ABOUT THE SERIES

 

The Northwest MHTTC is excited to collaborate with the Oregon Family Support Network to offer family support learning opportunities for crisis planning and family partner training.


Family Partner Orientation

Wraparound is a planning process to help youth and their families realize their hopes and dreams. This training will orient you to the family partner role within the Wraparound process. We will go over the 4 phases of Wraparound and how the Family Partner supports the family and team members through the Wraparound process and activities associated with Wraparound planning.

 

Family Led Crisis Planning

"Person and Family-Centered Planning” is not just a catchy new phrase in the mental health world for families. During this webinar we will highlight the importance of family members having active participation, and an active role, in the design of their mental health crisis plan. Together we will focus on how the family and youth perspective, lived experience, and culture can guide efficacious holistic crisis planning within all 12 life domains.


LEARNING OBJECTIVES

  • Understand mental health crisis planning from the Family Perspective.
  • Distinguish crisis stabilization versus crisis planning.
  • Navigate the paradigm shift from system led crisis planning to consumer led crisis planning.
  • Discuss crisis planning from a holistic view and how all life domains are incorporated.
  • Navigate strategies that assist in creating effective family crisis plans.
