Systems change and collaboration Presentation VS AGMVolunteerScotland
This document discusses factors that influence volunteering rates and the volunteering system. It identifies several types of capital - structural, material/economic, political, cultural, social, and human - that affect volunteering. Areas with poorer educational and economic outcomes tend to have lower social capital and fewer community organizations. An aging population and rural environments can also impact volunteering. Systems change requires understanding the current state, envisioning an improved future state, and collaborating with stakeholders to test ideas. The author discusses applying systems thinking and methods from Human Learning Systems to better understand and positively change the volunteering system.
Over the last 6 months, Volunteer Scotland has been working with organizations to create a space for sharing ideas and learning within a human learning systems setting. They have discussed key topics around human learning systems such as variety, empathy, strengths-based perspectives, and trust. Volunteer Scotland wants to embrace a systems approach to volunteering rather than a traditional project-based approach, focusing on impact, understanding systems, capacity building, and continuous learning. They described the volunteer system in Scotland as complex with many interconnecting factors. Volunteer Scotland is providing an opportunity to become a systems steward to help create healthy systems by supporting ongoing learning, building relationships, and enabling co-design processes.
This presentation describes the process of a planit-young people workshop. Planit-Young People is based around the Every Child Matters agenda and deals with the complex issues surrounding young people. 8 teams need to work together to deal with problems such as teenage pregnancy, anti-social behaviour, worklessness, and drugs. The teams need to deal with root causes and create positive alternatives. Planit-YP is suitable for training professionals and for use in education and engagement.
The document discusses complexity and its implications for funding and managing associational life through volunteering. It argues that complexity means outcomes are emergent properties of systems rather than delivered by organizations. This requires funding and management focused on creating conditions for learning and adaptation, not predetermined results. Learning must be continuous as what works is always changing. Funders should support learning capacity, not just results. Managers should focus on nurturing healthy systems and acting as system stewards to create positive outcomes.
Ketchum's 2011 social responsibility report details the company's efforts in supporting literacy and education globally through its partnership with Room to Read. It provides examples of communications support and fundraising activities undertaken by Ketchum offices around the world to support Room to Read, including media placements, translations, and fundraising events that raised over $100,000. The report also discusses Ketchum employees volunteering their communications expertise for other non-profits and undertaking charitable activities locally in their communities.
The document discusses involving children and young people in decision making. It outlines a framework and strategic approach that includes developing a practitioner's network and events for children and young people. When involving children and young people, the document emphasizes treating them with respect, providing support and access to opportunities, giving feedback, and working together. It also discusses standards, capturing impact, and the challenges of cultural shifts and resource constraints.
The Early Action Task Force aims to move spending from reactive ("acute") services to preventative early interventions. This involves overcoming barriers like short-term planning, silos between organizations, and lack of evidence about effective programs. The goal is systemic change through early public sector involvement, shared outcomes, data analysis, leadership, and cross-sector collaboration. Examples provided are Southwark Early Action Commission and Public Social Partnerships.
The document summarizes the development of Scotland's national volunteering framework called "Volunteering for All". It discusses:
1) The framework was developed jointly by the Scottish Government and partners from the voluntary sector to provide a vision and outcomes for volunteering over 10 years.
2) An action plan is being developed to implement specific actions within 1 year to achieve the framework's outcomes, using a Human Learning Systems approach which focuses on collaboration and continuous learning.
3) Over 130 stakeholders are involved in co-producing the action plan through various working groups and a governance group, to map initiatives and identify leverage points to inform priority actions.

This document provides an overview and introduction to the "From Age-ing to Sage-ing" project, which engaged senior citizens in Northeast Edmonton to support children living in poverty through intergenerational relationships and activities. The project was hosted by the Seniors Association of Greater Edmonton and used a community development approach to identify ways for seniors to contribute their skills, experience, and caring to help build resilience in children and the community. Through conversations with seniors, the project explored activities like gardening, reading with children, teaching skills, and providing emotional support. The project demonstrated the value of tapping into seniors as a community resource and using collective action to address social issues.

