Autism and Life Transitions: Hard Lessons Learned & Taught as a Person-Center...Cheryl Ryan Chan
In December of 2015, I presented this webinar to members of the National Association for Dual Diagnoses (thenadd.org). I've been conducting Person-Centered Plans for 4 years, and over that time I've seen a number of disturbing trends around the lack of understanding and planning for preparedness in transitioning students; in particular, in the areas of independent skill building specific to the anticipated environment, and personal safety skills. I feel it's important to talk about what I've observed and how my team of co-facilitators and I have identified and tackled these issues within the PCP process. I hope that the "lessons learned" will assist people in planning for IEP/ISP goals that can help maximize success. I offer it free to anyone who would like to attend.
Bianca Harvey is seeking admission to Capella University's Addiction Studies program to become a substance abuse counselor. She has witnessed family members struggle with addiction and not receive adequate help. Her father battled alcoholism and drug abuse for many years before succumbing to his addiction in 2010, motivating Bianca to work in this field. She has relevant experience from internships and volunteer work providing services to victims of domestic violence and low-income individuals. Bianca recognizes the importance of cultural competency as an addiction counselor and plans to further develop these skills through additional training and immersing herself in diverse communities.
This document discusses the author's experience growing up in foster care and his journey to success. It contains three main sections:
1) As a youth in foster care, the author's main goal was to fit in and have a normal adolescence, which was difficult to attain due to placement instability. Changing homes and schools created obstacles.
2) Today, the author is a senior leader at the organization that raised him. However, he is upset that so few foster youth achieve independence, with many becoming homeless, incarcerated, or continuing the cycle of welfare.
3) Educational attainment is strongly linked to independence, but foster youth dramatically underperform nationally. The author discusses factors in his experience, like a

The Canadian Cancer Survivor Network is pleased to have Registered Clinical Counsellor Genevieve Stonebridge from InspireHealth Supportive Cancer Care present this webinar. InspireHealth is a Canadian leader in supportive cancer care with medical doctors, clinical counsellors, dietitians, exercise therapists all working together to support you and your family in your cancer experience.
About the presenter:
Genevieve Stonebridge has been working in cancer care since 2010, and with InspireHealth as a clinical counsellor since 2015. She is passionate about supporting
people living with, through or beyond a cancer diagnosis. With compassion, creativity and openness she believes in meeting patients where they are at. From her personal and professional experience, Genevieve knows how important communication skills are while navigating the health care system and in interpersonal relationships too.

This document is Amanda Jennings' capstone reflection from her internship at the Pan American Health Organization (PAHO) Foundation through The Washington Center program.
The reflection summarizes Amanda's experience and growth over her 15-week internship. She strengthened her understanding of nonprofits and improved her writing skills through revisions. While she still aims to improve at social media, she gained experience live tweeting an event. Her academic class taught her about campaigning and donor research, which she applied to her internship. Overall, Amanda learned valuable skills in public relations, nonprofit operations, and leadership from hands-on work and her supervisor's mentorship. She transformed from being shy and unsure to confidently voicing opinions and
The document provides details about Hope Crosson's internship at the Matthews House, where she gained experience in various social work roles like advocating, counseling, and researching. Hope reflects on learning the importance of supervision, developing self-care strategies, and continuing her education to advance her social work career. The internship prepared Hope for independent social work practice while seeking ongoing advice and guidance.

Nathaniel James Shaw discusses his experience with mental health and addiction recovery programs. He believes many programs focus too much on paperwork and lack meaningful support services to help clients make real changes in their lives. Shaw recounts his own positive experience with a work-training program in Seattle that helped him get sober and stable housing and employment. He argues programs should do more to address clients' needs and deficits, provide structure and accountability, and motivate clients to make lasting changes through groups, counseling, and advancing to new levels of responsibility. Stagnation in programs allows clients to avoid real change and progress for years. Shaw advocates for a more intensive, peer-based approach to help clients take recovery seriously and make the important decision to change.
Diane Garcia-Becker discusses research skills she has developed as an undergraduate psychology student. She analyzes observational research methods and sampling techniques. Specifically, she proposes using a probability sample of women veterans to study the relationship between trauma history, substance abuse, and comorbid disorders. A probability sample would allow the results to be generalized to the larger population of women veterans by giving each one an equal chance of being selected. She recognizes the need for a strong sampling frame to identify the target population. The summary focuses on the key research concepts and methods discussed in the document.
This document is a statement of purpose for a PhD in Psychology. It summarizes how the applicant became interested in human behavior and psychology through debates with friends about sensitive topics. Their undergraduate studies provided a better understanding of how genes, experiences, and environment shape behavior. The applicant no longer remains silent on these topics but rather tries to educate others. In the future, they plan to open their own counseling office to help victims of bullying and discrimination receive a good life. They believe XX University's program offers suitable strategies for their PhD studies and they are honored to prove their worth as a professional psychologist.
Original Michael is pursuing a bachelor's degree in psychology with a substance abuse minor at Ulster Community College.

