Event ID: 1334706 Event Started: 4/22/2009 7:00:00 PM ---------- >> Please standby for real time captioned text. >> Hello, everyone. I see that people are still dialing in. I will wait a the minutes. We will get started shortly. >> I see that a number of people have not hooked up to the conference call yet. If you have not and you are looking at the right hand corner of the closed captioning, please do dial in. You sure telephone to access this, not the computer speakers. The directions on how to do that are in the chat function above. Thanks, everyone. We will get started in another minute. >> All right. Let's go ahead and get started. Hello, everyone and welcome to today's webinar, Mental Health Month: Activities and Tools for DPNs. We are glad that you are Tran as today. My name is Miranda Kennedy and I am with NDI Incorporated--I will be serving as the host and also as one of the presenters Today. The purpose is to provide navigators with tools that you can use and activities you can host and participate in during the month of May to build awareness around mental health issues. I will be discussing more about that in just a minute as we move into our presentation. Before we get started I need to address a few logistical details with the webinar platform we are using. If you have any documents open or your outlook or e-mail, I recommend you close this application. This will help present a delay in the way you see the webinar in the screen in front of you. If your computer has other applications open it can take memory and slow down the way that use the information we are presenting. If your computer is older and does not have them lot of memory to begin with, you will see slight delays with the sides in front of you and what we are talking about. If you have any technical difficulties at any time during the webinar call us at 866-863-3904. Again, that is 866-863-3904. Also, you will note in the right hand lower part of your screen that we have closed captioning available for participants that are deaf or hard of hearing or where English is the second language. You can close that down if you do not want to see the screen by minimizing that window or you can make the closed captioning window bigger by minimizing the windows above it like the chat screen or the participants are Q&A. When we leave the Powerpoint to share applications on Toni at the desktop, you'll see the closed captioning on the right-hand side of the screen. This webinar is being recorded and will be posted once the series is completed at the end of May on the DPNavigator.net training page. We will have the transcript and Powerpoint from today's webinar posted to that as well probably, you all received the update letting you know that these materials were available prior to today I could training from WebEx. We will be implementing that as a practice going forward. If you had any difficulty with downloading the information, shoot me an e-mail. We will be doing a file transfer at the end of the webinar to share materials recovered today. You can pull that strayed off of your screen and download it onto the desktop. That might be easier. The archive information from today will be sent out on the One-Stop tool kit Listserv Tamara. Now, I would like to tell you about our expert guest presenters. They will be joining me today on the call. Many of you are already familiar with Toni Costales-Servin and Kevin Nickerson. For those of you that are not, Toni is a Route one Navigator from California and Kevin is from New York. Over their many credentials over the careers as toes, they formed a Partners many years ago with developing 30 second training which will tell you a little bit more about coming up here soon if you have not heard about them already. We are pleased to have them with us today and will see the fruits of their label until Labor that they have been working on. So, our agenda for the next hour and a have, provide a overview of what Mental Health Month is the market to capitalize on it. We will discuss the series and how it did toes can effectively utilize that in their area and share a package of 30-Second mental health training that the brokerage has been developing for the Navigators to use across the country this month. Finally, we will be opening up for questions and comments at the end. We hope you will give us some ideas and share some related activities that you are working on in your local area today. With that, what is Mental Health Month? Simply put the purpose of the Mental Health Month is to put a focus on mental health and build awareness around the aspects of mental health. It is pretty impressive to realize that progress develop the designation for this month more than 50 years ago. I put my research that you might want to check out, Mental Health America is launching the Live Your Life Well campaign in honor of Mental Health Month this year. There are some good activities that focus on mental health on this side with the specific tools that are meant to here include strategies, how to stay positive, staying physically active to boost your mood, helping others by doing good to feel good. Those are just a few. I encourage you to check out these link and consider printing and office. Share it with your One-Stop staff and partners this month. It might seem basic but is good to include as part of our self care and is important for those of you Navigators out their back and your staff and partners that are experiencing extreme circumstances from the current economic crisis and the impact is having on the number of job-seekerses in the One-Stop Centers. You see the first of the two part mental health series that will be having in May . Part one is mental health and awareness, Resources for employers. We have made guest presenter. She is Calire Miller. You might have heard about this presentation from all of your project leads. She presented on the administrative call earlier this month. People found it very interesting, helpful and useful information. We are making that information available to the addictive and adjusting it to provide more information and resources that were provided to the DPN Project lead. Many of you have already registered. The link is down here and you should have seen it in your Listserv. Get signed up for that. The second training is collaboration in action, the One-Stop mental health agencies. That is presented by Sheila Cuomo and Larry Abramson. They have formed an excellent partnership and will be discussing what that chip under partnership looks like. Sheila is an expert in the mental health field. They have done some great work. You can see what another DPN project has been in terms of [ indiscernible ] job seekers to our dealing with mental health issues and helping them maintain employment. There is the link down there and the date is May 27. We encourage you to sign up for that as well. What you can do to maximize on those two webinar presentations, we have not limited number of slots for these but have not met lot of strategies. If you register your own self on that line, we encourage you to schedule a Koch Conference Room. Get on speaker phone and get your staff and Partners to attend that with few. You can use it as a great jumping off point for discussions at the local level. We encourage you to do that. If you are not able to register for 866-863-3904 one of the sessions because it is full, the great thing is you can access the archive. We will be sending that out. You can use that and schedule the meeting when everyone during the month of may. You can do it whenever. We really want to give you that opportunity and encourage you to use these as the start of a Good discussion. All right. So, moving forward, we want to talk about reviewing the mental health 30 second Training package. Kevin and Toni will stay on and go through that. This mental health package that we will be reviewing was developed by the 30 second Training record numbers that met in December, January, February and March and develop them lot of different training, not just