Purpose: The Cultural Revitalization Initiative seeks to encourage all sectors to create the opportunity for “belonging” through continued education and the transformation of policy and procedure that results in “othering.” The Initiative hopes to shift cultural norms by creating opportunities to share a variety of cultural practices, foods, rituals, ceremony, arts, various codes of ethics and traditional values. We hope to reconnect BIPOC to their sacred traditions and cultivate respect, safety and equity for all people.

Maricopa SHIFT: Safe, Healthy Infants and Families Thrive
2022-09-21 13:00 - 14:15 | Virtual
Please join us for this informative webinar on the Maricopa SHIFT initiative!!! Register here: https://us06web.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZcsf-yrrjgrHdcTizR4hHBCgX7Ve2FC2z2G
WHAT: Maricopa SHIFT (Safe, Healthy Infants and Families Thrive) is a new initiative, aimed at improving cross-system collaboration in a non-stigmatizing, trauma and infant mental health informed manner, for pregnant women with a substance use disorder. The only two qualifiers for participation are (1)- a pregnant parent and (2)- with a substance use disorder (SUD) of any kind. Any other system involvement, including an open DCS case or not, does not affect eligibility.
WHY: The national Opioid epidemic has impacted thousands of newborns throughout the U.S. Maricopa SHIFT aims at reducing the incidence of Substance Exposed Newborns (SEN), many of whom are affected by Neonatal Abstinence Syndrome (NAS) after exposure to opioids and other substances in utero. It has been demonstrated that EARLY ENGAGEMENT IN COLLABORATIVE, COMPASSIONATE SERVICES PRENATALLY, can greatly improve the outcomes for these newborns and their families in a multitude of ways.
WHO: Maricopa SHIFT is a collaboration of a variety of providers within Maricopa County for expectant parents affected by SUD. Examples include: MAT (Medication Assisted Treatment) and substance use treatment providers; Family Treatment Court; WIC (Women, Infants and Children); High risk maternal health care providers; Hushabye Nursery; AHCCCS; MCDPH, ADHS and others.
HOW: When you have a client who meets the above 2 criteria, tell them about SHIFT and how it can benefit them. Clients can self-refer by contacting us via email or phone; or, with their consent, you can refer them to us. We’re happy to answer any questions!

ADHS ACEs Dashboard Discussion
2022-10-19 12:00 - 13:00 | Virtual
The Arizona Department of Health Services is working on a dashboard that shows the root causes of ACEs at the family, community, society, and cultural levels that contribute to increasing childhood adversity among families and communities in Arizona. It would be great if we could hear insights from ACEs experts within our state (which means, social workers, healthcare professionals, teachers, community leaders, and anyone who is working with Arizona families and communities with ACEs). During the meeting, we would like to present the dashboard and then open up the discussion where participants can provide their feedback. Once the dashboard is complete, it will be uploaded on the ADHS website and available to the public to increase the public understanding of ACEs in Arizona children.

Salutogenisis: The origins of health and how to promote resilience and wellbeing
Pediatricians / pediatric providers are the go-to professional families turn to with concerns about their child’s health and well-being. Nearly 93% of children under age 18 years visit a medical provider annually and 68% of children seen in a pediatric health care setting have experienced traumatic or significant adverse events. Over the last 2 decades research has shown that Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) can lead to a cascade of negative health outcomes : developmental, behavioral, physical, emotional and mental. The good news is pediatricians and pediatric healthcare providers have a unique opportunity to identify, address and prevent Adverse Childhood Experiences. By having an appreciation and understanding of the universal human stress response and how the environment children are exposed to effects biology which ultimately drives behavior and development, pediatricians / pediatric providers are perfectly positioned to impact current and future resilience and wellbeing of the children and teens they encounter.