Needs assessments are a form of research conducted to gather information about the needs of a population or a group in a community (Tutty & Rothery, 2010, p. 149). One purpose of a needs assessment is to explore in more depth whether a new program within an organization or agency is needed (Dudley, 2014, p. 117). Key questions of this type of needs assessment may revolve around: (1) whether there are enough prospective clients to warrant this type of program, (2) the different activities or programs that the respondents would be interested in using, priorities for some activities over others, (3) importance of the activities, and (4) times in which this program would be desired and used (Dudley, 2014, p. 117). Potential barriers for the implementation of a new program should also be assessed to ensure the best possible outcome. Some barriers to services could include factors such as: location, costs, potential need for fees, and possible psychological issues related to such things. The following is an assessment of an intensive outpatient program for youth, and a potential need that is currently being unmet.
Post a needs assessment plan for a potential program of your choice that meets a currently unmet need. Describe the unmet need and how current information supports your position that a needs assessment is warranted.

Jails and Prisons
Looking inside total institutions
Definition of total institution
Canadian Erving Goffman coined this term
He wrote, “A total institution may be defined as a place of residence and work where a large number of like-situated individuals cut off from the wider society for an appreciable period of time together lead an enclosed formally administered round of life (Goffman, 1968: 11).
"Total institutions (such as prisons, boarding schools, psychiatric hospitals, concentration camps, etc. ) are distinctive and have much in common" (Goffman, 1968: 15) because, as Goffman points out, they depart from the basic social arrangements in modern western society "that the individual tends to sleep, play and work in different places with different co-participants, under different authorities and without an overall rational plan" (Goffman, 1968: 17).
Glimpses inside the total institution
It is very difficult to appreciate what life is like in jail or prison so I have selected a few videos, and stories for you
Please listen to Ismael Nazario who speaks about his experience in Rikers as a youth https://www.ted.com/talks/ismael_nazario_what_i_learned_as_a_kid_in_jail?language=en#t-671125
Also, please read a piece published by the Marshall project here https://www.themarshallproject.org/2018/07/12/a-day-in-the-life-of-a-prisoner
Finally, hear the story of Mr. Melendez who spent 17 years on death row for a crime he did not commit. Now exonerated, he has visited UTA and spoken about this experience. He paints a vivid picture of those 17 years here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9k6C7ZVhaHE
Why is working in prisons important for social workers?
Criminal justice system is marked by the confluence of race, class, gender, and inequality in the United States
Mass incarceration has been called one the most pressing social problems of our time (Mauer & Chesney-Lind, 2002)
The CJ system is fragmented
Over 50,000 different agencies responsible
Prisons account for the fastest growing segment of government employment (nearly 750,000 people in 2004)
Most people are imprisoned for non-violent crimes
Remember that Race, Class, Gender Matter
African American men disproportionately imprisoned
Women account for the fastest growing prison population
African American women: 571% increase in 20 years
Latinas: 131% increase in 20 years
Caucasian women: 75% increase in 20 years
More women are incarcerated per capita for drug crimes than men (about 34% of women and 19% of men)
60% of men and 40% of women unemployed at arrest, 1/3 earned less than 5000$ last year.

Needs assessments are a form of research conducted to gather information about the needs of a population or a group in a community (Tutty & Rothery, 2010, p. 149). One purpose of a needs assessment is to explore in more depth whether a new program within an organization or agency is needed (Dudley, 2014, p. 117). Key questions of this type of needs assessment may revolve around: (1) whether there are enough prospective clients to warrant this type of program, (2) the different activities or programs that the respondents would be interested in using, priorities for some activities over others, (3) importance of the activities, and (4) times in which this program would be desired and used (Dudley, 2014, p. 117). Potential barriers for the implementation of a new program should also be assessed to ensure the best possible outcome. Some barriers to services could include factors such as: location, costs, potential need for fees, and possible psychological issues related to such things. The following is an assessment of an intensive outpatient program for youth, and a potential need that is currently being unmet.
Post a needs assessment plan for a potential program of your choice that meets a currently unmet need. Describe the unmet need and how current information supports your position that a needs assessment is warranted.

