SUMMARY:Aligning the Field Around a 988 Messaging Framework
DESCRIPTION:Tuesday\, March 22\, 2022 2:00 – 3:00 p.m. ET \nRegister online. \nIn July 2022\, the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline (800-273-8255) will transition to 988—an easy to remember three-digit dialing\, texting\, and chat code for anyone experiencing a suicidal or mental health crisis. To help public messengers—including state agencies\, crisis centers\, non-profit organizations\, businesses\, foundations\, and others—in determining when and how to best communicate about 988\, the National Action Alliance for Suicide Prevention (Action Alliance)\, is releasing a 988 Messaging Framework next month. Developed in collaboration with a 988 Messaging Task Force co-led by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) and Vibrant Emotional Health (operational home of the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline)\, the 988 Messaging Framework will serve as a roadmap of key elements to consider when planning a messaging strategy around the transition to 988. This resource provides general guidance to the field around when and how to develop public messages about 988 and is not intended to provide tailored\, audience-specific\, ready-to-use messaging. \nJoin the Action Alliance on March 22 at 2:00 p.m. ET for a free webinar—Aligning the Field Around a 988 Messaging Framework—to learn more about this new resource and how you can use it to guide your public messaging efforts. During this hour-long webinar\, participants will: \n· Learn how to utilize the 988 Messaging Framework to inform strategic messaging efforts ahead of and following the nationwide transition to 988 in July 2022. \n· Have an opportunity to hear directly from the national leads of 988—SAMHSA and Vibrant Emotional Health—about 988 implementation and communications and the importance of aligned messaging across the field. \nPanelists for the webinar include: \n· Ms. Kim Torguson\, Director of Engagement & Communications\, National Action Alliance for Suicide Prevention\, Education Development Center (moderator) \n· Mr. Mark Custer\, Director\, Reingold \n· Dr. John Draper\, Director\, National Suicide Prevention Lifeline\, Vibrant Emotional Health \n· Ms. Kate Galatas\, Public Sector Co-Lead\, 988 Messaging Task Force\, and Chief 988 Communications & Engagement Officer\, SAMHSA \n· Dr. John Palmieri\, Acting Director of 988\, SAMHSA \nThe Action Alliance thanks Executive Committee (EXCOM) partner Johnson & Johnson—Janssen for providing support for the development of the 988 Messaging Framework.

SUMMARY:Psychological Impacts of Transition for Military Service Members
DESCRIPTION:Date: April 21\, 2022Time: 2:00–3:30 p.m. ET \nRegister Online \n\n\nAround 200\,000 service members transition to civilian life each year\, according to the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD). As we have seen after the military drawdown in Afghanistan and Iraq in recent years\, reintegration is currently affecting thousands of military families. Reintegration is an important process to understand in terms of its effects on families\, couple relationships\, parenting roles\, mental and emotional health\, and impacts on the larger civilian and military communities. Transitioning military service members who could benefit from mental health treatment may not seek treatment voluntarily. To completely address the needs of transitioning military service members\, treatments and services must consider the wide array of challenges that service members may face when reintegrating into civilian life. Most Veterans experience high levels of stress in their transition back to civilian life. This webinar will shed light on factors contributing to transition stress\, issues with role changes\, lack of purpose and shared experience\, and stigma surrounding mental health diagnoses. \n\n\nThis 1.5-hour webinar will provide a framework for transitioning service members and their families to better navigate the behavioral health resources and services they are eligible to receive. We will discuss strategies for improving access and best practices in treatment and services. Participants will discover tools and resources available to promote these strategies and make an impact in their local communities. \nPresenters\n\nStacey Owens\, M.S.W.\, LCSW-C\, Military and Veterans Affairs Liaison\, Center for Mental Health Services\, Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration\nColonel Carl Andrew Castro\, Ph.D.\, USA\, Ret.\, Professor of Social Work and Psychology\, Director\, Military and Veteran Programs\, Suzanne Sworak-Peck School of Social Work\, University of Southern California\nGeorge A. Bonanno\, Ph.D.\, Professor of Clinical Psychology\, Department of Counseling and Clinical Psychology\, Teachers College\, Columbia University\nColonel Denise “Deno” Cooper\, Ph.D.\, USAF\, Ret.\n\nLearning Objectives\n\nDefine the issue by providing relevant and timely data on the reintegration of service members and the psychological and behavioral impacts of military service\nHighlight key factors contributing to transition stress among service members\, their families\, and the broader civilian and military communities\nIllustrate the effects of mental health stigma on transitioning service members seeking treatment and support\, and provide key approaches and best practices to address mental and emotional health\nDemonstrate concrete strategies for supporting our service members as they navigate the behavioral health system and employment opportunities\, and reestablish family roles\nProvide examples of best practices and systems of support and services in place for the behavioral health needs of transitioning service members\, focused on post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and beyond\nDiscuss strategies for community providers to improve access and sustained engagement in behavioral health services

