About this Resource:  In this on-demand recording, Dr. Raymond Kotwicki examines two ramifications of the worldwide Covid-19 pandemic. The first centers on individuals who directly contracted the virus and how it affects their own mental health. Preliminary data suggest that between 20% and 30% of people infected with Covid-19 will develop some mental illness within 90 days of infection. Such additional demand will place an even greater burden on an already-stressed mental health care system. The experience of addressing demand for evidence-based, timely and respectful mental health care at a private, non-profit residential and intensive out-patient treatment facility serves as a case example of the second, indirect impact of the pandemic. Efforts to continue serving patients in a safe way while managing personal lifestyle upheaval has taken its toll on many health care workers including mental health clinicians. Strategies to help create a safe and resilient workforce are offered.    About the Presenter:  Dr. Raymond Kotwicki is the Charles B. West Chief Medical Officer at Skyland Trail, a nationally acclaimed private, nonprofit residential and day treatment organization for adults and adolescents with mental illnesses in Atlanta, Georgia.

Dr. Kotwicki trained as a Department of Energy Fellow, and was a Medical Scholar at the University of Wisconsin Medical School. He had post-graduate training at Harvard Medical School, the Boston University School of Medicine, and Emory University, where he earned a Master in Public Health degree in Health Policy and Management. He remains an adjunctive Associate Professor at the Emory University School of Medicine.   Over his career, Dr. Kotwicki has presented over 350 invited lectures, symposia, and seminars to tens of thousands of attendees. He regularly appears on television, radio and in newspaper articles discussing issues related to mental health and integrated medical care.

Organizational well-being is often misunderstood as “self-care.” The COVID-19 pandemic has affected organizations and employees in myriad ways, prompting a renewed focus on the need for organizational structures, policies, and practices to support employee well-being. In particular, Black, Indigenous, and people of color (BIPOC) employees have been disproportionately affected by the pandemic, while also experiencing the impact of racial inequities in the workplace and larger society.   The New England Mental Health Technology Transfer Center has created this collection of resources to offer information, strategies, and practices to help behavioral health employers take steps to “fix the workplace” rather than “fixing the worker.” It is divided into four sections:   Understanding the Impact of COVID-19 on Workers and Organizations (p. 2) Organizational Strategies and Practices for Supporting Employee Well-Being in the Workplace (p. 5) Organizational Strategies and Practices for Supporting Employee Well-being: Resources Specific to Behavioral Health Organizations (p. 8) Organizational Strategies and Practices for Supporting Employee Well-being: Frameworks and Lessons Learned from Healthcare Settings (p. 12)     Are there resources you would like to see added to this list? Please let us know what information and resources your organization needs to better support employee well-being by emailing us at: [email protected].

  This webinar will review stressors that have been intensified due to the 2020 events. The webinar will al so identify stress management tools that can be used for school aged children and those who provide services to them in a school-based setting. Special considerations for Hispanic and Latino youth mental health will also be discussed. Learning objectives: 1. Discuss how 2020 stressors impact youth and family mental health. 2. Learn stress management tools that can be utilized in a school setting. 3. Identify basic cultural considerations for Hispanic and Latino youth and families.

  Hispanic youths are less likely to have access to mental health services and more likely to prematurely terminate services when they do engage in treatment. Common barriers to accessing mental health care include: (a) limited availability of linguistically appropriate services for Spanish-speaking children and families; (b) limited services available in rural areas; (c) lack of transportation to mental health facilities; (d) being under- or uninsured; (e) caregiver employment barriers (e.g., scheduled work hours, leave restrictions; and more recently (f) a global pandemic which has shut down most in-person mental health services for over a year. Telehealth (i.e., the use of interactive technologies such as videoconferencing via computer and/or tablet to deliver mental health services) is an alternative to office-based delivery of treatment which can address disparities in access to care. This introductory webinar will describe the state of the evidence for telehealth delivery of Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT) for underserved Hispanic youth, offer logistical and practical tips for getting started (e.g., equipment, procedures, documentation, ethical and safety considerations), and demonstrate culturally and linguistically tailored resources. Participants will also learn about challenges, facilitators, and special considerations for delivery of TF-CBT via telehealth with Hispanic youth before and during the COVID-19 global pandemic.   Learning objectives:    Describe the state of the evidence for telehealth delivery of Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT) for underserved Hispanic youth. Describe logistical and practical tips for implementing TF-CBT via telehealth (e.g., equipment, procedures, documentation, ethical and safety considerations). Describe culturally and linguistically tailored resources for implementing TF-CBT via telehealth. Describe challenges, facilitators, and special considerations for delivery of TF-CBT via telehealth with Hispanic youth before and during the COVID-19 global pandemic.

The "Connections We Need" session on April 16, 2021, served as a kick-off for a series of summer professional development opportunities led by youth that will help expanded learning opportunity programs and school staff, support them where they are, as they navigate the impacts from the pandemic, trauma, and interruption of their social emotional journey.   The event featured several speakers including 3 Washington students who shared not only the challenges they've experienced during the pandemic but ways they have been supporting one another and ways adults can support our youth during and after the global pandemic.   From participants: "Today's event spurs me on to have important conversations and to create community bridges for better connections." "I will share the recording with my staff so that they can hear from the young people and experience what a fully supportive interaction and embracing of social-emotional wellbeing looks and feels like." "It's helpful to hear from the students what their concerns were, what has been helpful for coping, and what is still needed." A Mindful State is a people-powered effort to provide help, offer hope and build resilience for all the people across Washington State — regardless of our beliefs, ethnicity, gender identity, political persuasion, sexual orientation, income-level or age.

    Hard copies of the toolkit are also available. If you'd prefer a hard copy, please reach out to us at [email protected]. Toolkit Description Providing physical or behavioral healthcare to others during the global health pandemic can lead to increased levels of stress, fear, anxiety, burnout, frustration, and other strong emotions. It is imperative that physical and behavioral healthcare providers recognize personal signs of mental fatigue, are given supports in their organization to ensure continued productivity and quality care, and are provided with tools to learn how to cope and build resilience.   This toolkit has been developed to encourage self-care and to assist in building resilience among physical and behavioral healthcare providers amidst the global health pandemic. It walks the reader through a case scenario of one rural primary care provider who learns to identify signs of common mental, emotional, and psychological concerns that have arisen because of the global health pandemic. Following the case presentation are strategies for developing a personal mental health and wellness plan as well as recommendations for the health systems who employ these essential, frontline workers. Organizations can and should consider adaptations to support their employees during the pandemic, and to follow.

Latino communities have been impacted by quarantine and social isolation measures. These measures protect against COVID-19, but in turn, are risk factors for the increase in intimate partner violence (IPV). This factsheet presents cultural factors that differentiate the experiences of Latinas going through IPV compared to women from other cultural groups. Some of the factors include; immigration status, threats of deportation, level of acculturation, and difficulties in seeking the necessary help due to the stigma about receiving mental health services. At the same time, resources are offered such as the Family Preparedness Plan and other web pages dedicated to increasing support for Hispanics and Latinos who go through IPV.
