DR Grantee Denvers Villages
The document discusses Denver's Village Wrapping Families with Community Support program. It provides demographic information about Denver, noting its population size and diversity. It then discusses Denver's current foster care system, with over 1700 children in out of home placement. The vision of the program is to increase the numbers of approved kinship and foster homes that reflect the community's diversity and keep more children placed locally. It proposes a Community Based Resource Team approach to better support permanency planning and resource family recruitment/retention by collaborating with community partners.
DR Grantee Santa Cruz County
The document outlines a program called "Roots and Wings" aimed at improving permanency outcomes for foster youth in Santa Cruz County, California. The program seeks to provide foster youth with strong family connections ("roots") and opportunities to thrive ("wings") by implementing a multi-faceted recruitment effort to find more foster and adoptive families reflective of the children in care and ensure resource parents feel supported. Key aspects of the program include targeted recruitment, concurrent planning, customer service-driven licensing, and providing additional supports like mentors and funds to help youth transition to permanent homes. The goals are to assess current practices, improve processes within the Family and Children's Services division, and ultimately lead to better outcomes for the children and families served
DR Grantee MO DSS
This document summarizes a collaboration in Missouri called Extreme Recruitment that aims to find permanent families for children over age 10 who have been in foster care for more than 15 months. The collaboration involves child welfare agencies and providers working together. It plans to serve 150 youth and achieve permanency through adoption or guardianship for at least 70% of those youth. It describes the need in the region and risks for youth who age out of foster care without support. The program involves identifying eligible youth, finding potential families through various recruitment strategies, and providing education and long-term support services to families.
DR Grantee Cuyahoga County
This document outlines a public-private-university initiative in Cuyahoga County, Ohio to increase permanency for children in foster care through two programs:
1) A relatives initiative to increase the percentage of children who exit to adoption within 24 months from 25.1% to 37.2% or higher by completing home studies for relatives more efficiently.
2) A siblings initiative to increase adoptive placements of siblings groups from 58% to 80% by increasing resources for families willing to care for large sibling groups and their service needs.
The initiative will evaluate these programs using a neighborhood-based approach, comparing outcomes for participants in neighborhoods receiving the intervention to matched neighborhoods that do not.

This document discusses innovations in transitional housing programs for youth using funding from the Homeless Prevention and Rapid Re-Housing Program (HPRP). It outlines a continuum of housing options for youth, from most to least restrictive, and describes how two organizations in South Dakota and North Dakota have implemented HPRP-funded programs. These programs provide case management, housing assistance, and supportive services to help homeless youth transition to stable housing situations and gain independence. The programs have had success in helping most participants maintain housing after exiting the programs and gain employment. However, budgeting, supervision, and long-term funding remain challenges.

Online and offline bullying and social support: Predictors of mental well-bei...Center for Innovative Public Health Research
Bullying was found to predict poorer mental well-being for LGBT youth, both offline and online. Online social support, particularly LGBT-specific support, predicted better well-being above offline support. Offline general and LGBT-specific support also predicted greater well-being. While online support served an important role, offline general social relationships appeared most beneficial. Future research should explore differences between online/offline and general/LGBT-specific support functions, and examine how support impacts the relationship between bullying and mental health.South Carolina Adverse Childhood Experiences Initiative
This document discusses adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) in South Carolina. It provides data from a 2014 survey that found 45% of South Carolinians experienced at least one ACE, with emotional abuse, substance abuse in the household, and parental divorce or separation being the most common. Exposure to multiple ACEs strongly correlates with negative health, social, and educational outcomes. The state is working to address ACEs through training programs, prevention frameworks, and policy changes to support evidence-based programming and invest in preventative care. The impacts of ACEs in schools include lower GPAs, higher absenteeism, increased behavioral issues, and greater likelihood of risk behaviors.

