SUMMARY:Continuing Education - Assessing & Managing Suicide in Correctional Settings
DESCRIPTION:  \n\n\n\n\nAssessing & Managing Suicide in Correctional Settings\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMany mental health providers are adept when assessing the degree of suicidal risk and means of managing increased risk amongst their clients. However\, in the correctional setting\, risk assessment can seem less clear when managing intense\, high risk\, and sometimes contagious behaviors that occur with increased frequency. Frequently\, the question about how to manage “instrumental” self-injury\, “manipulative” reports of suicidal ideation/intent\, and aspects of malingering can cloud the picture of what we tend to think of as best practice for suicide risk assessment and management. In this workshop\, participants will learn the similarities and differences that exist in best-practice suicide risk assessment within a correctional environment and nuances of risk management related to high risk operantly maintained behaviors. \nContinuing Education Hours: 2.0 \nCLICK HERE FOR COURSE WEBSITE

SUMMARY:Webinar | From Service to Stability: Navigating Financial Well-Being\, Food Security\, and the Civilian Workforce
DESCRIPTION:University of Wisconsin-Madison Institute for Research on Poverty\nREGISTER HERE \nApproximately 200\,000 service members transition from military to civilian life each year in the United States. This shift is a complex journey and success hinges on more than just securing a new job. Recent research highlights interconnected challenges requiring more holistic considerations of financial stressors\, household food security\, and integration into the civilian workforce. Veterans recently separated from active service can face significant hurdles in establishing financial stability and overall well-being\, often exacerbated by the unexpected realities of budgeting and debt management outside the military structure. Studies also reveal a troubling disparity: working-age veterans\, especially those with children\, face elevated odds of food insecurity compared to their nonveteran peers. This webinar aligns these critical research areas to explore systemic factors driving these challenges and offers evidence-based strategies to improve veteran employment and career integration to ensure those who served our nation can achieve the long-term stability and success they deserve. \nSpeakers \n\nDawne Vogt\, Research Psychologist\, Women’s Health Sciences Division\, National Center for PTSD Women’s Health Sciences Division\, VA Boston Healthcare System\nNipa P. Kamdar\, Investigator\, Center for Innovations in Quality\, Effectiveness & Safety\, Michael E. DeBakey VA Medical Center\, Houston\nDaniel Peat\, Assistant Professor\, Department of Management\, Carl H.

SUMMARY:VetsCAN Connections for a Cause
DESCRIPTION:Promoting VA-Community Coalition\nJoin VetsCAN for a panel conversation about meeting veterans’ basic needs and how we can better meet the community’s needs.  Following the panel conversation\, we will engage in intentional networking events\, where we can explore how each organization can collaborate to support veterans in our local communities. \nThe majority of Wisconsin Veterans rely on non-VA health care providers. Therefore\, it is crucial that community providers of medical\, mental health\, and social services develop cultural competence to continue to meet the needs of Veterans in the Madison-area.  \nAs the non-profit Community Veterans Engagement Board (CVEB) affiliated with the Madison VA Hospital and Clinics through the national VA Veterans Experience Office (VEO) and like CVEBs across the country\, VetsCAN is committed to building a coalition of community organizations and providers. Please join us on Nov. 20 to learn about VetsCAN\, the needs of Veterans in our community\, and how each of us can be a part of the movement forward. \nCLICK HERE TO RSVP