300 words
Building healthier cities and communities involves local people working together to transform the conditions and outcomes that matter to them. That civic work demands an array of core competencies, such as community assessment, planning, community mobilization, intervention, advocacy, evaluation, and marketing successful efforts. Supporting this local and global work requires widespread and easy access to these community-building skills. However, these skills are not always learned, nor are they commonly taught either in formal or informal education. The internet can provide an effective means for transmitting skill-building resources broadly and inexpensively. This section describes a free resource for building healthier communities called the
Community Tool Box
.
WHAT IS THE COMMUNITY TOOL BOX?
BACKGROUND.
In the early days of the World Wide Web (1995), we began work on an Internet-based resource for community change and improvement, the "Community Tool Box" (CTB). Our mission is to promote community health and development by connecting people, ideas, and resources.
We focused on developing practical information for community building that both professionals and ordinary citizens could use in everyday practice -- for example, leadership skills, program evaluation, and writing a grant application. The emphasis was on these core competencies of community building, transcending more categorical issues and concerns, such as promoting child health, reducing violence, or creating job opportunities.
We developed a broad and evolving Table of Contents and started writing, one section at a time. By mid-1999, there were over 160 how-to sections and over 3,500 pages of text available on the Community Tool Box. As of July 2000, there were over 200 sections online and more than 5,000 pages of text.
AUDIENCE.
The audiences or end users for this site include:
People doing the work of community change and improvement (community leaders and members)
People supporting it (intermediary organizations such as public agencies or university-based centers)
People funding it (governmental institutions, foundations, and others).
Use of the Community Tool Box grew nearly exponentially: over 100,000 hits in 1997, over 500,000 in 1998, and well over one million in 1999. Guestbook data confirm that users represent a wide variety of community-building settings and positions and come from all corners of the planet.
ATTRIBUTES.
Building healthier communities is hard work, requiring frequent adjustments to emerging opportunities and barriers. To be a resource for community work, a "tool box" would exemplify the following attributes:
Its content needs to be
comprehensive
. Since effective community members and practitioners need a variety of skills, sections of the Tool Box would have to reflect a broad array of core competencies (e.g., skills in conducting listening sessions, organizing focus groups, leading meetings, group facilitation and recording).

The document discusses using eHealth technologies to create youth leadership networks for health engagement and promotion. It outlines several programs and approaches for engaging youth, including using social media, arts, and integrating projects into education. Youth engagement can address social exclusion, promote empowerment, and link youth to opportunities and services. The document also describes a Youth4Health program that trains youth to support communities' health and connects adults to resources, applying skills to support families.
Project RISE is a 4-year demonstration project between Arizona State University and the Arizona Department of Juvenile Corrections that focuses on developing a model for successful reentry of youth with disabilities back into their communities. It provides comprehensive transition services and continued support to youth ages 8-18 with IEPs returning to Maricopa County from secure care. Through extensive community collaboration, individualized case management, and personalized transition plans, Project RISE aims to decrease recidivism and increase graduation, employment, and post-secondary education rates among participating youth.
Social Entrepreneurship & Measuring Social Impact: 101Dr. Catherine Lada
Social entrepreneurship aims to solve complex social problems through sustainable business models. It differs from traditional non-profits and businesses in pursuing a double bottom line of social impact and financial sustainability. Social entrepreneurs must understand the embedded context and ecosystem in which problems exist to develop effective solutions. "Wicked problems" are especially difficult to solve because they are situated within complex social systems. Truly addressing wicked problems requires considering all relevant actors and implementing coordinated multi-level solutions. Scaling solutions also requires understanding how approaches must be adapted to different environments and contexts. While measuring social impact is challenging, frameworks provide guidance on assessing evidence of impact at preliminary, moderate, and strong levels.

Stu Fenton will address the many specificities of the LGBT communities and individualities through a multifaceted approach linking identity quest, painful stigmas of Chemsex and addiction, and most importantly the courage and mindfulness of a community facing its challenges with hope and determination. We have so much to learn here.
Could it well be that a Minority is actually leading the Majority by example of self-discovery and self-introspection? As Stu Fenton & al. proposed in Berlin in 2018: “Surely gay culture is not just something depressing? It’s also about self-discovery, adventure, relating to a group of peers, have meaningful relations, reaching out to others in order to lift each other up and having all sorts of primal instincts satisfied.”

How does the alcoholic or addicted individual effect the family and community? In what way do they equally become sick? What does intervention, treatment and aftercare look like for the family and how does this effect the individual with addiction?
This masterclass will examine the origins of addiction throughout a family’s history and find new ways to transform those old stories of shame and blame to survival and resilience. Participants will be provided a number of key points aimed at enhancing professional knowledge and performance. We will examine alternative ways to think beyond individual treatment, which include the entire family not only though current Family Therapy models, but by examining the stories and pain of past generations. This cutting-edge thinking regarding family work can transform the lives of generations yet to come who may escape the prison of addiction due to our ability to stand with our clients in their multigenerational story of trauma and adaptation. In conclusion, participants will examine how family therapy techniques including examining generations of Transgenerational Grief provide an opportunity for feelings that have been previously denied and lost in the family story can be named, explored, reframed and viewed as strength and hope.

How does the alcoholic or addicted individual effect the family and community? In what way do they equally become sick? What does intervention, treatment and aftercare look like for the family and how does this effect the individual with addiction?
This masterclass will examine the origins of addiction throughout a family’s history and find new ways to transform those old stories of shame and blame to survival and resilience. Participants will be provided a number of key points aimed at enhancing professional knowledge and performance. We will examine alternative ways to think beyond individual treatment, which include the entire family not only though current Family Therapy models, but by examining the stories and pain of past generations. This cutting-edge thinking regarding family work can transform the lives of generations yet to come who may escape the prison of addiction due to our ability to stand with our clients in their multigenerational story of trauma and adaptation. In conclusion, participants will examine how family therapy techniques including examining generations of Transgenerational Grief provide an opportunity for feelings that have been previously denied and lost in the family story can be named, explored, reframed and viewed as strength and hope.

