Overview: This webinar is designed to support Peers/Consumers and Family Members currently employed as paid, volunteer and stipend reimbursed staff in the mental health system. The overall goal is to deconstruct potential communication barriers between employer, prospective/current employees, co-workers, and clients to enhance skills that will help build a supportive network and promote success within a multicultural workplace/service environment.

This webinar will engage participants in discussion and skill building exercises and help them to:

 

1.    Build trust within the workplace/service environment within this multicultural context.

2.    Effectively share self-value and perspectives through responsive communication.

3.    Identify and align with workplace mentors, build teams, and identify resources.

4.    Use communication to help sustain an environment of wellness.

The Chancellor's Office, in partnership with the Foundation for California Community Colleges (FCCC), has announced that training and technical assistance (TTA) services are now available to support student mental health prevention and early intervention (PEI) activities on all 112 campuses. These services are made possible through a grant from the California Mental Health Services Authority (CalMHSA).  

 

Three webinars are being offered to provide more information about the CCC Student Mental Health Program and the services available to colleges. In addition, these webinars will provide an opportunity to solicit input and identify needs with respect to student mental health training and technical assistance that services can address as this work moves forward.

 

These are repeat webinars on June 25, June 27, and June 28. If you would like to attend:

Are you interested in making a difference in the lives of young people? Do you have a passion for reducing stigma and discrimination toward people with mental health conditions through education? If so, join enthusiastic individuals across the state to help deliver the Ending the Silence (ETS) program to your area!

ETS is a 50-minute program designed for high school audiences and is typically presented in the freshman/sophomore health classes during the mental health portion of the curriculum. This transformational program is devoted to giving students an opportunity to learn about mental illness through an informative PowerPoint, short videos, and personal testimony. Through the presentation, students learn symptoms, and indicators of mental illness, and are given ideas about how to help themselves, friends, or family members who may be in need of support.

 

NAMI California is looking for presenters who are comfortable with self-disclosure, knowledgeable about the various disorders, and people living with a diagnosable mental health condition. Since this program will be reaching out to high school students, we are especially interested in getting young people involved in ETS.

 

ETS presenter trainings will be conducted in the last two weeks of June via webinar (days and times for each two hour training are listed below). If you're interested in participating in one of these trainings, please follow the link to complete the ETS presenter application and email or fax it to Holly Davison at NAMI California. Registration is limited to 25 people per training, so submit your application today!

A class action settlement will provide money  to California residents who were 18 years old or
older and who paid for any portion of the price of  the prescription antidepressant Paxil® while living
in California from January 14, 1999 through January 1, 2003, and who qualify under the settlement
(these people are called "Class Members"). If you're  included, you may ask for a payment, or you can
exclude yourself from, or object to, the settlement.

The Superior Court for the State of California, County of Los Angeles will have a hearing to decide whether to approve the settlement so that payments can be issued. The lawsuit claims that GlaxoSmithKline falsely advertised and promoted Paxil® as being non-habit forming or non-addictive and that GlaxoSmithKline's advertisements and promotional materials failed to disclose the risk of symptoms from stopping or discontinuing Paxil®. GlaxoSmithKline denies each of these allegations.
