Guided Growth: Developing a Community-Based System of Prevention and Early Intervention for Families and Their Children Affected By Prenatal Substance Exposure
2022-05-25 12:30 - 14:00
WEDNESDAY, MAY 25, 2022: 12:30-2:00 PM
GUIDED GROWTH: DEVELOPING A COMMUNITY-BASED SYSTEM OF PREVENTION AND EARLY INTERVENTION FOR FAMILIES AND THEIR CHILDREN AFFECTED BY PRENATAL SUBSTANCE EXPOSURE
Presenters
Dr. Ira Chasnoff, NTI Upstream
Rebecca Davison-March, Esq., Chautauqua County Department of Health & Human Services
Substance use in pregnancy continues to be a significant factor in the morbidity and mortality associated with pregnancy and the newborn. However, the impact on the child continues over their lifespan. These challenges become even greater when racial and socioeconomic bias and inequity go unaddressed. This session will examine the structural and functional changes in the developing fetal brain induced by prenatal substance exposure, demonstrate how these changes ultimately impact learning and behavior in children, and present an evidence-based system of prevention and early intervention that addresses biases and inequities in the health care system and enhances the developmental trajectory of the child.

The Importance of Engaging People with Lived Experience in Planning for Systems Change
2022-06-22 12:30 - 14:00
WEDNESDAY, JUNE 22, 2022: 12:30-2:00 PM
THE IMPORTANCE OF ENGAGING PEOPLE WITH LIVED EXPERIENCE IN PLANNING FOR SYSTEMS CHANGE
Presenters
Zoe Livengood, National Council of Juvenile and Family Court Judges (NCJFCJ)
Mark Funkhouser, National Council of Juvenile and Family Court Judges (NCJFCJ)
Nancy Taylor, Certified Addiction Recovery Coach
Dorothy Carlson, Peer Advocate
Ruth Riddick, Alcoholism and Substance Abuse Providers of NYS (ASAP) Community Outreach
Ralph Wolf, Esq., Office for Justice Initiatives
As child welfare professionals, we develop policy/procedures and make decisions about system improvements, all of which affect the children and families we serve. However, these policies and decisions are often made without the input of people who have to navigate the systems we create. This can be especially true for children and families impacted by the current opioid crisis, especially those living in rural areas. This webinar will highlight several strategies to engage and work with people with lived experiences so that their voices are included as we seek to improve outcomes in the child welfare system.

The Role of the Nurse on the FTC Team and/or Child Welfare / SUD County Collaborative and/or Independent of Court Structure
2022-07-13 12:30 - 14:00
WEDNESDAY, JULY 13, 2022: 12:30-2:00 PM
THE ROLE OF THE NURSE ON THE FTC TEAM AND/OR CHILD
WELFARE / SUD COUNTY COLLABORATIVE AND/OR INDEPENDENT OF COURT STRUCTURE
Presenters
Diane Foley, Attorney for the Child
Alexis Sudilovsky, RN, BSN
Wendy Brown, RN
Mindy Thomas, Coordinator, Tompkins County Family Treatment Court
Renee Hallock, Associate Commissioner, Office of Children and Family Services
The nurse can be a tremendous asset to the Child Welfare / SUD Team. Nurses can help with the development and implementation of the Plan of Safe Care that is done in collaboration with the caregiver and child protective services when a child is born affected by substance abuse.
The nurse can also do assessments outside of court or with those not engaged in services to get them into detox, or inpatient/residential treatment. The nurse can help people get health insurance and referrals to Primary Care Physicians and Specialists. The nurse can sign off on the Taking Care of Me Milestones which is focused on participant’s health, dental and spiritual needs.
This session will focus on the role of the nurse, how the coordinator on the FTC team works with nurses, the benefits of nurses through the lens of the attorney and how nurses can be funded using Comprehensive Addiction and Recovery Act (CARA) grants.
