Nearly 1 in 2 people with intellectual and developmental disabilities experience a mental health issue in their life. Often family physicians or primary care providers are the entry points to accessing specialized care and support. However, most family physicians or clinicians are not specifically trained to serve individuals with IDD.

Supporting the mental health needs of racialized young people
 

Presented by SickKids CCMH Learning Institute

Widespread anti-Black racism pervades the criminal justice system, where Black youth are disproportionately represented. Regardless of their age, Black youth are often perceived in the system as agitators to be feared rather than as children in need of protection and support.

So often, we hear folks say, “Ugh, we hate evaluation!”, and we understand why! Evaluation can feel confusing, like extra work, disconnected from supporting youth and driven by misplaced accountability. But it doesn’t have to be this way!

Working with 2SLGBTQIA+ youth

Presented by SickKids CCMH Learning Institute

Most of us agree that our relationship with our phones is complicated - throw in the demands of a developing brain and this complexity reaches new heights! In this webinar, Dr. Natasha Parent will explore how basic psychological needs relate to adolescents' smartphone and social media use, and how engaging with these technologies can have both positive and negative effects for teens. We will unpack how these positive effects can support teens' developmental needs, and how things like FOMO can fuel behaviours that may be harmful to teens' wellbeing.

There is an urgent need to design programs and supports that center and nurture Black youth through a culturally-responsive, Africentric lens. Join Amma Gyamfowa for an exploration of the holistic impact of Africentric social work and community programming on Black youth and families. Walk away with a deeper knowledge and understanding of the impact and manifestations of anti-Black racism and racial trauma on Black communities, and the key concepts in Africentric social work and counselling.
