Opportunities for Youth and Families Under the Affordable Care Act
The Affordable Care Act (ACA) significantly enhances access to health care, including prevention and treatment services for mental illness and substance use disorders. ACA has many provisions that will benefit individuals with mental illness and substance use disorders, many of which impact youth with serious emotional disturbances and their families. There have also been several changes over the past six months to the State Children Insurance Program (SCHIP). This presentation focused on the key provisions of ACA, the changes of SCHIP, and the impact on youth with serious emotional disturbances and their families.

Understanding the System of Care Implementation Self-Assessment Process
An early understanding of your community’s strengths, challenges, and technical assistance needs can significantly benefit your community’s success as a system of care. The TA Partnership piloted a community self-assessment tool to support newly funded communities. This approach follows a multifaceted discovery process. The tool aligns with the requirements outlined for the planning year of your Federal cooperative agreement. Lessons learned from prior system of care cohorts suggest that building a strong foundation in this first year is critical to successful system of care implementation throughout the life of this agreement and beyond. The assessment process can guide your community as it develops a tailored technical assistance plan to support a successful planning process in year one. This webinar helped new communities prepare to participate in the System of Care Implementation Self-Assessment process.

Assessing Community Readiness to Develop a System of Care
This Webinar described the concept of community readiness and how it can be measured using the Community Readiness Assessment Scale (CRAS). This instrument was developed using data from a national study funded by the Child, Adolescent and Family Branch of the Center for Mental Health Services at the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration. The study identified essential elements of a system of care. The CRAS assesses readiness, in a 30-40 minute session, as perceived by the leadership team, the community partners, and other stakeholders. The CRAS data can be used to develop a strategic plan, logic model, and to measure a site’s progress over time in system of care development.

The Dynamics of Having a Coordinated, Managed Provider Network in Systems of Care
Communities are often searching for strategies to sustain service delivery and providers beyond Federal funding. When thinking about Medicaid and private insurance, there is the need to consider how to coordinate the providers. Many communities struggle with coordinating those providers to meet the needs of youth and families. This Webinar demonstrated how communities have addressed some of these challenges and benefited from having a coordinated and managed provider network.

Embracing Conflict: An Opportunity for Growth
Are your system of care governance board meetings full of lively conversations? Does more discussion occur after the meeting or at the break of the meeting? Are decisions made in the hallway or parking lot? These situations could indicate issues of conflict, which are inherent in any system change work. Organizations and individuals come with different missions, values, cultures, and practices. This workshop focused on normalizing conflict and learning strategies for resolving conflict as it arises, and understanding the issue as it affects sustainability.

Tribal Communities: Creating the Foundations for Healthy Communities, Hopeful Children, and Better Tomorrows
Participants learned about the realities of American Indian and Alaska Native communities, which have the highest rates of suicide among youth ages 15–24 of any US population, twice as high as the national average for that age group. Presentations focused on how culturally driven tribal initiatives are helping create healthy communities, hopeful children, and a better tomorrow. The presenters discussed strategies for promoting behavioral and overall health for children, youth, families, and communities that integrate American Indian and Alaska Native traditions and cultures with mainstream interventions. These strategies are showing positive outcomes in tribal and community settings – reducing and preventing youth suicides and creating positive and healthy visions for children, families, and tribal communities.
