SUMMARY:Setting Boundaries for Healthy Relationships and Caregiver Self-Care
DESCRIPTION:Airing Thursday\, May 25\, 2023\, from 7:00 to 8:30 pm ET \nRegister Now \nHealthy boundaries are essential for any caregiver supporting a loved one living with depression. Boundaries provide structure in relationships and ensure that everyone involved is respected and gets their needs met. By setting clear limits\, you can prioritize your wellness while continuing to be a support for your loved one. \nTaking the time to nurture yourself emotionally\, mentally\, and physically can help you remain strong despite the demands of caregiving and avoid caregiver burnout. Learn how to develop and affirm your boundaries to promote your own wellness and strengthen your relationship with your loved one. \nJoin 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. \nThis program is supported by: \nTakeda Lundbeck Alliance \nSage Therapeutics \nGeneSight \nAlkermes \nJanssen Neuroscience \nMassachusetts Department of Public Health Suicide Prevention Program

SUMMARY:Crisis in a Post-Pandemic World: Back to Basics
DESCRIPTION:Over the past few years\, we have all witnessed significant changes in our health\, economy\, politics\, social justice and challenges just getting through our daily lives. Crisis services have increasingly been asked to respond to a myriad of new challenges in how individuals relate to themselves and others. Communities are being wracked by violent events and it seems that traumatic situations are occurring in the news daily. Trauma contributes to responses such as isolation\, anxiety\, and substance abuse. \nAs a result of these traumas\, crisis workers\, first responders\, law enforcement and service-related providers are charged with returning those exposed to trauma back to a new normal\, this often takes a great toll on those responding. \nObjectives• Address special areas of interest: trauma informed care\, traumatic events\, community safety and crisis skill building;• Identify crisis intervention strategies for working with specific populations;• Discuss methods and techniques that crisis workers can use in assessing and responding to crisis situations;• Develop an understanding of the frustrations of those struggling to overcome the effects of mental health stigma. \nThe Crisis Intervention Association of PennsylvaniaSeven Springs Mountain ResortChampion\, PAApril 26–27\, 2023 \nRegistration link: https://form.jotform.com/230436336624049

SUMMARY:Pittsburgh-Area Veteran Town Hall on the PACT Act
DESCRIPTION:DMVA Announces Pittsburgh-Area Veteran Town Hall Providing Information to Veterans on the PACT Act\nAnnville\, 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. \nThe 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. \n“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.” \nIn-person attendees are also invited to arrive early to enjoy a dedicated resource fair from 5-6 p.m. \nFeatured 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. \nIn-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.

SUMMARY:Motivating Veterans to Engage in Substance Use Disorder Treatment
DESCRIPTION:Motivating Veterans to Engage in Substance Use Disorder Treatment\nTuesday\, March 28th\, 2023\n9:30AM PST – 10:30AM MT – 12:30PM EST \nLocation: \nVirtual Presentation \nPresented By: \nAlice Maynor\, LCSW \nDescription:\nVeterans are a unique population to treat for substance use and mental illness due to their background in the military. After ears of having strict structure\, highly stressful career expectations\, and rigorous back to back training\, Veterans re-entering the civilian world can be a difficult challenge to overcome for most. Because of this\, Veterans struggling with substance use disorder and PTSD often enter treatment extremely guarded and/or resistant to treatment\, which can lead to them leaving treatment early. Substance abuse and PTSD are complex issues that require consistent care and commitment to healing for any population\, but for Veterans\, it’s important to understand the barriers that they face on a daily basis and how to help them overcome them. \nRegister online.
