SUMMARY:Preparing Students for Careers: Apprenticeships - Passport to Careers State Conference 2020
DESCRIPTION:A lot of students plan on going to college after high school- but how many students do you know that have career goals that fit well with their interests and skillsets? Have you considered ALL options of how to be successful in that field? Do you have any students that are interested in being a doctor or nurse\, but can’t handle seeing blood? This workshop provides tools for taking steps to encourage your students to contextually and tangibly think about the realities of specific jobs\, as well as options for how to achieve career goals. Although college is the most chosen path after high school\, it may not always be the best option for people interested in certain career paths. Did you know that most trades jobs have apprenticeship programs that pay people to learn about and practice job skills- all without accruing any student debt? There are over 200 apprenticeship programs in Washington from Construction to Healthcare\, to Information Technology\, to Aerospace\, Early Childhood Education\, and much more! Come learn more about how to identify career options for students so that they can make an educated decision about choosing a career and how they want to accomplish their career goals. \nAttendees will learn how to effectively support students with identifying career paths and ways to become successful in those career paths. Attendees will also have information about apprenticeship options. \nPresented by Emily Stochel of ANEW.

SUMMARY:Introduction to Trauma-Informed Care - Passport to Careers State Conference 2020
DESCRIPTION:Research suggests that between 60-80% of the population experiences at least one traumatic event during their lives\, and prevalence of trauma is higher still for youth who have been homeless or involved in the foster care system. As communities respond to ongoing stress and potential traumas related to COVID-19 and its impacts\, trauma-informed care is increasingly relevant. By working from a trauma-informed perspective\, professionals can ensure that the services they provide are sensitive and relevant for trauma-affected individuals and communities. This workshop offers an introduction to trauma-informed care\, including definitions of acute and chronic trauma\, impacts on brain and behavior\, foundations of trauma-informed care\, and concrete strategies for professionals to provide sustainable and effective support within their roles. \nParticipants will learn definitions for acute and chronic trauma\, common impacts of trauma on brain and behavior\, foundations of trauma-informed care\, and concrete strategies to implement trauma-informed practices within their roles. \nPresented by Anna Scott and Sarah Odell of Southwest Youth & Family Services. \nWith over 23 years of combined experience working with diverse populations of youth and families in a variety of settings both in the USA and abroad\, Anna and Sarah’s past and present relationships with trauma-affected youth and families inform and shape their perspectives and presentation. While protecting client confidentiality is critical for all mental health professionals\, a primary tenet of trauma-informed care is empowerment\, voice\, and choice. Meeting trauma-affected individuals where they are\, respecting their right to make choices in their lives\, and empowering them to use their voices will be emphasized as essential parts of trauma-informed service provision.

SUMMARY:Adolescent2Adult: An Overview of Medicaid/Health Coverage for Alumni of Foster Care -  Passport to Careers State Conference 2020
DESCRIPTION:Coordinated Care’s Apple Health Core Connections is the Medicaid program that serves youth in foster care and alumni of foster care (ages 18-26). For youth not covered by AHCC\, the workshop will address how youth can enroll in Medicaid. As youth transition from adolescence to adulthood\, AHCC believes that youth and their advocates should know 3 key things: \n\nHow to access physical and behavioral health services\, and accessing services safely during the COVID-19 pandemic\nTheir health care rights (what is protected and how to access records)\, and\nWhat Medicaid covers (including dental\, vision\, reproductive health care\, transgender services\, prescriptions\, preventative care\, and urgent/emergent care).\n\nAt the end of the workshop\, attendees will be able to: \n\nIdentify who to call when a question around Medicaid coverage arises\nUnderstand youth rights to protect their health information and how to access their own records\nUnderstand the basics of what services Medicaid covers so they can better help a youth navigate the health care system\n\nThis presentation was designed specifically for youth who will be accessing their own healthcare as they enter adulthood. Young people attending this workshop will be given the opportunity to ask any questions they have\, as well as given contact information in the event they need to reach out on the future. \nPresented by Lindsey Greene of Coordinated Care.