5.5 Housing and Service Interventions for Youth and Young Parents: Successful Models
Speaker: Todd Witt
For unaccompanied youth and young parents who cannot be reunified with their families or quickly re-housed independently, longer-term housing interventions may be necessary. This workshop will examine transitional housing models currently being utilized to serve youth and young parents, including congregate facilities and scattered-site units, as well as methods of targeting and minimizing involuntary exits.Final Draft-Poster Presentation
This document analyzes the impact of culturally appropriate outreach initiatives on raising awareness of domestic violence issues among South Asian communities in New Jersey. It finds that such initiatives increased attendance at outreach and training events from 2014 to 2015 and helped the organization Manavi assist more survivors, including more from outside of New Jersey. Specifically, engaging local religious institutions like Hindu temples, community gatherings, and providing literature in multiple languages proved effective at reaching diverse South Asian cultures. Cultural sensitivity training for law enforcement also helped provide contextual understanding of domestic violence issues for these communities.

Powerful Nexus of the Medical Home: Providers in Partnerships for FamiliesChildren’s Trust of South Carolina
This document describes the partnership between Reach Out and Read and home visitation programs to promote early childhood literacy. Their mission is to prepare young children for school success by having pediatricians prescribe books and encourage families to read together. The partnership's three-part model involves pediatricians providing guidance to parents on reading aloud, prescribing age-appropriate books at checkups, and maintaining literacy-rich clinic environments. Research shows this model helps children enter kindergarten with stronger language skills and parents read to their children more frequently. The document outlines how the partnership between Reach Out and Read and organizations like Care Ring works in practice to seamlessly promote their shared goal of improving child development through reading.2014 caseviii knowthydonors

Research on Student Volunteers
University students are likely to be an important source of volunteers now and in the future. A study found that while university student volunteers and non-volunteers had similar personal characteristics, volunteers showed greater openness to new experiences. The most common volunteer activities of university students were teaching/coaching (24%) and providing care/support (24%). They volunteered most for schools (23%), social services (22%), and arts/recreation (18%). To retain university student volunteers, organizations should offer opportunities for them to expand responsibilities, try new approaches, and continue learning new skills.

Is Lucid Dreaming Dangerous? Risks and Benefits!
Lucid Dreaming: Understanding the Risks and Benefits
The ability to control one's dreams or for the dreamer to be aware that he or she is dreaming. This process, called lucid dreaming, has some potential risks as well as many fascinating benefits. However, many people are hesitant to try it initially for fear of the potential dangers. This article aims to clarify these concerns by exploring both the risks and benefits of lucid dreaming.
The Benefits of Lucid Dreaming
Lucid dreaming allows a person to take control of their dream world, helping them overcome their fears and eliminate nightmares. This technique is particularly useful for mental health. By taking control of their dreams, individuals can face challenging scenarios in a controlled environment, which can help reduce anxiety and increase self-confidence.
Addressing Common Concerns
Physical Harm in Dreams Lucid dreaming is fundamentally safe. In a lucid dream, everything is a creation of your mind. Therefore, nothing in the dream can physically harm you. Despite the vividness and realness of the dream experience, it remains entirely within your mental landscape, posing no physical danger.
Mental Health Risks Concerns about developing PTSD or other mental illnesses from lucid dreaming are unfounded. As soon as you wake up, it's clear that the events experienced in the dream were not real. On the contrary, lucid dreaming is often seen as a therapeutic tool for conditions like PTSD, as it allows individuals to reframe and manage their thoughts.
Potential Risks of Lucid Dreaming
While generally safe, lucid dreaming does come with a few risks as well:
Mixing Dream Memories with Reality Long-term lucid dreamers might occasionally confuse dream memories with real ones, creating false memories. This issue is rare and preventable by maintaining a dream journal and avoiding lucid dreaming about real-life people or places too frequently.
Escapism Using lucid dreaming to escape reality can be problematic if it interferes with your daily life. While it is sometimes beneficial to escape and relieve the stress of reality, relying on lucid dreaming for happiness can hinder personal growth and productivity.
Feeling Tired After Lucid Dreaming Some people report feeling tired after lucid dreaming. This tiredness is not due to the dreams themselves but often results from not getting enough sleep or using techniques that disrupt sleep patterns. Taking breaks and ensuring adequate sleep can prevent this.
Mental Exhaustion Lucid dreaming can be mentally taxing if practiced excessively without breaks. It’s important to balance lucid dreaming with regular sleep to avoid mental fatigue.
Lucid dreaming is safe and beneficial if done with caution. It has many benefits, such as overcoming fear and improving mental health, and minimal risks. There are many resources and tutorials available for those interested in trying it.