training for Mental Health Month but have developed on specific package of . There are five although more than five were developed. All of the training, whether for Mental Health Month or any of the other training that have been developed that are being reviewed and will be posted on the DPNavigator.net site in the future, we will be advertising that in our Listserv and encouraging you to go there, we want to give great credit to the people using listed on the sly in front of you. Toni and Kevin led the group with their great expertise. They really pioneered the way. These and other worker members that use the in front of us participated heavily and really contributed to creating these great packages of training. We applaud all of them in their efforts. Every one on this call and other Navigators listen to it once archive will benefit from the work from this group. I will hand it over to Toni. Toni, I am passing the ball. She will share with us a reminder of what the 30-second training is and the purpose of it. For those of you that might not be familiar with it or those of you that are, it is a good reminder. I will let you take it away, Toni. >> Thank you, Miranda. Good afternoon, to everyone. I just wanted to remind everyone that the purpose behind the 30-second training is that we keep it quick, a Fund par putt slide that be electronically sent out so that we are able to reach more people this way. A lot of Navigators have a large area to serve the purpose is a great work underway to serve your staff. We, again, want to keep it short, hence the 30-second training and provide disability and employment information, usually with a Resource link for those that are interested in preserving and enhancing their knowledge. It is the last page that we at a link that is nationally recognized for more information for those that have the time to look into it further. >> Do we go to the next slide, Miranda? >> I will go ahead and take the ball back from you. There you go. >> Sorry. I did not realize-okay. Again, the purpose of the 30-second training is designed to be short, easy and fun. We like to keep timber in as well as making sure that the answers-it is not a test. We do not want people to feel like they are tested. They are there to provide information and knowledge in - -Should only take 30 seconds to review. Day include national, rebelled resource for follow up information. I think that was the end of that, Miranda. >> We will pass the ball over to Kevin. He will be revealing the actual package with us. Kevin, the floor is your. >> Awesome. I get the fun part, which is to rebuild the trainings. What is most exciting about the trainings is that we all get to use them in an effort to gather and send these out and show off our work together. I will start off and show these to you in Order. If I could get some assistance from Toni and Miranda, this would be great. This is all about Mental Health Month. I will go slide by slide and get help from you and guess what we think the answers are. This is what they will look like when they get sent out. There are some little details if you see a pointer that I have here off to the left, it shows an image that will not be there when these are turned into shows, which we will explain later. This is what the package is actually going to look like. This is the first one that will be sent out. What is Mental Health Month? Mental Health Month was created more than 50 years ago to raise awareness of mental health conditions and the importance of mental health. People will see these arrows. Click on them to go forward. They will be laid out in a similar fashion. May as Mental Health Month. Was enacted by Congress? I know these are difficult choices, but, Toni, I will start with you. Give me a gets on these. >> I am going to guess 3491 BC. >> That was a ninth attempt, Toni. We were working on other things at that time in our history. I appreciate that, really. Miranda, maybe you can give us a guess here. >> 196380. That sounds like a happening year. >> Sorry. That was close to. I hate to put you on the spot, but how did you do with math, Miranda? >> I did not do good, apparently. Not my best subject. >> It gives us a little hint. We gave people a with little hint. Let's try the next one. Let me get rid of the pointer. It was 1949. People will get the message at the end that May was officially recognized as Mental Health Month since enacted by Congress in 1949 and for information regarding this important Act and more information about mental health issues click here, here for Mental Health America and [ indiscernible ]. They are all links which are hyperlinks which means that they detected click on and it takes them right to that page to discover more about these topics. Done here it says the thank you from your DPN and all of that. We will talk to you about how to make these your own. That is the first training that will introduce this whole package, which we are excited about to introduce Mental Health Month. I will move onto the next one. If people have questions along the way, they can raise their hand. I do not know if we explained that, but over to the right, there is something that says to raise hand. That is how you do it. The next training is on a new batch it was numbing new topic [ indiscernible ]. What is compassion fatigue? It is a physical or emotional exhaustion that causes a declined in numbers and's ability to feel compassion for others. Examples of people at risk are counselors, mental health professional, medical professionals, at the kids and all of the work in the Human Services field. It seems like a good training for us to target to the people we work with. Over time compassion fatigue leads to a person becoming emotionally drained and little to give to others. We have gotten them little of information about it. The question is what can someone do to relieve compassion fatigue. You will receive three options. Remember what Toni said. These are not tests but more of a boost to our knowledge about these issues. Having said that, I will take on Miranda, again and see if you can give me a guess of what you think the right answer is. >> I am thinking of the they all the time, self medicating. That is a great way to deal with compassion fatigue. >> I like the way she thinks. I will meet you at 4:00. No. I do not think so. It is important to focus on yourself and come out negative addiction such as nicotine, alcohol and caffeine. No vices. Toni, why don't you go. >> Chocolate would go too. >> What do you think, Toni. >> It is not self medicating it will have to be working on lot harder. >> Working through lunch by accomplishing more will restate--that is what you are thinking? >> Has to be. >> That is something that you would do. >> That is not get. As you can see there is not picture of Toni in the upper corner passed out on her laptop. That is not. No one was harmed in the taking of these pictures. >> Is the copy in backup. >> Apparently so. Did not take her own advice. >> Compassion fatigue happens from doing just these things. Your focus gets completely away from you and is directed on ways to help others. It is difficult to help others when you can or do not help yourself. Let's see if there is a better answer. I get the easy one that is left. Take my vacation and get plenty of rest and cut and negative addictions. Participate in activities that make you happy. That sounds good to me. That is correct. At the top is as I knew you would get it right. We want to make that big and bold to let people know they got it right back and give them more information. This says is important to have balanced in your life and be sure there is a part of your life that you are seeking rather than giving. The sooner you have positives and develop a plan to put you first and focus on youth that will allow you to perform better and have not better relationship with others in your life. We have given a link. This is for more information, go to and have the compassion fatigue website. It is a very nice feeling. That will be numbered two in