NA meetings that are held in most area areasjust not a sufficient amount. Some. So me groups are also held at treatment centers by alumni which is a great thing because it will provide members with great responsibility skills. Some of the groups like psychoeducation and 12 steps meetings are mainly for those who are going through andchallenges and have a past with substance use. I plan to hold a group not only for those who have been through it but also withhave family members that are looking for resources and better understanding of the disease. The need for substance use group in the Boston, MassMassachusetts community is in high demand. Although Boston is a wide community where the rent can be high and have good paying jobs, many still struggle s with the everyday life stressors that can lead to excessive drinking. In my community I believe that the need for substance use group can benefit so many specifically those in the poverty area, because they are dealing with these issues every day. Also, due to therapy being frown upon in their environment and some lack the ability to seek professional help. Although some may have the need but will not attend due to therapy being frown upon in their environment. Comment by Perjessy, Caroline: Make sure you are revising for clarity. I know you said this was a draft, so keeping that In mind Comment by Perjessy, Caroline: Revise for clarity
The purpose of substance use group is to help individuals who are have dealing with anxiety and have an underlining issue like anxiety. Substance use clients with underlining issues like anxiety lack coping skills and the ability to perform everyday tasks. Evidence by, the lack of motivation, traumatic event, exposure to violence, withdrawal, and continuing alcohol or drug use. However, the misuse of alcohol not only can lead to neurological as well as anxiety. Several individuals who are actively using have an underlining issue that has cause them to use excessively rather its depression, bipolar, or anxiety. I will be focusing mainly on anxiety. Anxiety can be something that several deal with in silent or out loud, those who have been impacted by the disease either way many are not getting the help they deservemerit. Especially those who have been impacted with the disease For example, not they feeling at time they are not good enoughenough, the uncertainty of their job,; and will they have their job back; doubts about being accepted back into their familywill they have a family after. Comment by Perjessy, Caroline: This is uinclear…how are they dealing with anxiety and have an underlying issue of anxiety?

ABDOMINAL TRAUMA in pediatrics part one.drhasanrajab
Abdominal trauma in pediatrics refers to injuries or damage to the abdominal organs in children. It can occur due to various causes such as falls, motor vehicle accidents, sports-related injuries, and physical abuse. Children are more vulnerable to abdominal trauma due to their unique anatomical and physiological characteristics. Signs and symptoms include abdominal pain, tenderness, distension, vomiting, and signs of shock. Diagnosis involves physical examination, imaging studies, and laboratory tests. Management depends on the severity and may involve conservative treatment or surgical intervention. Prevention is crucial in reducing the incidence of abdominal trauma in children.

Presenter: Dr. Faiza, Assistant Professor of Physiology
Qualifications:
MBBS (Best Graduate, AIMC Lahore)
FCPS Physiology
ICMT, CHPE, DHPE (STMU)
MPH (GC University, Faisalabad)
MBA (Virtual University of Pakistan)
Learning Objectives:
Describe the primary categories of smells and the concept of odor blindness.
Explain the structure and location of the olfactory membrane and mucosa, including the types and roles of cells involved in olfaction.
Describe the pathway and mechanisms of olfactory signal transmission from the olfactory receptors to the brain.
Illustrate the biochemical cascade triggered by odorant binding to olfactory receptors, including the role of G-proteins and second messengers in generating an action potential.
Identify different types of olfactory disorders such as anosmia, hyposmia, hyperosmia, and dysosmia, including their potential causes.
Key Topics:
Olfactory Genes:
3% of the human genome accounts for olfactory genes.
400 genes for odorant receptors.
Olfactory Membrane:
Located in the superior part of the nasal cavity.
Medially: Folds downward along the superior septum.
Laterally: Folds over the superior turbinate and upper surface of the middle turbinate.
Total surface area: 5-10 square centimeters.
Olfactory Mucosa:
Olfactory Cells: Bipolar nerve cells derived from the CNS (100 million), with 4-25 olfactory cilia per cell.
Sustentacular Cells: Produce mucus and maintain ionic and molecular environment.
Basal Cells: Replace worn-out olfactory cells with an average lifespan of 1-2 months.
Bowman’s Gland: Secretes mucus.
Stimulation of Olfactory Cells:
Odorant dissolves in mucus and attaches to receptors on olfactory cilia.
Involves a cascade effect through G-proteins and second messengers, leading to depolarization and action potential generation in the olfactory nerve.
Quality of a Good Odorant:
Small (3-20 Carbon atoms), volatile, water-soluble, and lipid-soluble.
Facilitated by odorant-binding proteins in mucus.
Membrane Potential and Action Potential:
Resting membrane potential: -55mV.
Action potential frequency in the olfactory nerve increases with odorant strength.
Adaptation Towards the Sense of Smell:
Rapid adaptation within the first second, with further slow adaptation.
Psychological adaptation greater than receptor adaptation, involving feedback inhibition from the central nervous system.
Primary Sensations of Smell:
Camphoraceous, Musky, Floral, Pepperminty, Ethereal, Pungent, Putrid.
Odor Detection Threshold:
Examples: Hydrogen sulfide (0.0005 ppm), Methyl-mercaptan (0.002 ppm).
Some toxic substances are odorless at lethal concentrations.
Characteristics of Smell:
Odor blindness for single substances due to lack of appropriate receptor protein.
Behavioral and emotional influences of smell.
Transmission of Olfactory Signals:
From olfactory cells to glomeruli in the olfactory bulb, involving lateral inhibition.
Primitive, less old, and new olfactory systems with different path

