Plenary: Building Bridges: Strengthening Kentucky’s Families and Youth

Kentucky Strengthening Families/Youth Thrive is a framework and nationally recognized strategy to support fami-lies, youth and communities in building six protective factors: parental resilience, social connections, knowledge of child development, concrete support in times of need, social and emotional competence of children, and nurturing and attachment. All Kentucky families can benefit from comprehensive efforts to build these protective factors. Protective factors reduce the impact of adversity and increase the well-being of children and families through fami-ly, community, and state partnerships.

Attendees will be able to connect Trauma Informed Care and System of Care principles and values to the six identi-fied Protective Factors; utilize key strategies to partner with families and youth at the individual, program, and sys-tem levels; and challenge the current strategies used for building relationships with families and youth receiving services.

Session I

Changing the Conversation: Substance Use Disorders and Youth Room: Salon E Presented by: Tara Moseley, Program Manager at Young People in Recovery

Target audience: Parents, Teachers, and Primary Care Phy-sicians

Have you ever sat down and talked to a young person about alcohol, addictive medication, or drug use? It can be difficult to talk about these subjects with a young mind. These conversations help to shape and foster youth into early adults. We have learned that the "Just Say No" slogan is not as effective as sitting down and having an honest conversation with youth. The first ob-stacle we need to discuss as a community is that sub-stance use disorder is a disorder that is treatable with support, treatment, and compassion for the ability to sustain long term recovery. When we break barriers of stigmatizing persons who are suffering, there is more of an incentive for young people to ask for help.

Participants will be able to verbalize the importance of having honest conversations with youth about alcohol, addictive medication, drug use, and its effects. Partici-pants will learn how to approach the conversation with youth using language that does not stigmatize nor pro-duce guilt or shame of the youth. Participants will be able to identify at-risk behaviors and discuss next steps to enable early prevention and encourage life style changes.

Building Bridges Initiative (BBI): Family-Driven Care with Residential Interventions Room: Salons A-C Presented by: Kelly Pipkins-Burt, M.Ed., LPC, BBI Project Lead with Building Bridges Initiative

Target audience: Residential leaders, clinical and direct-care staff, family and youth advocates, families and youth, community program and state oversight agency leaders and staff

This training will share research about why Family-driven Care (FDC) practices are critical for ensuring successful long-term outcomes for children and families post resi-dential discharge. A range of FDC strategies for success-

fully engaging families and an opportunity to honestly discuss challenging situations faced in working with fam-ilies will be included.

Participants will increase their understanding of critical factors for achieving long-term positive outcomes for youth and families served in residential programs; in-crease their knowledge-base about the importance of family-driven care and learn new ideas about how to im-plement family-driven care practices; have the oppor-tunity to safely and honestly discuss challenging situa-tions they have faced with families, and individual judg-ments/ prejudices they have had that make embracing and working with certain families difficult for them; and leave the training program with renewed enthusiasm for going back to their community residences and improving overall family-driven care practices, as well as addressing barriers to family-driven care.

Target audience: all

Changing a person's mind is no easy feat for any preven-tion effort, but doing so can have a huge impact on that person's behavior. Try changing more than one person's mind about an issue - it's a tall order. But that is exactly what the Regional Prevention Centers work to accom-plish around substance use and misuse. It is a change to the community's culture or norms that is sought. Using a data-driven, evidence-based approach, these skilled preventionists use every partnership available to provide a universal prevention message.

Participants will know where the Regional Prevention Centers are located and how to contact them; describe the universal prevention approach used by the Regional Prevention Centers; and be aware of the types of strate-gies and activities used by a Regional Prevention Center.

Target audience: professionals (clinicians and case manag-ers) who serve youth and young adults

Youth and young adults who are experiencing homeless-ness face significant barriers when attempting to meet their physical and behavioral health needs and achieve goals for their personal well-being.

Participants will learn at least three current best practic-es in effectively engaging and serving youth and young adults who are currently experiencing homelessness, including a discussion of strategies to address barriers specific to this population; hear lessons learned from serving homeless youth in a drop-in center setting, in-cluding success stories from youth; and learn about cur-rently available resources and programs for youth and youth adults experiencing homelessness.

Medical Diagnosis of Autism vs. Educational Eligibility for Autism Room: Salon B Presented by: Larry Taylor, Executive Director at Kentucky Autism Training Center

Target audience: diagnostic and service personnel for indi-viduals with autism

Various disciplines (education and clinical) have differing eligibility criteria for autism.

Trauma and Substance Abuse: The Complex Road Room: Lanes End Presented by: Beck Whipple, Staff Development Coordina-tor at Maryhurst, Inc.

Target audience: community members, service providers, family, youth workers

According to The National Child Traumatic Stress Net-work, there is a complex road that connects traumatic stress and substance use. Trauma increases the risk of developing substance abuse, and substance abuse in- creases the likelihood that adolescents will experience trauma.

In addition, we will examine the adaptive function of substance use and trauma. Fi-nally, we will discuss multi-disciplinary ways to screen for adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) as a indicator to increase resiliency factors.

Participants will know current numbers related to the prevalence of early childhood trauma amongst adoles-cents who use substances; look at the adaptive function of substance use as a way to, in the moment, deal with a current stress, despite the long term consequences of using; and discuss new and different ways to screen for ACEs as an indicator to increase resiliency factors.