our series and probably comes at a good time given how people are busy these days. Let's see what is next. >> Kevin, do we want to open it up and put on some people? >> I would never want to do that, Miranda. I think people would be way too shy to do that. >> Not our Navigators. >> This one is all about children and adolescents and mental health issues. I will read it first and see about that. Children and adolescents can have serious mental health issues. Like adults, children and adolescents can have mental health disorders that interfere with the way they think, feel and act. When untreaded mental health disorders can lead to school failure, and the conflict, drug abuse, violence and even suicide. I hope you are all listening. Here is the question. We will do this, Miranda. I will ask this question Pergolesi if there are any brave souls that dared to raise their hand other than the other I see raised and has been raised for a long time over here. >> I think, Pat, you look like you are not unhappy volunteer. Let me read the question first. Which of the following is often on warning sign of a mental health issued in and adolescent? Now, look at the hands fly. Let's pick on Debra. >> I will get 18 per line. >> I would say all of the above. >> Debra, you are going to say all of the above? Are you sure? Have you given enough thought to this? >> Maybe you should read the options to her. >> Debra, I am sorry. You got it right the first time. You did show off. That is right. Let's go back for the people who are not as smart as Debra. That did not work out well. You are supposed to pick the wrong answer. Did you see how we were doing as? >> I did but fell back late so I thought I would. >> Thanks for being so brave. That is correct. Let's go through some of the wrong ones. Give me a wrong one. >> Very A. Most of the time, a lot or over reacting to things. >> I'd like that. >> This says that we are on the right track but not there. It does not say you are wrong. Most feelings of anger are a normal reaction to a situation beyond our control. However, it is constant and a source cannot be identified, it might be a more serious mental health issue. I will not ask you to tell me them, but unable to get over the loss or death of someone. This is, again, not the right one. People Express' to grieve differently. There is no timetable for bereavement or it intensity. It is important to help people connect with a mental health Professional or their physician. All good pieces of advice. Finally, there is another one here, often expresses feelings of worthlessness, guilt or anxiety. This one says to look out for ongoing [ indiscernible ] of worthlessness. Signs of depression and might stand in the way. You are not superstar on this one. You got it right back first. We did not make it too hard on you, did? >> No. >> That was good? >> That was good. >> We appreciate you volunteering today. The right answer is that mental health disorders are more common than people realize. One in five children have a mental health disorder. I was blown away by that. For more information contact the [ indiscernible ]. We have given a website here to give more research and a her phone number. Great training program trading. Well done. We have two more. >> Before we move on to move forward, where are you calling in from today, Debra? >> Franklin County at the One-Stop. >> What state? >> Columbus Ohio. >> Thanks for calling in. We are going to call on a couple of other people. >> That is .4 Ohio, not that we are keeping track. We are going to go through all. We have five. We will talk about why we have five. There is a method. Let's move forward with this one. This says, where can someone obtain information and insight on posttraumatic stress disorder? Before I go any further, let me mention something else that these training class, some of them, not all of them, have sound. That was that little image that you saw. And some of them have sounds that you will not see on today's webinar. Again, where can someone obtain information and insight on posttraumatic stress disorder. Let's see if we have volunteers over here. >> Let's call on Jill Robinson. Jill drop off. Let's call on Crystal McRiver. I will take you live off of mute. >> I will say to take an online course speed and where are you from, Crystal? I am up from Raleigh, North Carolina. >> I could not tell. There was not little accent. It says the National Center through the U.S. permit of Veterans Affairs offers a course that you can download and you at your convenience. Is is to click here to be corrected directed to the site. Does anyone else want to take a guess? Did not make us pick one. >> Let's unmute Karen's line. Where are you calling in? >> South Dakota? Can you speak of just a and Little? >> Karen-- >> [ Audio/Speaker not clear]. >> Are you sure it is that one? Have you given them lot of thought to that? The veteran service representative would become great resource for the best-click here. Not only does it tell you that that is a great resource but where to find them. Very nice to. I will keep you on the line, Karen and have you guess again. >> Schedule a meeting with the voc rehab counsellor. >> This is a good idea to know your VR Staff. Networking is vital. They have a what of information that our great resources and schmoozing. By the way, those hands actually shake. There are a lot of these features that you are not seeing in action here Today. I will let you off the hook, Karen. You get points for your state. >> To do we have, we will call on Trina. Where are you calling in from today? >> Michigan. >> All right. Well, Trina, what do you think? >> I think talking to a mental health Professional is not great idea. >> I think you are getting the idea here. It is a great resource and find opportunities to pick their brains. Am I a local mental health Professional to speak to your staff. Check with the professionals at the Job accommodation Network does-that means that is an active hyperlink. That is cool. You can click there. This is regarding job accommodations for those with post traumatic stress disorder. We will go back one more time. Trina, as long as you are there, I am guessing which appeared that last one. >> I think that is a good idea. >> All right. We will make note of you calling in too. Congratulations. Teeth and Trent take time to follow up on one of the suggestions made. This was kind of cool. It provides a different thought on how to make these trainings and out of this work group I would say that Toni and I really enjoyed seeing the different methods that people came up with to make these happen. They were all kind of right. What we are hoping that people look through all of the ones individually, to give these options. We have one more here that we have time to look. They all started off with the screen that says good afternoon. This is your 30-second training with a box that lets us go to the next step. You are seeing little image on the left that shows that this has music. By the way, throughout this process of making these trainings, we advanced the ideas and ways we did this as an created a review committee where people spent even more time not only creating but reviewing these products to really help finalize them. The review committee came up with a lot of these sounds that you will hear when you download them. I will move into this next light. A New customer Service employee [ indiscernible ] has asked for accommodations to help with memory deficit. Which set of accommodations would best fit her circumstances? I will give you a second to read those. Are want to see a lot more hands coming of here. >> I think we should call on Pat. >> Pat had the hand up. >> Pat has to be tired. I will unmute your line, Pat. If you tell us where you are calling in From today's-- >> Are you speaking to me? >> If this is Pat? >> Yes, it is. >> Where are you calling in from, Pat? >> Indiana. >> You get points for the longest hand in the air today. >> I did not realize that. I am just sitting here. I am sorry. >> You are an added