SUMMARY:11th Annual National LOSS Team Conference
DESCRIPTION:The Annual National LOSS (Local Outreach to Suicide Survivors) Team Conference is a multi-dimensional\, multi-day event that actively explores the public health crisis of suicide. It includes community engagement\, nationally recognized subject experts\, and strategic conference topics\, creating a unique opportunity for mental health professionals\, first responders\, school counselors\, faith leaders\, funeral directors\, suicide loss survivors\, LOSS Team members\, and other community members to share and learn about caring for those struggling with a loss to suicide.\n\n \nThis year’s conference theme is ‘Postvention is Prevention’. Developing a LOSS Team and integrating it into a community provides immediate support and resources to persons who have lost a loved one\, friend\, or colleague to suicide. LOSS Teams engage in advanced postvention efforts that take place immediately following a death by suicide and provide services\, support\, and linkage to the suicidally bereaved. Regrettably\, in many communities there is no organized response to local suicides\, which can leave survivors to feel isolated\, guilty\, or ashamed as they attempt to find a path forward. The bereaved may struggle for long periods of time before seeking or receiving help. LOSS Teams can change that. Research shows that families touched by suicide that do not receive initial services by a LOSS Team will wait many years before reaching out for help. \n\n\nThe ONSITE conference registration fee includes the following:\n\n\n\nAdmittance to all 4 keynote speakers\nAdmittance to 5 workshops\nCEUs*\nBreakfast\, lunch\, and snacks for both conference days\nOptional evening excursion: Trolley ride to downtown Fort Wayne\n\n \nThe VIRTUAL conference registration fee includes the following:\n\n\nAdmittance to all 4 keynote speakers\nAdmittance to one workshop from each track\nLOSS panel\nLOSS Team panel\n\n\n\n*Continuing education hours are available for conference attendees and are included in the registration fee. Certificates are awarded by Purdue University Fort Wayne and will be emailed after the conference.  \n\n\n\nVisit the conference website for full details and registration.

SUMMARY:How States and Communities Can Better Support Military and Veteran Caregivers
DESCRIPTION:Date: Three-part series: December 13\, 2022; January 12\, 2023; February 9\, 2023Time: 2:00–3:30 p.m. ET \nRegister Online \n\n\n\nSession 1 – The Future of Caregiving: A Path for the Way Forward\n\nPart 1: Tuesday\, December 13\, 2022\, 2:00-3:30 p.m. ET \n\nLearning Objectives\n\nDescribe what we know about the caregiver population\, which includes not only spouses but also children\, grandparents\, siblings\, neighbors\, and friends\nReview the recently released National Strategy to Support Family Caregivers\nExamine the latest research and national trends on military and Veteran caregivers\n\nPresenter\n\nRoxana Delgado\, Ph.D.\, Assistant Professor\, UT Health San Antonio; Research Advisor to the Campaign for Inclusive Care\, Dole Caregiver Fellow Alumna\, Elizabeth Dole Foundation\n\n\nWith over 5.5 million military and Veteran caregivers in the United States\, the implementation of the newly released National Strategy to Support Family Caregivers is a critical step forward for those caring for our Nation’s wounded\, ill\, and injured service members and Veterans. Caregivers consistently experience worse health outcomes\, greater challenges in family relationships\, and increased difficulties in the workplace than non-caregivers. Military and Veteran caregivers are unique in that they tend to be younger and serve in caregiver roles longer than their civilian counterparts. \n\n\nThis learning community will provide participants an opportunity to learn in a small group and interactive setting. The objectives of this learning community are to (1) Discover a framework for supporting military and Veteran caregivers\, (2) Examine how both paid and informal caregivers can be recognized and valued in the continuum of care\, and (3) Identify resources available that are specifically tailored for military and Veteran caregivers. \n\n\nThe learning community will meet monthly for three sessions beginning in December 2022 via Zoom. Each session will feature an expert presentation with engaging group discussion incorporated throughout.
