SUMMARY:Trauma-Informed & Culturally Responsive Care in Housing and Employment Services: Practical Approaches for FCS Providers
DESCRIPTION:Brought to you by HCA: \nWashington Health Care Authority (HCA) Foundational Community Supports (FCS) team in partnership with Rutgers School of Psychiatric Rehabilitation and Counseling Professions invite you to join us for the April Cultural Responsiveness series.  \nSupported Employment and Supportive Housing programs help people with severe mental health conditions (SMHCs) build stability\, purpose\, and connection in their communities. According to SAMHSA\, up to 98% of people with SMHCs experience one or more traumatic events during their lifetime. Providing trauma-informed services requires more than recognizing trauma responses\, it requires culturally attuned practices and service environments that promote dignity\, safety\, and belonging. \nThis 90 minute interactive learning community session looks at trauma-informed care in everyday practice and why cultural responsiveness is a necessary component of preventing re-traumatization. Using ideas from SAMHSA Trauma Informed Care TIP 57 manual\, Healing-Centered Engagement\, and the Sanctuary Model\, we will explore how programs and interactions can either increase safety or unintentionally recreate stress. Participants will learn practical ways to build collaboration\, attend to trauma responses\, and support progress within a culturally responsive framework. \nObjectives:\n\nDefine trauma and recognize trauma responses within Supported Employment and Supportive Housing services.\nExplain how culture\, identity\, and systemic oppression influence safety\, trust\, and service engagement.\n\nApply trauma-informed and culturally attuned strategies that increase collaboration\, autonomy\, and participation in FCS services.

SUMMARY:FCS Presents: Supportive Housing Monthly Topical
DESCRIPTION:Details\nMany people believe that getting a person into SUD treatment is the most important step in their recovery process. While all steps are important\, what happens when someone exits treatment (or incarceration) can make a much bigger difference in the long term. The connections\, support\, and accountability a person receives in a quality recovery home can be the game-changer for long-term recovery and with treatment programs. A growing body of research tells us that recovery housing residents are more likely to stay sober\, gain employment\, stay out of the legal system\, rebuild family relationships\, and engage in their communities; no matter how we measure success in holistic recovery\, a healthy\, supportive\, and accountable community provides the best environment for success. Not all recovery homes are the same. There are multiple levels of support\, varying recovery philosophies\, and endless environment options in the recovery housing world. We will describe the Oxford House model in detail and compare it with other recovery housing models available in the state. We will also offer suggestions on how to help people find the best fit for their current recovery situations and engage with audience members about their experiences in and around recovery housing. \nPresentation Objectives: \n1. To discuss the effectiveness of community/court engagement in the recovery housing setting to significantly improve the long-term success of people in recovery\n2. To describe the Oxford House model of recovery housing and why it is growing so rapidly in our region\n3. To describe WAQRR recovery housing models that offer higher levels of care\n4. To explore the best ways to help someone find the best recovery home for them \nSpeakers (3)\nMaxwell-Rychart\, Heather (HCA)\nRecovery Residences/Oxford House Program manager \nGuest Speaker\nExecutive Director \nGuest Speaker\nSenior Outreach Coordinator \nRegister\nThu\, Apr 30\n8:30 AM – 10:00 AM PDT\nOnline event \n“Therapeutic Court Association of Washington is sharing this event for informational purposes only and is not affiliated with\, endorsing\, or sponsoring the event.”
