Integrating Behavioral Health Services with Primary Care
Improving the relationships between mental health and primary care services has become a national concern, yet this integration is fraught with barriers. Funded by SAMHSA, the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania has developed and launched the Behavioral Health-Works program, a multi-faceted, system change approach that addresses these challenges. The program simultaneously focuses on mental health education for the Primary Care Provider (PCP), web based screening for suicide and other key behavioral health problems, and improving the process for referring youth to mental health services. Outcomes indicate increased rates of identification of at risk youth and greater satisfaction with the collaboration between these systems of care. The presentation will discuss these challenges, solutions, program components and outcomes.

What's Advocacy, What's Lobbying, and What's Plain Old Educating Our Policymakers?
WEBINAR PLAYBACK
Everyone needs to know the difference between advocating, lobbying, and educating policymakers so that they may be an effective voice in children’s mental health policy. So many communities that operate with federal grants feel that there is little they can do to influence policy in their state. From this webinar, you will learn concrete and simple actions that your organization, or you as an individual, can take to make an impact in changing the children’s mental health system.

Linking Primary Care and Systems of Care: Innovation at the State and Community Levels to Support Children and Youth with Behavioral Health Challenges
WEBINAR PLAYBACK
Linking the concepts of Medical Home, Health Homes and Systems of Care is an ongoing process. With the help of health care reform, many states and communities who are implementing Systems of Care are reaching out to the primary care community in the hopes of better integration between health and behavioral health. Systems of care have had years of experience working on interagency collaboration and can put this knowledge to use in exploring innovations with this new partner. In this interactive webinar, one state will share how they are successfully building a bridge with primary care – utilizing a variety of approaches and some unique strategies that will help all of us as we enter into these new and exciting dialogues. As with all system collaboration, there is a new language to learn and a new infrastructure to engage. Join us for a stimulating webinar on one state's experience building the partnerships that have led to innovation and change.

Creating Trauma-Informed Child Serving Systems
WEBINAR PLAYBACK
More than two thirds of American youth have experienced at least one significant traumatic event by the age of 16; over one third have been exposed to multiple types of trauma. Many of these children develop symptoms of traumatic stress, which can derail a child’s healthy development. The prevalence of trauma exposure and symptoms of traumatic stress are greater for children within child-serving systems such as child welfare and juvenile justice. Access to services through specialty mental health clinics is rare; children are more likely to receive entry to mental health services through schools and health care settings. Child-serving systems need to have greater awareness of issues related to child trauma.
This webinar will explore the problem and impact of trauma exposure on American’s youth. It will examine issues of access to appropriate mental health services, and the varied response of difference systems in addressing children’s needs around trauma. It will explore the meaning of a trauma-informed child serving system, and the work done by the National Child Traumatic Stress Network to help systems become more trauma-informed. Specifically, it will look at practical strategies and tools developed for creating more trauma-informed child welfare, juvenile justice, education, mental health, first responder, and health care systems.

“No one system controls everything and every system controls something.” [Pires, S. A. (2008). Building Systems of Care: A Primer for Child Welfare. National Technical Assistance Center for Children’s Mental Health, Georgetown University Center for Child and Human Development.] Working together makes sense; however, with competing goals or focus, it’s very difficult for systems to work together. This workshop will provide participants with a broad array of collaborative strategies that can improve social emotional well-being for children, youth and families involved in the child welfare system. An in-depth review of North Dakota's Wraparound Practice Model was conducted with a focus on the collaborative processes that have allowed North Dakota to sustain its approach for approximately 10 years. Participants will learn about the critical components necessary for creating a system that supports cross-system collaboration, improved access to services and coordinated service plans. Key strategies to successfully engage children, youth and families in their own service planning and as full partners in systems development/implementation will be presented.

The System of Care framework with its values, principles, and operational components has guided reform efforts in the field for the last 25 years, leading to more effective child-serving systems and services for children and youth with, or at risk of, mental health challenges. Recently, the System of Care framework has been updated by the Georgetown University National Technical Assistance Center for Children’s Mental Health to incorporate new knowledge and practice advances coming from the experiences of states and communities. Just as the original system of care concepts have evolved and expanded over time, the workforce that is providing services and supports for children and youth with behavioral health disorders and their families must also expand in new and innovative ways consistent with these advancements in the field.
This webinar will present and discuss three innovative approaches for workforce development that are reflective of the recently updated System of Care framework:
- An integrated, competency-based approach for workforce training and skill enhancement, developed by a state for early childhood providers;
- A certification approach for training paraprofessional, parent-to-parent support service providers; and
- An approach to workforce development that strengthens the capacity for implementation of culturally and linguistically competent practices.

Now is time for states to learn about how the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act will affect behavioral health services. States will have huge roles in shaping opportunities under the Affordable Care Act. The Act modifies many programs, such as Medicaid and CHIP, that currently provide behavioral health services for children, families and young adults and offers new programs and opportunities to enhance service provision. New Medicaid options for organizing service delivery, Health Exchanges, and new Workforce Development programs are just a few of the new program opportunities available through the Act. The timeline for implementation is moving quickly and states are already designing and planning for the options they will put in place. It is important for children’s advocates and administrators to know where they can have an influence on the decisions that will be made to ensure attention is given to improving services for children, youth, and young adults with behavioral health needs.
This Webinar will give participants an overview of the Affordable Care Act, including:
- General Provisions of the Act that Affect Child and Family Mental Health Services
- Health Insurance Exchanges
- Expansion of Medicaid and CHIP Reauthorization
- New Programs and Workforce Development

Many children at risk for social, emotional, mental or behavioral issues are not consistently linked to the services and supports that they need. Primary care, as a partner with children's mental health, has an important role to play in assuring that children receive appropriate holistic and developmental care. This webinar will provide an overview of opportunities provided by the Medical Home model for children's mental health and primary care to strengthen their collaboration by shifting the paradigm from a referral based system to a linked and integrated system. Participants will be introduced to the concept of the Medical Home, and examples will be provided of successful primary care-mental health linkages. Opportunities for enhanced collaboration within the Affordable Care Act (Health Care Reform) will also be addressed.
