Justice Involved Families-CHW Networking Gathering
2024-01-17 12:00 - 13:30 | Rhode Island
Calling all CHWs who work with judicially-involved clients! Learn about tools and how to attain resources that can benefit those you serve!

From DHCS.CA.gov, “Justice-involved or judicially-involved persons are people who are now, or have spent time, in jails, youth correctional facilities, or prisons. They are at higher risk for injury and death than the general public. They face disproportionate risk of violence, overdose and suicide.” Join CHWARI for this presentation explaining how CHWs can help support clients and familes of this vulnerable population.

Topics and resources

SDOH (how are they affected in reentry, and with current involvement)

Resources

Trauma Informed Care

Strength based treatment

The presenter will be Koren Carbuccia (She/Her/Ella) CPD,CPE,CCHWS,CPRSS, Founder/Owner of WildLife Doula.

About Koren:

In her words, “I provide supportive services that are needed to help BIPOC People with a history of incarceration, and eliminate disparities in Perinatal Postpartum and Community Health Care. As a BIPOC Woman with lived experience like the population I serve, I know what it looks like to go through an ineffective community re entry process, with no individual tailored support. I began this journey in 2005 and the same needs for judicially-involved women are not met to this day.

Why she started WildLife Doula:

With 15+ years of experience, and working for great organizations that molded me to this point, I decided it was time to take my tools and education to create the environment for people who need Perinatal, Postpartum and Community Health Services. My goal is to support a more prosperous future for them, and their children.

It really does take a village!

This in an in-person event at Alger Hall Room 110 on the Rhode Island College campus. Zoom is only being used for registration purposes.

This event is a panel of researchers who were involved with a recent study of CHW/Peer role definitions and work conditions in Rhode Island, published in Alcoholism Treatment Quarterly. They will discuss their own experiences of working in these roles as well as the changes needed to make them sustainable on the program, institutional, and legislative levels.

Abstract:

After decades of playing a critical role in extending healthcare to the most marginalized, Community Health Workers (and more recently, peer recovery specialists) are becoming widely recognized. From the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Administration (SAMSHA) to the American Journal of Public Health, important voices have called to expand these roles in response to the staffing crisis facing healthcare and mental healthcare/substance use disorder treatment. However, all is clearly not well. A series of recent publications have described wide-spread burnout, emotional exhaustion, moral injury, economic exploitation, and high workforce turnover. Although these impacts were intensified during the COVID 19 pandemic, they began well before March 2020 and, if anything, have only worsened since. As one harm-reduction worker recently stated: “The new normal is a non-stop crisis.”

Panelists:
