SUMMARY:Webinar: Helping Children with Special Needs Cope with Loss
DESCRIPTION:During this presentation\, we will discuss what grief looks like in youth with special needs and the consequent losses they experience after someone close to them dies. Caregivers will gain tools and strategies to assist their children in processing their grief and cope with hard emotions. We will review current best practices supporting grieving children with special needs and discuss how Kate’s Club has expanded to be more accessible to the families supporting them. \nPresented by: Ashlie Evans \nAshlie Evans has been at Kate’s Club since December 2019. She graduated from Howard University in 2013 with a B.S. in Psychology. She has earned her Masters in Health Administration in 2020. Initially hired to coordinate programs and manage the membership process\, she now oversees the collection\, management and analysis of data from surveys\, applications and assessments. Prior to working at Kate’s Club\, she served as a behavioral specialist directly supporting youth ages 5-18 experiencing emotional\, developmental\, behavioral and mental health issues and their families for 5 years. While working at Kate’s Club\, she created the Half-day Clubhouse program to address the growing need for grief support for youth with special needs. Her favorite part about Kate’s Club is watching sad\, angry\, and resistant kids leave smiling and hopeful knowing they are not alone in their grief.

SUMMARY:Virtual Regional Training: Cost of Care
DESCRIPTION:Finance is almost as taboo to discuss in open forums as mental health\, ALMOST.  Here we come in that awkward space in between to discuss the relationship between behavioral health and finances and how to develop a better relationship with one if not both of them.  During the session\, we will discuss the Cost to Care\, what is the financial\, emotional\, and physical impact of caring for a loved one with a diagnosis.  This leads us to discuss the Cost of Doing Good\, and how caregivers and providers are impacted financially and emotionally by the work they do.  Each of these aspects is affected  by each person’s own Personal Relationship with Money.  That in turn affects how one manages Mental Health and Money. \nPlease Join Us!! \nPresented by: Shanta Hayes\, LCSW