Jails and Prisons
Looking inside total institutions
Definition of total institution
Canadian Erving Goffman coined this term
He wrote, “A total institution may be defined as a place of residence and work where a large number of like-situated individuals cut off from the wider society for an appreciable period of time together lead an enclosed formally administered round of life (Goffman, 1968: 11).
"Total institutions (such as prisons, boarding schools, psychiatric hospitals, concentration camps, etc. ) are distinctive and have much in common" (Goffman, 1968: 15) because, as Goffman points out, they depart from the basic social arrangements in modern western society "that the individual tends to sleep, play and work in different places with different co-participants, under different authorities and without an overall rational plan" (Goffman, 1968: 17).

Why is working in prisons important for social workers?
Criminal justice system is marked by the confluence of race, class, gender, and inequality in the United States
Mass incarceration has been called one the most pressing social problems of our time (Mauer & Chesney-Lind, 2002)
The CJ system is fragmented
Over 50,000 different agencies responsible
Prisons account for the fastest growing segment of government employment (nearly 750,000 people in 2004)
Most people are imprisoned for non-violent crimes
Remember that Race, Class, Gender Matter
African American men disproportionately imprisoned
Women account for the fastest growing prison population
African American women: 571% increase in 20 years
Latinas: 131% increase in 20 years
Caucasian women: 75% increase in 20 years
More women are incarcerated per capita for drug crimes than men (about 34% of women and 19% of men)
60% of men and 40% of women unemployed at arrest, 1/3 earned less than 5000$ last year.

Commitment of Professionalism 2
A great passion of mine is to advocate for child abuse and neglect. Research shows that
child abuse and neglect is a critical issue because it happens daily. The focus of my advocacy
efforts is child abuse and neglect as I am passionate about the well-being and safety of all
children. I would like to address the issue of abuse and neglect of children by their caregivers or
any adult figure. Although some parents may have the means to provide adequate resources, they
oftentimes fail to satisfy areas of needs with children that include but are not limited to
compassion, respect, access to learning resources, proper food and clothing, protection and
safety, good moral character development, love and much more.
An example of a policymaker I would consult would be the Department of Children and
Families (DCF). The Department of Children and Families would be first on my list to contact as
they are easily accessible and ready for contact as they deal with child abuse, exploitation, and
neglect directly. Furthermore, the Department of Children and Families are always open to
providing information that will be useful on the topic and assistance with furthering knowledge
on the processes and issues with child abuse and neglect. The strategies that will be used to gain
support from the Department of Children and Families would include formally arranging a
meetin.

