Click here to register for this webinar
What:
Teasing, taunting, bullying, harassment, and physical aggression are pervasive problems with children and adolescents across the country and in our communities today. To address these problems, schools need comprehensive, evidence-based, and ecologically-sound assessment to intervention approaches at the primary (e.g., whole school or school linked to community), secondary (e.g., early intervention groups for potential or "early-indication" bullies or victims), and tertiary (e.g., direct services for existing bullies) levels of prevention. This webinar will present strategies at each of these intervention levels using Project ACHIEVE's "Special Situation Analysis" approach. More specifically, the webinar will discuss ways to leverage social skills training, peer-mediated approaches, school-wide accountability systems, school safety systems, and home-school collaboration such that teasing, taunting, bullying, harassment, and physical aggression is either prevented or addressed. Especially emphasized will be the importance of differentiating approaches to address the bullies, victims, and bystanders who are involved in these inappropriate interactions. Participants will learn: How school-based teasing, taunting, bullying, harassment, and physical aggression need to be addressed through comprehensive, evidence-based, and ecologically-sound assessment to intervention approaches at the primary, secondary, and tertiary prevention levels; How to apply Project ACHIEVE's "Special Situation Analysis" approach to interventions at these three levels ; How to leverage social skills training, peer-mediated approaches, school-wide accountability systems, school safety systems, and home-school col

Dana will also indicate the policies that will change in the MSSA Rural Policy Handbook for adoption. New tobacco products aimed at our youth will be presented during the course if this half-day workshop. Media Literacy 101 Kids spend an average of more than 7 hours a day with some form of media. As a result, they sometimes grow up having more interaction with TV, the Internet, and other media messages than people. Media Literacy refers to the ability to access, analyze, evaluate, and create media messages of all kinds. This interactive training will explore basic concepts of media literacy by examining TV commercials, messages and print ads, and tobacco and alcohol marketing. We will work in small and large groups to discuss the language of persuasion, deconstruct ads, and create counter messages. After this training, participants will have a greater understanding of media literacy and walk away with tools they can use with their learners. Objective 1: Participants will define media literacy and understand some techniques of persuasion. Objective 2: Participants will understand how media literacy education helps prevent tobacco and alcohol initiation among youth. Objective 3: Participants will learn new media literacy activities and exercises they can do with their learners.When and Where: Thursday, February 23rd, 2012 at the Lewistown Yogo Inn Mountain RoomsMonday, February 27th, 2012 at the Butte Quality Inn Big Sky Room (formerly War Bonnet)Tuesday, February 28th, 2012 at the Bozeman Comfort Inn Big Sky Room8:30 am - 4:00 pm All daysContact:Sharon M.

Prevention and Holistic Approaches to Wellness: A Fresh Perspective on Mental Health Re... - 0 views
-
What: People diagnosed with mental health problems have significantly shorter life spans and are more likely to have serious but preventable health conditions—including obesity, diabetes, and hypertension—compared to people who do not have mental health problems. Traditionally, the mental health field has focused primarily on a person’s psychiatric stabilization rather than taking a broader, holistic approach that looks at the wellness of the whole person—mind, body, and spirit. Recent preventive and holistic approaches along with complementary and alternative medicines (CAMs) have shown success in improving the overall health of individuals with mental health problems which contributes to their ability to live a more full and satisfying life in the community. The SAMHSA 10x10 Wellness Campaign invites you to a free training teleconference titled “Prevention and Holistic Approaches to Wellness: A Fresh Perspective on Mental Health Recovery.” This teleconference will educate diverse stakeholders about both peer-delivered and community mental health provider-delivered alternatives to wellness that focus on building resiliency and supporting individuals to establish healthier lifestyles. It also will address how to create educational campaigns and outreach to disseminate information about complementary and alternative healing practices in the context of rigorous science.

This session of Grand Rounds explored opportunities for optimal quality of life for individuals with disabilities. One in 6 adult Americans lives with a disability when defined by a limitation in function. Many are at higher risk for multiple chronic conditions, injuries, and increased vulnerability during disasters. Comparatively, people with disabilities are 4 times more likely to report their health to be fair/poor and 2.5 times more likely to have unmet health care needs than non-disabled peers. $400 billion is spent annually on disability-related health expenditures. Public health can help change this by promoting wellness and preventing disease in people with disabilities. CDC′s approach for a population who experiences diverse functional limitations is to assure that mainstream public health surveys, programs, and policies include people with disabilities across the lifespan, a method that can be modeled by state and federal programs. This powerful session of Grand Rounds explored public health opportunities for disease prevention, intervention and improvement to enable people to live well with functional limitations. We also highlighted accomplishments of partners and public health agencies in creating and modifying health programs to accommodate people with disabilities. Tentative future Grand Rounds topics include venous thromboembolism (VTE), HPV, teen pregnancy and immunization. Target Audience:

Bullying Prevention: Ways for Parents and Educators to Work Together - 0 views

For the past few years, I have been part of various assessment projects related to family and community engagement, or as I like to call it, “the school-home-community partnership.” Bullying is a common topic raised by parents and educators, so I did some research on bullying-prevention programs that schools are using to address this issue. Not surprisingly, each of the prevention programs has a strong component of parent involvement.

Download the flyer for this event
What:
Wide use of RTI/MTSS as a prevention framework in general education poses potential problems for unprepared special educators and their programs. For example, RTI as a schoolwide prevention framework is technically incompatible with traditional severe discrepancy models, which require students to experience academic failure prior to identification. This interactive workshop will address these types of concerns and provide recommendations for avoiding potential legal pitfalls associated with RTI implementation.
