Pittsburgh-Area Veteran Town Hall on the PACT Act
2023-04-04 17:00 - 20:00
DMVA Announces Pittsburgh-Area Veteran Town Hall Providing Information to Veterans on the PACT Act
Annville, PA – The Pennsylvania Department of Military and Veterans Affairs (DMVA) will hold an in-person Veteran Town Hall on the Promise to Address Comprehensive Toxics (PACT) Act on April 4, 2023, from 6-8 p.m. at the West View VFW Post 2754, 386 Perry Highway, Pittsburgh, PA 15229. The town hall will also be available by phone to increase accessibility for Pennsylvania’s more than 700,000 veterans – the fourth largest veteran population in the nation.
The new federal PACT Act law expands VA health care and benefits for veterans exposed to burn pits, Agent Orange, and other toxic substances. The town hall will provide veterans and their advocates with a convenient platform to learn and ask questions about eligibility and applying for benefits related to the PACT Act.
“The PACT Act has expanded benefits to thousands of veterans throughout Pennsylvania who were exposed to toxic substances during their military service,” said Maj. Gen. Mark Schindler, Pennsylvania’s acting adjutant general and head of the DMVA. “Many veterans don’t know they may be eligible for these additional benefits, so we are making the PACT Act a primary focus this year. Our goal is to raise awareness, answer questions, and connect as many veterans as possible to the benefits they have earned.”
In-person attendees are also invited to arrive early to enjoy a dedicated resource fair from 5-6 p.m.
Featured presenters for this event will be Chip Gilliland, DMVA’s chief of the Division of Reintegration and Outreach; and Jennifer Vandermolen, director of the Pittsburgh VA Regional Office.
In-person town hall attendees are asked to register prior to the event by calling 717-644-3890. Anyone joining the town hall by phone should call 267-332-8737 and enter Conference ID: 989503340# to participate. Both in-person attendees and callers will be able to ask questions during the town hall. Media are permitted to attend.

Boundaries provide structure in relationships and ensure that everyone involved is respected and gets their needs met.

Join Families for Depression Awareness on Thursday, May 25, 2023, from 7:00 PM to 8:30 PM ET to hear from Jenny Woodworth, LISW, to learn how to define boundaries as they relate to familial relationships. You’ll learn why boundaries are necessary when supporting a loved one with a mood disorder and how to apply boundaries as a form of self-care.

The Landscape of LGBTQ+ Affirming Healthcare in Erie: A Panel Discussion

This is a free event provided by UPMC Western Behavioral Health at Safe Harbor, The LGBT Funds of The Erie Community Foundation, Mercyhurst University and The Hamot Health Foundation.

Historically, the LGBTQ+ community has faced barriers to accessing quality healthcare due to discrimination, stigma, and lack of knowledgeable and welcoming providers. Additionally, many LGBTQ+ people face challenges that increase health risks and can lead to negative health outcomes. Combined, this creates health disparities for LGBTQ+ individuals compared to their cisgender, heterosexual counterparts. This is a concern across countless communities, including here in Erie.
LGBTQ+ affirming healthcare ensures that all individuals have access to high-quality healthcare services, regardless of their sexual orientation or gender identity. It is important for healthcare and social service providers to understand the unique needs of LGBTQ+ individuals. It is equally important for facilities to provide a welcoming, inclusive, and competent environment.
Our panel will discuss the current healthcare landscape for LGBTQ+ individuals in our area and what resources are available.

Learning Objectives for CME/SW/LPC/LMFT Credits:

Identify three core principles of LGBTQ+ affirming healthcare
Review at least five health risks potentially faced by individuals in the LGBTQ+ community
Name at least three barriers to care that may impact LGBTQ+ individuals
Describe the current healthcare landscape for LGBTQ+ individuals in our region, including in primary care, mental health, and substance use settings.
Set an actionable goal to improve LGBTQ+ health for our region.

ACCREDITATION
In support of improving patient care the University of Pittsburgh is jointly accredited by the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education (ACCME), the Accreditation Council for Pharmacy Education (ACPA), and the American Nurses Credentialing Center (ANCC) to provide continuing education for the health care team.
Physician (CME)
The University of Pittsburgh designates this live activity for a maximum of 1.0 AMA PRA Category 1 Credit™. Physicians should claim only the credit commensurate with the extent of their participation in the activity.
Social Work (CEU)
Mercyhurst University’s Department of Social Work is accredited by the Council on Social Work Education and is an approved provider of social work, Marriage & Family Therapist and Professional Counselor continuing education by the Pennsylvania State Licensing Board. 1.0 hours of CEUs offered to all attendees.
For CEUs in LSW/LCSW/LMFT/LPC, requirements include attendance for the entire session as verified by Teams attendance records (or sign-in/sign-out sheets for in-person) and completion of a course evaluation that will be provided at the end of the session.
For AMA CME/CNE credit, a code will be provided with further instructions.
