SUMMARY:TRAINING - For Teens - How to be Happy\, Less Stressed\, and Thrive
DESCRIPTION:MHAfred recommends this online self-paced mini-course tailored for high schoolers. It provides a concise introduction to Positive Psychology\, which explores the factors contributing to happiness. With this knowledge\, teens can set personal goals for enhancing well-being and developing healthier habits. The course runs for six weeks and requires just three hours each week. Registration is open until the course ends in mid-August. Free to Coursera members\, a free 7-day trial and course can be completed within that timeframe.  \nFollow the web link in this MHAfred calendar posting for registration and a video presentation from Dr. Laurie Santos\, professor of the popular Yale course Psychology and the Good Life. She explains why she developed this course for teens and what you can expect. \nFrom the professor: A recent survey found that 37% of teens say they have poor mental health. This 6-week course aims to curb this mental health crisis by combining the best insights from Dr. Laurie Santos’ popular Yale course Psychology and the Good Life. In this course\, you will explore what the field of psychology teaches us about how to be happier\, how to feel less stressed\, and how to thrive in high school and beyond. The lessons and short weekly ‘happiness homework’ assignments will ultimately prepare you to put these scientific findings into practice. The ultimate goal is for you to feel better and build healthier habits.  \nNote: This course is not affiliated with Yale University and does not offer grades\, credits\, or student status. THE SCIENCE OF WELL-BEING FOR TEENS WAS PRODUCED IN PART DUE TO THE GENEROUS FUNDING OF THE ARTHUR M. BLANK FAMILY FOUNDATION AND THE JOHN TEMPLETON FOUNDATION. \nParents\, teachers\, and professionals supporting teenagers may also find the course relevant and beneficial.

SUMMARY:Webinar: Peer Services - An Overview of “The National Model Standards for Peer Support Certification" (Session 1)
DESCRIPTION:The National Model Standards for Peer Support Certification” is the first substantive document on peer support published by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration since the 2015 landmark publication of “SAMHSA’s Core Competencies for Peer Workers in Behavioral Health Services.” A lot has changed (as evidenced by the depth and breadth of the content areas packed into the 35 pages of the Standards); and all but one state now have state-run or state-endorsed peer certification programs. \nThe first session\, held on July 29 (1-2:30pm ET)\, will be an overview of the 11 standards and introduction to a matrix that groups can use to determine their compliance with the standards and whether or not the standards apply to their state/organization. Then we will do a deep dive into the two standards that have generated the most discussion among the stakeholders we have been in contact with since the release of the standards in 2023. The second session\, held on August 5 (1-2:30pm ET)\, will review Standard 7: Recovery. For the third session\, held on August 12 (1-2:30pm ET) facilitators will discuss Standard 11: Peer Supervision. \n\nAt the end of Session 1\, participants will be able to:\n\n\nDefine what National Model Standards are generally\, including whether they are mandated under federal law\, can states tie funding to them\, is there a timeline for their implementation\, etc.\nDescribe the purpose and/or goal of each of the 11 standards\nDescribe the purpose of the matrix\, and when and how it should be used.\n\nTo learn more or register\, follow the website link below.