Recognize different abnormalities of taste perception and their causes.
Key Topics:
Significance of Taste Sensation:
Differentiation between pleasant and harmful food
Influence on behavior
Selection of food based on metabolic needs
Receptors of Taste:
Taste buds on the tongue
Influence of sense of smell, texture of food, and pain stimulation (e.g., by pepper)
Primary and Secondary Taste Sensations:
Primary taste sensations: Sweet, Sour, Salty, Bitter, Umami
Chemical basis and signal transduction mechanisms for each taste
Taste Threshold and Index:
Taste threshold values for Sweet (sucrose), Salty (NaCl), Sour (HCl), and Bitter (Quinine)
Taste index relationship: Inversely proportional to taste threshold
Taste Blindness:
Inability to taste certain substances, particularly thiourea compounds
Example: Phenylthiocarbamide
Structure and Function of Taste Buds:
Composition: Epithelial cells, Sustentacular/Supporting cells, Taste cells, Basal cells
Features: Taste pores, Taste hairs/microvilli, and Taste nerve fibers
Location of Taste Buds:
Found in papillae of the tongue (Fungiform, Circumvallate, Foliate)
Also present on the palate, tonsillar pillars, epiglottis, and proximal esophagus
Mechanism of Taste Stimulation:
Interaction of taste substances with receptors on microvilli
Signal transduction pathways for Umami, Sweet, Bitter, Sour, and Salty tastes

Influence of receptors and neural pathways
Impact of Sensory Nerve Damage:
Degeneration of taste buds if the sensory nerve fiber is cut
Abnormalities of Taste Detection:
Conditions: Ageusia, Hypogeusia, Dysgeusia (parageusia)
Causes: Nerve damage, neurological disorders, infections, poor oral hygiene, adverse drug effects, deficiencies, aging, tobacco use, altered neurotransmitter levels
Neurotransmitters and Taste Threshold:

