CHIPS – A Group for Parents & Caregivers of Children with an Incarcerated Parent
Are you a parent or caregiver of a child who has an incarcerated parent? If so, you are not alone. It is estimated that on any given day in America, 1 in 14 children have had–or do have– a parent incarcerated.
This monthly group offers a friendly, safe (virtual) space for caregivers to connect and support one another. We will share information about community resources, ask questions, discuss challenges, celebrate successes, explore self-care strategies, and expand our “parenting toolboxes.”
Participants will receive a $20 Walmart gift card for each meeting they attend. Please contact Patrice if you have any questions or want more information.
This group is for NH residents and meets on the last Monday of every month. Participants will be emailed a Zoom link before each meeting.
The group is supported by the Family Ties Inside Out Project. Here is a list of other groups for incarcerated parents, also supported by Family Ties and offered by other New Hampshire organizations.

Building Community Resilience to Address Addiction
2021-02-11 09:30 - 11:30 | NH
The third and final workshop in the Aces & Trauma: Working Towards Resiliency series is Building Community Resilience to Address Addiction, presented by Liz Blackwell-Moore. This free workshop will:

Explain the role toxic stress, caused by experiences in a household or in the community, put a person at higher risk for early use of substances and problematic substance use.
Examine protective community conditions within the ACE|R framework that can be implemented to prevent or reduce early use of substances and substance use disorders.
Identify collaborative strategies that participants can implement to improve community conditions for people and communities most at risk for behavioral health problems.

Date & Time: Thursday February 11, 2021 from 9:30am – 11:30am
Space for this workshop is limited, so please register here: scphncommunityresilience.eventbrite.com
Workshop Overview:
Trauma-informed approaches in order to build individual resilience are being used more widely to prevent, reduce harm, treat, and support recovery from substance use disorder. Yet, protective community conditions like affordable quality housing, living wages, safe public spaces, strong relationships between neighbors, and opportunities for restorative practices and diversion, are missing for too many individuals and communities struggling with the highest rates of substance use disorder. The lack of protective community conditions can undermine an individual’s efforts to improve their own lives. In this workshop, participants will explore community conditions that are necessary for people to thrive and what impact household, community, and environmental toxic stress have on addiction. Participants will be introduced to the Adverse Community Experiences and Resilience (ACE|R) Framework, and will work in small groups to discuss ways to work across the substance use continuum of care to build community resilience that will positively impact prevention, harm reduction, treatment, and recovery efforts.
CEU’s: CEUs for Certified Prevention Specialists are currently pending approval. All participants will receive a certificate of attendance.

Relationships are too important to leave to chance. Educational success and social-emotional development blossom when caring adults and supportive peers are present in young people’s lives. Extensive research has documented relationships as the roots of social and emotional development for youth. Yet many professionals who work directly with youth – especially youth from marginalized communities – face challenges in forming well-rounded relationships that connect with the diverse needs of youth. This workshop helps participants learn to intentionally build developmental relationships with young people to powerfully benefit youth learning and development.
Workshop Objectives:

Identify the difference between being intentional and being inclusive.
Believe that relationships impacted your own development.
Assess your relational style using the Developmental Framework.
Understand the origin of Developmental Framework.
Be able to identify the 5 elements of the Developmental Relationships Framework.
Identify some ways that 5 elements are reflected in your current your practices.
Identify and commit to using one element of the framework in daily practice to cultivate developmental relationships with young people.
Identify approaches to building developmental relationships that are available in the Relationship Builder’s Guidebook.

Date & Time: Tuesday, January 26 & Thursday, January 28, 2021 – 10am – 12:15pm each day
Registration Fee: $25 (*non-refundable) fee includes registration to both workshop-parts, CEU’s (pending approval), a workbook, and other Search-Institute materials