burden volunteer? >> Yes. >> As a result of that, we are calling on you now. >> All right. >> To be picked on you, Pat? >> The unexpected volunteer, those are the best. Can you tell us after you look at the question and some of these answers, what you think you would pick? >> I would probably pick the third one. >> The third sets to provide constant praise and reinforcement, lobbyist if needed, refer to counseling or employee assistance programs, allow telephone calls to doctors for needed support. Let's see what that comes up as. >> I did not get it. >> That is okay, Pat. You get the points for the hand raising thing. This is close but not quite right purpose is not the best answer. Please try again. We have given information, which is now one of the improvements over the years. We still give the information on the size even if it is not quite right. These accommodations will go a long way with helping all of the emotions that go with accepting a new job. They will not help but come into systems with processing Information and remembering simple tasks. That was good. We appreciate that. I will let you off the hook for now. How is that? >> I think that is wise. >> [ LAUGHING ]. You are a good sport, Pat. Who else do we have out there? >> I am looking at William Larsen. >> We did not call on William. >> I have an inside track on this. >> I think what it wants to answer. >> Are you out there one. >> Yes. I am from Oregon. >> Thanks for joining. >> I would say number two. >> All right. Williams says he thinks the answer is to allow the employee to tape record meetings and provide written job instructions and checklists, allow additional training time. I think that is a predicted to rise. William, you had to much time to think about this. You got it right. Give yourself a pat on the back and it would be even more funny if it was her Pat on the line. It would all help the top performance of an employee who was having difficulty experience and are retaining information, the symptoms of schizophrenia. For more information about this disorder and other mental health and permits, click here. That means that it is a hyperlink. I look back and William, stick with me. I know you knew the right answer. We are going to try this other one, which was the top one, the last one. The last option was to educate all employees on their right to accommodations, provide sensitivity training to coworkers and limit non work-related conversations. Good luck with that one. Could try but please try again. This answer, again, is not the best choice. All of these would greatly improve an employee's please ship with co-workers but not remembering assignments, meetings, deadlines are maintaining overall organization. Now, that was a real quick look at what these trainings look like. Any thoughts or comments on these? Before we move on? Thanks, Pat, we can put you back on at Mental Health Month and William. >> I think Pat had herself [ indiscernible ]. >> Www.a pat on the back. Any thoughts from anybody? Let's try this. If your hand is raised, I will pick on you because you have never thought or comment about the trainings. >> For those of you that raised your hand earlier, you can lower it. We hope you do want to contribute. Joe Key is raising his hand. I will take on new. >> Hi, how are you? >> Good. How are you? Where are you calling from, Phoenix, Ariz.. >> What do you have to say about the trainings? >> They are excellent. The wording is mixed up and they are very detailed. There are some close ended and open ended questions and they make you think. >> I like that response, Joe. We like Joe and we will give him a prize at the end of this training. We appreciate that comment. >> Thank you. To see how great it is, you will want to encourage people. I know that Kevin and Toni encourage people and others who have worked on this are encouraging people to click on the wrong answers. You can see that there can be a wealth of information on those wrong answers. They are kind of funny, clothes but no cigar and here is additional information. It can continue to provide people with a little bit of additional information to really help cement what we are trying to do here. >> I would like to ask people, Miranda, if there are any people on the call who are seeing these for the first time or has not use them in their area. I am curious if you raise your hand if this is the first time at the trainings. It sounds like it was Joe's first time. That is pretty neat. There are others raising their hand. These are really catching on. I can tell you that in the areas that we have used them, they have been received quite positively. If we think the same will happen in your area, which is why all of the effort went into making these. You can use them in your local areas. I think if we have any other comments before we move on, we have time for that. >> I see people lowering their hands. The other thing I want to at is that we will open the line for comments now, but we will let you process this information a the little bit. Toni is walking through and showing how to make these your own and we will open the line at the end to talk about the trainings in general and how to use them best and, additionally, how to access the webinars and what you are doing in your area in May . I will call aren't Lee. I know where Lee is calling from. >> Today it is 8 degrees. Tomorrow is 45. I want to say that for someone who did not have a lot of technical knowledge that it helped me to do Powerpoint. If anyone has the opportunity, maybe something will be done for gap October, I encourage people to get on board. I now build power points. I'd like to say hi to Lynn. We work on this group A. If she has any comments, please. I enjoyed it and encourage other people if they want to do something like this, to get on board. >> Not to mention that we have not been great time with the worker, didn't we, Lee? >> Yeah. >> Which is it that it takes 30 seconds to build a 30-second training? >> No, especially for me. I put them lot of work into it. Like I said, it was a learning experience in building the Powerpoint. There was some good instruction. I followed that. That help me a lot. It took a while. >> The great thing is that we have archives on some of the information, the 30-second training work group that we did. Well, the presentation we did back in October of last year. That is on the training page of the DPNavigator.net website. You can access those other 30-second trainings. Thank you for speaking up, Lee. We have such membership on these were groups developing these trainings and some other ones. Some are in the review process. Buzz will be sent out and we will be advertising knows. We hope that those of you on the call, if you have not seen the mental health package or this is the first time with the 30-second training, embrace them and use them in your local areas. We will forward it to the next slide, Kevin. >> Thank you. >> I will take the ball back from you and find our place here. Toni will be doing the step by step process here in a second. I will add that we want to do a coordinated effort when we talk about the order in where to send the trackings out. Hopefully you have downloaded these with the material's for Today's call. We are hoping to have the strength let's go out every Friday morning in the month of May . We pick Friday. They sent them out on Friday because he wanted to be fun, you do not want it to be a Monday morning and are stressed out because you are asked to do a training and I have to prove that I am smart. >> It is when people are in a good mood and are already partly checked out. It is something they will open and have fun West and not be so serious on a Monday when you are coming in and thinking about all of the things that you have to do. That is something that Toni and I thought made them appealing on at a Friday. >> Exactly. The information might be [ indiscernible ] when people are not overwhelmed. We are encouraging all Navigators to set these out Friday morning to their Listserv. I will handle the ball, Toni. We need to explain to people, how do they make these their own? We want to let you know that these were created by the Navigators. They are not copyright to. They are owned by all of us. You can utilize these at your own, put your own information. Toni will talk about the disclaimer at the bottom to give the credit to the Navigator initiative. I have given you the ball, Toni, if you could go up to share and hit desktop. >> Or, you could show them this, too. >> I am sorry that, Miranda. We are doing the making them you're on? >> Yes. Exactly. >> I am not all here, right now. >> We have this available and will go over it again, at Miranda was trying to get me to do. >> Toni is showing us that there is an a document. She is showing you how to do this. We have it documented for you. Sit back and relax and see how Toni is showing you how to do it and know that there is number three source for you on the call that you can go through step-by-step. You can put your pens and paper down. >> The first thing we will do is when you receive your Powerpoint, they will always be in the presentation form where you see the slides over here on the side. You will save your Powerpoint, file, save it to wherever it is that you would like to save your Powerpoint. Again, at the bottom where is says save type, you will save it as the presentation. I saved this to my desktop. Once we do that, we will come to the last slide where your name and contact information will be. We will highlight the area that we are changing. It is usually on all of the Powerpoints. You will see bold bid where you see the information. Let's go ahead and put in the information. We will take away the parentheses. We will answer to our telephone number. Our TTY numbers, if you have a TTY number, you will enter that TTY number. If you do not, you will use the relay System in your area. We will use the 711. I put in my TTY number. If your number, for instance, your extension is longer, you are able to go ahead and move that. You are able to do that. The California relay, if you do not have a TTY number, I am sorry, not the California relay, but the relay in general, you would put that in there. We are going to add our e-mail address to make sure that anyone who is interested in receiving these or has comments, they are able to get hold of you. Then, we will come back up and say it as a show form so when you are sending it out, it will open up automatically as a show form and they will not have to see-Listserv will not have to see all of the other information you have here. We will save as and save wherever you saved your Powerpoint. Then, save as type and scroll down until you see the Powerpoint show. Push save. You have is saved and is automatically comes up as your show. >> Can you also show as the little disclaimer on the bottom? >> Yes. I am sorry. >> Again, thank you, Miranda. We want to remind everyone that this was a collaborative effort and we encourage everyone to utilize these as their own. We keep this statement than here at the bottom, the 30-second training and DPN programs are a collaborative effort. Please contact your local VR at a friend or colleague to the list. Week, again, encourage everyone to use them. Please put your information day there and send them out as your own. Should we go back to-- >> Just go up and exit the desktop sharing button. All right. Everyone should see the 30-second training, making them your own document in front of you. Do you see that? >> Yeah. I wanted to mention about scrolling down so that everyone can see if it. >> In order to see the bottom half of the first page, you are all capable of scrolling down using the scroll bar. >> Thanks, Kevin. There is a second page that details what Toni just told us. If you forgot one of those steps, if you are fairly new to Powerpoint, like Lee, it should be self-explanatory. If not, contact one of us and we can help you with that. Any other comments you want to make about making these your own, Toni? >> No. Just enjoy them and enjoy the comments you receive back from them. >> All right. We will go ahead and take us back to our regularly scheduled Powerpoint. There you go. Okay. All right. We want to also draw your attention to the fact that not only the 30-second training mental health training instructions were attached in addition to the 30-second training mental health package a trigamy as question about mental health that has been updated with new resources as of January of 2009. We are providing a quite bit of resources and information in addition to those that-All together they can augment one another and really build some information into your staff, partners, in a fun and diverse way. We cannot get enough credit and thanks to the workers that gave the training's such as Kevin and Toni for leading the charge. It takes a lot more than 30 seconds to build a 30-second training. They are very polished and professional and fun at the same time. It is an interesting balance to try to strike strike. I think we have struck it. We would like to hear from people. I will open up the line here in a second for questions and comments. If you have any questions about coordinating webinar presentations for your staff and partners or using the 30-second training, and what we would like to hear from people are what other activities are you planning for May to support mental health awareness? I see that either Pat's hand is still up or is up again. I will call on Pat. Pat, I am placing your line on unmute. >> It says space hand Wright here. I am sorry that we are not communicating well. We have this new webinar platform. The hand logging and grazing can be challenging. Do you have any comments? >> The contents is back to the schizophrenia when you called upon me. We have someone in our family who is schizophrenic. I chose the wrong one knowing better. It is better to know all of the answers and maybe, to back some way, each of those answers would help someone. >> Absolutely. >> Kevin, do you want to comment on that? >> I absolutely do. I am here to give people a hard time. I hope you know that. I thought you probably know and then do the right answer. I did give you extra points for that. >> This being an alert thing, I need to work on that. >> You need to work on clicking on the lower your hand button. >> It is Right now. >> Click on edit. >> Sometimes we have a ghost here. Thank you, Pat for speaking up against the back of course. >> I will open the lined. I see it that Debra has a question or comment. >> I will do a post dramatic stress disorder in May along with some other mental health issues. That is something that a lot of people here have questions about. I think it will benefit all of us. I will do that on May eighth. I will have a representative from the VA. >> Can you tell us more about that? Who will be at in attendance? >> That will be the partners here and some customers who said they had some questions either with family members and so forth. We are working that out on whether we will have other people come. We have a training last week on absolute and epilepsy [ indiscernible ] they came to the training and asked some really meaningful questions that help all of us think about other questions they would like to ask. I think that was helpful in having people [ indiscernible ]. It was touchy depending on what the subject matter is. If they are okay and was their idea and they would fight to be there, it is something to be considered. >> Absolutely. It sounds like you are doing some great work in your area, Debra. I would recommend if you are doing a training but you would want to use the veteran's 30-second training training as you are doing an invitation or reminding people. >> I thought of that when I saw that. >> Absence of. That can be a good way to pick their interest and give them something and get them entry to come to your training. The other thing that sometimes works is to do it as a follow-up after you have done your presentation. Also, Kevin and Toni, we have worked on a number of other topics. Do we have a [ indiscernible ] one? >> Toni, where are we at with that one? I think we have one in the hopper. >> I am sorry? >> The traumatic brain injury 30-second training training. Were we still did not? >> Yeah, we are still doing that. >> I will look forward to that. We have had a number of people come through on that. I am working with someone now and have been reading up on that. She is just an awesome woman and was in the school and had graduated and was in an accident and has gone back and gotten them couple of more degrees. She said it was harder doing it and took longer. She is having a hard time finding a job. We are starting now to pull out the resources and try to make that happen. She is such an awesome person. I like her so much. >> It is part of the mental health package that we have. It will be a part of that. >> Great. >> Is not part of the five that we are encouraging people to use during the -month-old of May . It is in the review committee process and being polished up. We want to make sure we are reaching a certain caliber with the trainings and what we are sending out. We welcome feedback on to anies that are going out there and comments that you will receive when using these in your areas. We think is a great way, it in a brief period of time, we know the denies that partners are busy. If you can wrap 30 seconds of their time and give them a little bit of information to stay on their radar and keep the concept of serving job seekers the in facilities and how to do that effectively and what some great resources are, it would be the 30 second Trainings that are wonderful in that regard. I see that Maria has raised her hand. I will go ahead and unmute Maria's line and call on Trina afterward. >> We have Maria from Texas. >> No, from New York. >> [ OVERLAPPING SPEAKERS ]. >> You were asking about what the different DPNs were doing in their region purpose is not technically in the month of May , but the last month and they of April we are having our county's mental health agency to come in and Do a Kevin the staff with the various agencies that participated in the Standings on the services that they provide in anticipation of May so that people can have more awareness mental health May officially starts. I tried to do that before, it is a pre-emptive strike. >> That is a wonderful idea. Are you encouraging these same people to attend or participate on the other two webinars? >> I will try. Part of the problem is that I will be away for part of May . >> What might work for you since you might not be around during those states, and you can access it at a future point if you want to draw some of those partnerses together and access the archive of either of those two presentations. You can have a working lunch when people are working they can watch the webinar and afterwards have a discussion about it and what you want to do moving forward. That is the one rating of not having access to the archives. We have seen that probably about as many people access the archives as access the light trading. We are wondering if that might have bashed we have Guam coming on board. It is 4:00 to back the morning in Guam. They might have to access the archive, for instance. Also for those of you that have other duties that call you away or other conflicting things that are happening on your schedule, the great thing about these trainings is that we do archive them and you can look at them at any time. >> That sounds like a great plan. I am looking to do that myself since I will not be here for part of May . >> Made during the Q&A session you might want to--It is not bring the live presentation. That might be the point at which you cut off the presentation and have your own Q&A. If you have experts at the table, they can address whatever questions you might have and also contact the presenters of whatever training with any follow up questions and get back to the people that were present. That is nice because as a Navigator [ indiscernible ] following up on whatever questions. >> In relation to your questions, we have a program, the community reentry program. They work with individuals who have had a TBI of some sort, stroke, vehicular collision or whatever. They do specific rehabilitation programming and will do a presentation in Jim. >> That is wonderful. >> There is a whole bunch of trading set up through August. I am looking forward to some of the things that people are coming in and talking about. >> That is wonderful, Maria, hopefully we will have the DPN 30-second training training polished and ready when people come for the training in Jim. >> That is a great idea. >> Or as a follow up afterward. >> Either way. >> If we did not get through, if the review committee does not finish with that, even if it were a week or month later, it would be a Nice follow up. >> The training I am doing is the last Thursday of the month. It gives you some time. >> There you go. Thank you. >> Thanks for contending, Maria and good luck with the training. >> Thank you. >> Let's call on Trina. I will not presume to know where you are calling in from. Tell us where you're calling from. >> Michigan. >> Michigan. >> Yeah. Grand Rapids, Michigan. >> All right. >> I want to say thank you for this webinar. It has been wonderful. I think the strength labs are beautiful. They are professional and will be real educational for people. Locally, what we are doing, at least throughout the state in Michigan is we have on a weekly basis sharing the 30-second trainings that we have come up with as Navigators and sharing them with our One-Stops. I look forward to sharing these and also the archive ones. >> Are you still there one. >> As WebEx. >> It was so quiet. What we are doing through the month of May for Mental Health Month, our project is to not just raise awareness, but identify the barriers in our One-Stop and do whatever we can to remove those barriers. Restarted in April and during the a lot of research on [ indiscernible ]. You did give me a new resource, Mental Health America. We will check that out. Personally, my job is going to be to go out to the community and interview and observe the liters and the actual mental health population to find out what the barriers are that they face. What we are hoping to do is come up with some customers that are willing to do not make mock walk through of our One-Stop so we can actually see how they interact with customers service, the facility itself and the materials that are there at the facility. Then, we can make some recommendations on how to remove those barriers and provide the One-Stop with some resources on how to remove them like some training that can come out of the training, once we identify with the barriers are and what training they need and provide volunteers that can help with one on one tutoring with customers or some funding solutions. >> I think customers service would be the key in terms of making sure that you have top-notch customer service that is aware of any issues that job-seekers were coming [ indiscernible ] mental health issues are dealing with. >> We want to identify what they are facing and what the customer Service employees are having trouble with helping out help them bring in someone that can help them to understand it and do real training on that. >> Trina, one of the things that I am wondering, someone who has a Long term mental health diagnosis with bipolar or schizophrenic or something like that, which consider as part of your training, the fact that there are a lot of situational depression that job-seekers are experiencing as they are coming into the One-Stops, having a lot of more people coming into the One-Stop clubs that are unemployed dealing with issues like that, the pressure [ indiscernible ] in our current economic climate, that is happening. >> Yeah, we feel that a lot in Michigan. >> That is why I was wondering part of the highest unemployment rate has got to be with you in the country. How are you dealing with that? >> Not easy. The one location have for the One-Stop, there are four opening up in Jim. The one that I work at, they go from 3 to 500 people each they in one location. >> That is up from how much from a few years ago? >> Oh, it is probably 3 to 5 times and they have not increased their staff and not have the funding to increase their staff. It is really, really hard. As Navigators, we have brought in a lot of volunteers to help with doing copying and handing out materials and offering resources. We have an one person in this location that is specifically for helping customers to navigate the 211 website or United Way resources. >> Right. >> Beverly seems to help a lot of people. >> I am wondering if the compassion fatigue training and resources on that as well as the Mental Health America, Live Your Life Well strategies might be good things for you to remind your staff, but the oxygen mask on yourself first when you are on the plane before you help another, making sure that your staff and partners are not burning out. >> Exactly. It is so hard with so many people coming through. >> We wish you the best of luck with that. Is sounds like you are being very pro-active in your area. It is wonderful. >> Thank you. >> You will have to keep us posted. >> I will. >> Okay. Let us know how you are using the 30-second trainings and if you utilize those webinar-I did want to mention that the webinar on May six that Clare Miller is presenting on, we will have some information on that [ indiscernible ] site. There is that and she is working with Mental Health America as well as her own workplace mental health website that she has a great resource there. I encourage people if you are not signed up or if it does not work for you on the day of, check out the archive even if just it is to check out the materials. We will be sharing some really great resources, materials, national, state, local resources that people can connect with as well as information briefs on out-there is one on how to deal with the current financial crisis for employer plans and employees. There is some really good information there. I wanted to take a moment to promote that. Of course, checking out [ indiscernible ] due in terms of serving job seekers with mental health issues. We all build upon one another. It is like-what is it called? Open sourcing, is that what it is, Kevin and Toni? In the computer world where you build on one another? >> Yes, I believe that is correct. >> Keep on building on these good ideas. Clever to bleak as Navigators, providing each other with discussions and ideas it is wonderful. We can all put on track opens can openly rip-off and duplicate. I see we have a couple of other hand up. Madeleine, I will open up your line. Actually, I cannot. Madeleine, Bob and Maria, if you want to write your questions in the Q&A box, it looks like you are not hooked up on the phone line to have as open your phone line. We want to get to your question. If you could write it in the tat function or Q&A, we will get to do. In the meantime, I will unmute Denise's line. Hi. >> Hi, how are you? >> Good. How are you? >> I am good. This is off topic, but I just wanted to-[Audio interference]. >> You are breaking up a little bit. You want to talk about [ indiscernible ] in Wisconsin? It looks like we lost Denise. All right. Does anyone else from Wisconsin, do you want to talk about the Navapalooza? That is coming at the beginning of Jim. I do not have the details about it. Last year it was Minnesota, Wisconsin, Iowa, some others. Maybe Denise will callback in. Do we have anyone else to kibitzing in the chat function? It does not look like-A oh. Let me unmute Debra. Welcome back. >> Hi. I thought I would mention, just in case people did not get a chance to do this, if the ADA had a audit conference on Tuesday the 21st. I was able to participate in the Ohio State University. It was mental health, real, common and treatable--To the outline for it is really, really good. Is simplifies a lot of things [ indiscernible ] people might want and answer some deep questions, but it talks about the mental health continuum and really reaches into a lot of different things that you know but would not organized in this fashion. That was in our e-mail that was sent out a while ago. You might want to look that up, the ADA audio Conference on mental illness. >> It is probably archived? >> It took place yesterday. >> It might take a little while for the archive to be posted. That is not something that NDI did. What is the website, Debra? >> I am afraid if I close this down, I will lose. I can get that and send that-- >> Did you want to send that to me and make sure we are talking about the same thing? If you send me an e-mail with that information I can send that out with a follow up that is going out on the Listserv tomorrow as an additional resource. >> [ OVERLAPPING SPEAKERS ]. >> It does list some good resources in here. I like the way it was summarized. I could give the Lady's address. Would it be easier if I get back with you and you forward it out? >> Yeah. The other thing I will probably do with the other presentations that we are going to be doing this month, we will be having resources that go along with that as well. We might do that as an additional resource for the other two webinars. >> Okay, very gut. >> All right. I see that Madeline Miller-thank you, Debra. Is there anything else you have? >> No, that is it. >> Okay. Thank you, Debra. I see that Matalin has found the check function. This is what she had to say. She has had great responses from the 30-second training. She created a huge e-mail Listserv to send those out and the resources to a large number of people. Great feedback. People think is wonderful and helpful and she is adding new people all the time. For the month of May she has been asked to pass-it stands for something. >> [ LAUGHING ]. >> We are all acronym happy in the DPN initiative. I usually take a guess. We can work campaign sponsored by the New York Association of the cyc rehab Services. She provided that. And with OMH--All right. Great work, Madeleine. We are glad to see you are connected. Bob also added that he thinks there should be a training discussing how the denies that deals with clients who talk about suicide. There are probably correct ways to interact with these people without exacerbating the situation. The current economic climate--and the staff sometimes does not know the correct way to handle the topic. I really here where you're coming from there, Bob. I know that people are seeing that. With my own experience as a Navigator at the local level I had a number of times where I was drawn in where clients work--The counselor or case manager or whoever was working with them was struggling to address that. There, of course,-it is a challenge. It is not like there is one right way to do things. What I found to be really helpful is bringing in those local partners From your mental health agency, suicide hot line, crisis center, those kinds of people to talk to your staff and help reassure them. Your staff, they are in this line of work because they are good with people. They are probably intuitively going to be effective by giving them some additional resources that they can call upon if they are working with a client that is expressing this kind of thought, you know, that comes back in with the compassion fatigue and when you have clients that are expressing that, you take it home with you a lot. Really making sure that they are taking care of themselves and have good connections and partners in the community that they can work with and no, I think what a lot of people have been talking about doing with rainbows partners into the One-Stop and talking there, that could be helpful. You know who to call and can set up desktop Resources, who do you call when the client is expressing these type of Bob's? I know that has been extremely helpful to me when I have worked with clients in these kind of positions. Does anyone else have anything that would like to add on that front, Toni or Kevin? Are you with me, Kevin, Toni? >> I am here. >> Do you have anything to buy to add on that, Toni? >> No, I do not. >> Okay. >> Or anyone else on the call that has suggestions? >> I certainly wish you the best of luck on that Bob. If you wanted to follow up with me in a phone call, I can give you some more strategies and ideas. I think brainstorming with the partners at the local level can make a big difference. I would encourage you to be on the call on May sixth and on may have 27. You will have access to several experts who have dealt with this as well and can give you more ideas than those that I just threw out. It might be a good opportunity to get into a deeper discussion about that. All right. Let see. I see that when he has a comment. Toni, do you want to read Wendy's comment? >> Sure. It says health and welfare in Idaho Falls has [ indiscernible ] schedule someone with non-emergencies mental health issues. We also did a 4-part series training on suicide. >> There you go. When the mighty a real good resource for you. She is from Idaho Falls. You might want to connect with Wendy. It is a it puts bit of a long-term solution. I know that in Boulder County, Colorado, where I used to be a Navigator, we had a physician from the mental health agency located at the One-Stop that works with minty attend any clients at the One-Stop. That was what they went after. In terms of long-term addressing these type of issues and having an on-site resource, you might want to look into that. It looks like Wendy did something like that, which is great. It would be interesting to see the 4-part series trading. Wendy, if you are listening, maybe you can send the materials that went along with that training series. That would be great to see. We are thinking that is posted on the One-Stop library. That is not great place to look for these trainings. Do you want to bring Christine's comment, Toni? >> Our staff has two people that have training for suicide prevention and the other staff are aware of the two contact when needed. >> All right. It sounds like people have some really great strategies and in Place, which is excellent. Actually, I will unmute Christine's line. Christine, hi. >> Hi. >> Did you want to add anything else to that? Is sounds like you have some good infrastructure there. >> Attend. Where are you calling from? >> Jackson County, Oregon. We just had a Staff meeting. It is an important thing to mention and I have talked about it with colleagues before that there are a lot of people that work here that we work with all of the time that have extracurricular-type activities that we do not know about, other than their workout. So, like I work for-I volunteered for the [ indiscernible ] advocate, as well. It is important to try to get people to network with each other, especially when people come on. We try to encourage people to have lunches together and get to know what their attendant who their co-workers are and what assets they would bring to the workplace to tap into. >> Is that something where-certainly a new client or new stuff coming on board, for those of you that are actually hiring the staff, really, would there be a way-I think that is not great strategy, finding out who on staff do we have who have some experience in this area and who knows the resources and maybe has a background in working in this area that you do not know about because you do not know distaff. That might be a really good-knowing everyone in the One-Stop who can provide what. For those of you in the larger centers, that might be a challenged. Who has what background? You as a Navigator say that these are the resources we have on site already that you might not know about. >> One of the things we do on our Company website, we have a little biography of each person that works there to give the credentials and what they know and do and what their hobbies are. That is helpful, too. If we are so busy that we do not take the time to read any more. >> It is format to in that way, it is interesting to see someone's biography. If you actually had not made listing up on staff, who do we have claxon not that you would expect them to be a mental health counselor. If you had a situation-I know as Navigators, if someone is expressing ideas and expressing those thoughts, nine times out of 10, they will say, let's go get our Navigator. That is why I was drawn in a lot of this and you get pulled into that. Would you might want to have it is who is on staff who is certified in CPR? Who do we have on staff who knows Kung Fu. >> [ LAUGHING ]. >> It is interesting. With the stimulus package, with the program we have for the youth, we are not hiring new people but allowing staff to jump all over the place. We just found out that one of the staff members passion was as a medical assistant. She took over that piece with the youth program. We did not know that. >> It can offer some professional development and people to get out of their little silo-- >> [ OVERLAPPING SPEAKERS ]. >> I think that you have to think through how you will do that. Again, you do not want to say that we have a person on staff who works as a volunteer [ indiscernible ] and is an expert on that topic. They might be a resource on that topic. I think that is a really good idea. Thank you. >> You're welcome. >> We have had a really great-- >> Thank you for tagging me. >> Thank you for speaking up. >> Kevin, do you want to read what Maria said? Can you read that? >> Yeah, I am trying to find it. >> You might not be able to see it. >> It did not get sent to me. >> I will read it. Nevermind. So, Maria was saying, Maria is our Maria from Texas. She says that the DPN is working [ indiscernible ] of a mental health Task Force to address local issues and provide educational awareness. The mental health task force has it given staff development workshops to give credit, using partners from the University. Topics covered include anxiety, posttraumatic stress and [ indiscernible ]. --Listing all mental health professionals in the area and has sponsored an event to raise awareness for mental health day, May second--Games with children. All right. It sounds like people are doing a White number of things across the board. We appreciate you contributing and hope that everyone is getting good ideas from one another. It looks like we are wrapping up here. We are coming up at the end of our time here Today. It does not look like we have any other questions at the moment. It is possible that Debra raised her hand, again. I will unmute again, just in case produce you have another question? >> No, I do not. >> We are still figuring out the hand low rank and raising think. I certainly appreciate all of your attendance on the call today and all of the work you are doing at in your local areas around mental health, supporting your staff and job seekers that are coming in and dealing with some of these issues. We hope the information in Today's webinar is useful and look forward to the participation with the upcoming training class we have coming in May . If you can contact myself if you have any questions. There is my contact information and also Kevin and Toni, if you have any questions about the 30-second training. I want to throw it back to Kevin and Toni for any final thoughts. Kevin? >> Well, it's just stick to the schedule. Put your names too and make this a part of what you will do in May . It will have a bigger impact than you think and is simple to do. >> Toni? >> I would just like to say that I see a lot of our review committee on line. I would like to thank all of you for your participation and all of you that have participated in creating the 30-second training. >> There they are. There is the list. --We definitely want to get another shot out to those people and all of the hard work they have done in Edition to Kevin and Toni. Keep us posted and let us know the feedback you get from these 30-second trainings. We look forward to being on the calls with all of you in the next month. Good luck with all of the good work you are doing there in the local area. I will go ahead and and our call today. Goodbye. >> Goodbye. >> [Event concluded ]