10. • Self-care is an important strategy - may
support counselor well-being (Venart, Vassos, & Pritcher-
Heft, 2007; Skovholt, 2001)
• Practicing self-care by using positive coping
strategies (e.g. using humor, exercising,
meditating, gardening, and listening to
music) (Wallace, Lee, & Lee, 2010)
11. • As discussed in Part 1 of this webinar,
burnout is characterized by emotional
exhaustion, depersonalization/cynicism, and
lack of feelings of personal accomplishment
(Maslach, Schaufeli & Leiter, 2001)
• "the process of physical and emotional
depletion resulting from conditions at work
or, more concisely, prolonged job stress"
(Osborn, 2004, P.319)
• Feeling ‘bogged down’ by the system
12. • Lack of needed resources (Maslach, 2003)
• Large client caseloads also associated with burnout
(Lawson, 2007)
• Providing counseling to clients with severe
diagnoses and presenting problems (Young & Lambie, 2007)
• Counselor use of maladaptive coping strategies
(Thompson, Amatea, & Thompson, 2014)
13. • Social support – seeking emotional and
instrumental support (e.g. talking with friends
and family, consulting with co-workers and
supervisors) (Wallace et al., 2010).
• Experiencing support from coworkers (Ducharme ,
Knudsen, & Roman, 2008)
• Being engaged in your work role - engagement
has conceptualized as the opposite of burnout
(Maslach et al., 2001).
14. • Sample of 506 professional counselors, all
members of ACA
• Positive correlation between total wellness
and compassion satisfaction scores
• Negative correlations between total wellness
to both burnout and compassion fatigue
scores (Lawson & Myers, 2011)
15. • Mental health counselors are a risk for burnout
and compassion fatigue, which may lead to
professional impairment
• Empathy is a double-edged sword – we need to
demonstrate our empathy to our clients in order
to be effective...
• Differences in the quality of interpersonal
interactions between therapists experiencing
burnout and those not experiencing burnout
(Renjilian et al., 1998)
16. • As discussed in part 1 of this webinar, compassion fatigue is
understood as emotional fatigue that emerges after mental
health professionals are exposed to traumatized clients (Figley,
1998)
• It is associated with providing clinical services to trauma
victims (Devilly, Wright, & Varker, 2009)
• Mental health professionals who work with military families
are likely to work with people who have experienced trauma
• Being alter to possibility of experiencing compassion fatigue
is important for mental health professionals in general, and
even more so for those working with military families
17. • Are you currently working with clients experiencing
trauma?
• Do you notice yourself feeling drained or
emotionally exhausted?
• Is your social support system at work meeting your
needs? How about your personal social support
network?
• Are you implementing wellness strategies in your
daily life?
18. • Increase your positive social contacts, both at work
and your private life
• Make supervision and consultation a regular part of
your schedule
• Select an aspect of your wellness plan to focus on and
follow through!
• Apply a preventative approach in your own life – using
wellness strategies to manage stress before it takes
over
19. • Serving as a role model of wellness for our clients
• Increased energy and emotional resilience to assist our
clients
• May lead to increased joy in our own lives
• Building our emotional reserve to handle crisis when they
come up – and, as you know, they will!
• Increased congruence – mental health professionals
frequently encourage the individuals and families we work
with to implement wellness strategies.
• A reduced risk of burnout (Lawson & Myers, 2011)
20. • “Houppert (2005b) reported that there has been a
300% increase in overseas deployments in the past
decade in a military force that has been cut by
more than one third” (Hall, 2008, p. 4).
• “The National Military Family’s Association (NMFA)
Report on the Cycles of Deployment (Juniper et al.,
2006) confirms there is a profound need for more
professional counselors” (Hall, 2008, p. 4).
21. • Military and/or military families seeking out independent
services for various reasons
• Reduce stigma associated with seeking help
• Expand training for working with active military, veterans, and
military families
22. What is our own experience with the military?
• Where are your knowledge gaps about the military?
• What stereotypes do you have about the military?
• How do your personal political views impact your understanding
of the military?
• What do you think about the concepts of self-sacrificing,
supporting a mission, or doing something for the greater good?
• How do handle being with enormous levels of trauma and
potential guilt associated with some experiences of veterans?
(Hall, 2008)
25. “Wellness is an active
process through
which people
become aware of,
and make choices
toward, a more
successful existence.”
(National Wellness Institute, 2015)
26. • Amber and Jack are in their 20’s and both actively
serving in the Marine Corps.
• They have a 3 year old daughter and a 2 year old
son.
• Amber is being deployed in 3 months (for
approximately 1 year).
27. Amber’s pre-deployment— the family is under a lot
of stress related to the Amber’s deployment.
Alcohol abuse— both partners frequently engage in
alcohol abuse and have to face the implications
regularly (e.g., infidelity, financial strain, etc.)
Family strengths—the couple loves their children
deeply, and she is their first priority. Couple states
they are best friends and are committed to making
the marriage work.
28. Struggles
• Time variability in knowing about deployment (weeks to
a year)
• Increased training requirements
• Deployed partner increasingly committed to deployment
• Home affairs to get in order
• Emotions-grief, anger, denial, frustration, fear,
excitement
(Hall, 2008)
29. Mindfulness
• Gaining awareness of emotion (e.g., anger, frustration, fear)
• Engaging in Mindful Listening
• Both partners learn to be with emotion (their own and their
partner’s) rather than judging and/or avoiding it through
destructive patterns and behaviors.
• Attending to deployment preparation and bonding
• Amber cultivates the ability to be present with family and military
training experiences and bonding.
Wellness
• Prioritizing home affairs
• Amber and Jack collaboratively decide which home affairs are
most important (e.g., child care) and attend to only those.
30. Struggles
• Possible increased frequency of alcohol abuse
among military as compared to civilians (possibly
due to culture, alcohol availability, alcohol use as a
coping mechanism, etc.)
• Implications from alcohol abuse (e.g. physical
health, mental health, financial strain, legal issues,
infidelity, etc.)
31. • First conduct an alcohol dependency assessment
and refer for addition recovery treatment as
necessary.
Mindfulness
• Becoming aware of drinking triggers through Mindful
Observation
• Consciously choosing a way to address the real underlying
issues leading to binge drinking
Wellness
• Exploring ways to indirectly promote health as a means to
buffer the binge drinking
32. • Resiliency—ability to endure and function in
spite of severe psychological trauma, physical
trauma, lengthy deployments, and family
separation
• Commitment and discipline related to their
service
33. Mindfulness
• Mindful appreciation—identifying resiliency factors and
reflecting on strengths (e.g., parenting, commitment to
service, overcoming trauma and separation in the past)
• Building on current mindfulness strategies—using
mindfulness strategies already in place and applying them to
situations that were more conflictual in nature.
Wellness
• What wellness factors are going well?
• How can we build on those?
34. • Total Honesty: Couple commits to complete
honesty about everything, even seemingly minor
details about the day.
• Communication and Trust: Create a plan on how
the couple will stay in touch while Amber is away
and ways to be present during those times.
• Couple/family bond: Schedule intimate and family
quality time together before deployment. Practice
being present and attending to more conflictual
matters at another scheduled time.
35. • Irest
• Mindful Nation
• Mindfulness-based Mind Fitness Training
• Project Welcome Home Troops
