May 28, 2024 | 3:00 p.m. EST

Facilitators: Translate Gender Co-Directors--James Shultis, MFA; Shai Kuper, MSW, LCSW;and members of the Translate Gender Community

Affiliation: Translate Gender, Northampton, MA

Description: Join Translate Gender, a trans-led community non-profit based in Western Massachusetts, as we embark on a conversation about creating inclusive and welcoming relationships with trans, nonbinary, and gender expansive individuals. In a time where anti-trans legislation is at an all-time high, we know that we must build and sustain our practices of gender justice that includes community organization, education, and changing the ways we talk and think about gender. This session will support our ongoing community learning related to gender (expression, identity, and perception), experiences that trans and gender expansive people have when navigating health and human service programs, and the impact of our current political and social climate on trans lives. Through the lens of lived experience as both practitioners and community members, our facilitators will help inspire participants to think about practical ways to build more authentic and inclusive relationships with clients, colleagues, and the larger community.

Reimaging Suicide Prevention: An Individual-in-Contexts Model

September 24, 2024 | 3:00 p.m. EST

Facilitator: Heath Hightower, Ph.D., MSW, LICSW

Affiliation: University of Saint Joseph, Department of Social Work & Equitable Community Practice

Description: Suicide is a complex human experience that poses myriad harms to millions of people globally every year. Despite its complexity, most suicide prevention models typically emphasize either individual psychological factors or population-level public health concerns. Moreover, socio-ecological and person-in-environment frameworks often overlook historical, developmental, geographic, climatic, and physical environment contexts. The Individual-in-Contexts Model encourages human services professionals and educators to re-conceptualize suicide prevention in terms of the dynamic interplay among six, interconnected contexts. These contexts include historical-developmental, geographic-environmental, structural-institutional, neighborhood-community, family-relational, and the I-self.

 

Webinar participants will be able to:

  • Define suicide, screening, assessment, intervention, and prevention
  • Identify The Individual-in-Contexts Model core concepts
  • Apply concepts to suicide screening, assessment, and intervention efforts