In recent years there has been tremendous controversy about sexually compulsive behaviour. Researchers and clinicians alike have argued about the best terminology to use, diagnostic criteria, and treatment approaches. In this presentation, Dr. Carnes discusses the concerns about labelling out control sexual behaviour and examines the new research and the controversy surrounding the diagnosis. Different perspectives on conceptualisation of the disorder and treatment will be discussed.

The document discusses chronic pain and addiction. It notes that while all pain is real, emotions drive the experience of chronic pain. Opioids are often ineffective in treating chronic pain and can actually make pain worse. The goals of pain management should be to maintain or improve function rather than just reducing pain. Non-medication treatments like exercise, massage, and mindfulness can be effective alternatives or supplements to medication for chronic pain.

This document discusses the intergenerational transmission of trauma and addiction within families. It presents several case studies that illustrate how unresolved trauma can contribute to mental health, addiction, and relationship issues across generations. The key points are:
1) Unaddressed trauma, abuse, loss and family dysfunction can negatively impact children's development and mental health, potentially leading to addictive behaviors, revictimization, depression and anxiety.
2) Trauma responses like hyperarousal and hypoarousal can become chronic over time and manifest as trauma symptoms if not resolved.
3) Addictions often develop as a means of self-medicating for underlying trauma-related pain and dysregulation. The interaction

The document discusses bio-hacking the nervous system through non-invasive techniques.

Diagnostic approaches applied in psychiatry are often criticized and deemed unsatisfactory because of their relative lack of reliability and validity. One reason for this complexity lies in the purely symptomatic approach to diagnosis. This approach also results in misdiagnosis, difficulties and high risk of aberrant therapeutic choices. The problem is also the source of great difficulty in differentiating the normal from the pathological in situations of emotional and psychological distress that should not be the subject of a psychiatric diagnosis.

Yin and yang are opposing but interconnected forces that balance each other. Yin represents femininity, darkness, and passivity while yang symbolizes masculinity, light, and activity. EnerQi is the life force that circulates within us and carries an energetic vibration called qi. Maintaining balanced enerqi through diet, exercise, sleep, sexuality, and meditation can raise one's energetic frequency and improve health and well-being. Traditional Chinese medicine views the body's health in terms of balancing yin, yang, and qi through addressing root imbalances rather than surface-level symptoms.

Childhood sexual abuse (CSA) has seemed at the forefront of many news items recently and increasingly out there in the public domain. The statistics quoted in the UK are 1 in 4 women and 1 in 6 men are survivors, higher in other countries such as the USA. Indeed, most of our addiction clients tend to present with underlying trauma, many as a result of CSA. So as clinicians and treatment providers how do we deal with this epidemic in terms of numbers and the resultant increased disclosures and presentations?
iCAAD London 2019 - Chip Somers - REHAB – DEAD OR ALIVE?iCAADEvents
This document summarizes and compares the strengths and weaknesses of harm reduction and abstinence-based approaches to addiction treatment. Harm reduction strengths include being geographically broad, preventing clients from feeling alone, providing health checks and paraphernalia, and having a non-judgmental approach. However, it is noted that harm reduction has weaknesses such as low success rates, clients still dying, and substitute addictions developing. Abstinence-based treatment is seen as providing a safe place without pressure, addressing underlying issues, and having a community for support. But it also has weaknesses like only advocating one approach, potential abusive practices, and a judgmental view of relapse. In the end, the document calls for services to

LINC Community Resilience uses a 3-stage
process to empower the community and to

1. The community comes together to share their
history, traditions, and current situation
(typically traumatic event, increase in problems,
or mass disaster, etc.)
2. The community selects Community Links who
lead them to establish clear goals and turn
these into small workable tasks with committed
work groups
3. The community takes over the process when
the outside professionals withdraw

Editor's Notes
One of the most helpful ways to get started on this process is with maps. The Maps and interventions we use are the concrete application of the intervention, but people themselves have the inherent resilience to bring about their own healing. Once they are able to access their resources and re-connect to their transitional pathways, the type or class of intervention itself is less important.
Community Maps: We use many maps of the community, e.g., time line, history, geography, themes, stories and transitions.
JLL Outline of model that applied in both Kosova and in New York Kosovar community Our philosophy is to tread lightly and leave no footprints so that credit goes to the people who do the work
Communication across the community is ensured once the Community Links have forged a healing matrix and the entire community (both professional
ancillary support system and natural support system) is engaged in the endeavor. The families and community then take charge of their own future.
