8 9 10 11 Wednesday Afternoon • May 16, 2012 Exploring Identity: Approaches to Enhance Strengths & Resilience Note: While workshops 8, 44, 52 & 62 can be stand-alone trainings, the presenters have designed them as a “track” of four workshops. Our identity is the essence of who we are, our values, strengths and resilience. Individuals receiving services from, and living in, our power-over-people culture have their identity spoiled. This workshop explores working with identity, personal strengths, values and resilience. By the end of the session, participants will be able to: 1) Describe the effect of self-stigma and a spoiled identity on an individual’s hope, connections, harm and effectiveness of making choices; 2) Identify the areas of a person’s identity, including resilience, values, strengths, identity and their story; 3) Use the guided conversations and tools to individuals choosing to change and strengthen their identity.

The county has also worked for several years in the Collaborative Court Model with Mental Health Courts. We will discuss how these approaches currently work together. We also hope to share the similarities and differences between these approaches and more traditional FACT teams. By the end of the session, participants will be able to: 1) Identify key principles of the Collaborative Court Programs; 2) Identify the similarities and differences between FACT and the Collaborative Court Model; 3) Discuss the rational of moving toward more fidelity with the ACT/FACT model.

We will provide information on this innovative program, its evolution over the past four years and the PTP experience of clients, staff and other providers. There will be an opportunity for discussion on the blending of mandated and client-directed approaches within a traditional, value based ACT model. By the end of the session, participants will be able to: 1) Describe the eligibility criteria and key components of the Progressive Treatment Program; 2) Identify the characteristics of ACT clients who achieve stability through PTP; 3) Examine the opportunities and tensions inherent in blending mandated and client-directed approaches to treatment within the ACT model.

Creating Cultures of Trauma-Informed Care (CCTIC), the organizational culture change approach developed at Community Connections, is built on five core values: Safety, Trustworthiness, Choice, Collaboration, and Empowerment. ACT Services can become trauma-informed by thoroughly incorporating, in all aspects of service delivery, an understanding of the prevalence and impact of trauma and the complex paths to healing and recovery.