This presentation was featured in a webinar that explored evidence-based approaches to engage youth and young adults from foster care in the prevention of unintended or untimely pregnancies. The webinar also highlighted effective supports for young people in care as parents as they tend to their own developmental needs.
The document discusses youth with involvement in multiple county systems such as child welfare, juvenile justice, and mental health systems, also known as crossover or dually-involved youth. It notes that disproportionate numbers of these youth are female, African American, or LGBTQIA+, and the majority struggle with mental health or substance use issues. The document provides an overview of challenges in supporting these youth and considers best practices such as using a comprehensive model like the Crossover Youth Practice Model, prioritizing prevention, engaging organizations like Youth Advocate Programs, asking families what supports they need, and providing stability during transitions.
This document summarizes ¡Una Vida Sana!, a multi-disciplinary service learning program that provides health screenings to Richmond, Virginia's Hispanic community. It describes the program's goals of assessing community health risks, providing a valuable learning experience for students, and increasing access to healthcare. Over 350 individuals were screened across several events staffed by over 50 healthcare students. Preliminary results found participants at risk of future health issues, and students reported gaining knowledge around cultural competence and community health challenges through their involvement.
The document discusses how early childhood education programs can help prevent child abuse and neglect by promoting protective factors in families. It outlines several protective factors shown to prevent abuse, including parental resilience, social connections, knowledge of parenting/child development, and children's social-emotional competence. It also describes strategies programs use to strengthen these factors, such as parent education, social support, responding to crises, and observing for early signs of abuse or neglect. Overall, the document argues that early childhood programs are well-positioned to detect and address family issues to prevent child maltreatment.
This document discusses the roles and responsibilities of a school social worker. It begins by defining school social work as focusing on helping students succeed academically while also addressing issues they face at home. A key role of school social workers is to help students handle problems and provide resources to support their academic and social success. The document also notes important trends in the field, such as the expected growth in jobs for social workers through 2016.
Mentorship Experiences of LGBT Undergraduates Pursuing Health Careers Jeffrey Wong
As the Principal Investigator of this independent research project, I wanted to explore the intersections of mentorship and LGBT undergraduates at UCLA seeking a career in health care.
Presentation at the National Prevention Network Conference on September 14, 2017
The percentage of individuals in the United States and NH with past year illicit drug dependence or abuse was highest among young adults between the ages of 18-25. A rapid assessment process was used to do a deeper dive to understand the substance use behaviors of young adults. And to ensure prevention strategies are culturally sensitive and relevant to the target populations, to help inform prevention efforts for early childhood and youth, and to establish baseline data to track implemented prevention efforts.
Themes: Community, physical environment, job opportunities and growth, communication approaches, generational differences, sense of hope or optimism, stress coping mechanisms, perception of substance misuse, consequences of substance misuse, and substance use
Key strategies: Academia/education, peer support, family and friends, key messages, and community resources
Now what? Next steps:
1. The Bureau of Drug and Alcohol Services put out an RFP and will fund 11 of the 13 Regional Public Health Networks to implement young adult strategies (SBIRT; Employers; Peer leadership programs).
2. NAMI to adapt “Connect”, a youth-based suicide prevention train-the-trainer program: “Connect for Young Adults” (MH; suicide; AOD).
3. Develop and roll out a young adult social media campaign with a focus on binge drinking.
4. Second administration of the young adult assessment is being planned for 2019 which will provide important comparison data and indicate if the trends are moving in the right direction.
This document appears to be part of a health education program for 8th grade students. It provides an agenda and goals for 8 lessons on topics like relationships, decision making, abstinence and contraception, STIs, empathy, and refusal skills. It introduces the program directors and health educators leading the lessons. It also includes activities, discussions, role plays, and factual information to educate students on these health topics in an age-appropriate manner.
The document provides information about the fully online Master of Science in Child & Adolescent Behavioral Health program at the University of South Florida. It summarizes an interview with Kari Klein, a student in the Youth and Behavioral Health concentration who was attracted to the program's flexibility and specialized focus. Klein hopes to use her degree to help establish early intervention programs abroad and eventually become a director to create positive change in children's mental healthcare. She encourages others passionate about improving lives to apply for the degree.
Exploring using outcome measures with different cultural groups - Dr Emma Mor...CYP MH
This document summarizes a conference on implementing the Children and Young People's Improving Access to Psychological Therapies (CYP IAPT) program across various cultures. It discusses the importance of ensuring routine outcome measures are valid and do not negatively impact engagement for minority ethnic families. It provides guidance for clinicians to thoughtfully consider a family's cultural context and adapt their practice to build understanding and trust before using outcome forms. Finally, it emphasizes the need for organizations to embed culturally positive practices through leadership, community relationships, and promoting reflective learning across teams.
HPSA Becoming a Student Doctor (Virtual)Emil Chuck
I built a curated resource to build a "bootcamp" course for students aspiring to become health professionals like doctors, dentists, pharmacists, veterinarians, and optometrists. This virtual poster was presented for the Academy for Professionalism in Health Care in 2022. After it was launched, around 100 students have accessed it through the Health Professional Student Association and Student Doctor Network. We are looking for opportunities to partner with other organizations to build leadership skills for future healthcare providers, especially given the challenges for the next decade.

New Idea Session on Competency-Based Evaluation of Predental Students from the data-driven evaluation side (predental advising and letters of evaluation).
The document discusses the benefits of undergraduate research experiences. It outlines how research experience benefits the student's education by allowing them to practice problem-solving skills, immerse themselves in a field of study, and build relationships. Research is also beneficial for gaining admission to graduate programs, as it is often a required experience. The document also notes that research helps develop important skills for medical students such as analytical thinking and self-directed learning.
The document provides guidance on networking effectively. It emphasizes the importance of knowing yourself by recognizing your talents, accomplishments, dreams, and curiosities. It also stresses preparing a one-minute "elevator speech" about yourself and building relationships through activities at conferences like networking meals, exhibit halls, and receptions. The document includes examples for attendees to write down information about themselves and their strengths to share with others.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202
