SUMMARY:Summer Institute on Implementation Science
DESCRIPTION:   \nThis event is co-hosted by the Jordan Institute for Families | UNC School of Social Work\, the Frank Porter Graham Child Development Institute\, and National Implementation Research Network (NIRN). Generous support for this event has been provided by The Annie E. Casey Foundation. \n  \nREGISTRATION IS NOW FULL. \n*Lodging and parking details are provided further below. \nBackground/Need \nSocial workers and public health professionals interested in facilitating and understanding change processes note that implementation strategies have unparalleled importance in improving population outcomes\, as they constitute the ‘how to’ component (Proctor\, Powell\, & McMillen\, 2013) of changing practices and optimizing the use of evidence to benefit people and communities (Kainz & Metz\, 2017). As the field of implementation science has grown significantly over the last decade with the proliferation of frameworks\, models\, and theories\, there is mounting interest in building the capacity of professionals in social services and public health to make use of this emerging science to support sustainable practice and systems improvements. \nThis interest has led to an intensifying conversation regarding the need to train researchers and practitioners in implementation science (Padek et al.\, 2015).  Specifically\, the shortage of individuals trained in the practice of implementation has been cited as a reason for our failure to optimize the use of evidence to improve population outcomes (Straus et al.\, 2011.)  In response to this gap\, more is being studied and written about the specific competencies needed to facilitate change in complex systems (Bornbaum\, Kornas\, Peirson\, & Rosella\, 2015; Berta\, et al.\, 2015). Moreover\, the Grand Challenges Initiative developed by the American Academy of Social Work and Social Welfare (Sherradon et al.\, 2015) explicates a set of pressing social issues\, around which social work researchers and practitioners can unite. The highlighted challenges are complex\, and will require the cultivation of implementation competencies among the researchers and practitioners who are positioned to address them. \nPurpose \nThis new two-day Summer Institute seeks to provide foundational knowledge of implementation science and to build professional and graduate students’ knowledge\, skills\, and strategies for supporting change using implementation best practices. Through interdisciplinary professional development and seminar series\, this Summer Institute will orient participants to the skills and competencies of implementation practice and will foster the development of foundational skills needed to support the use of evidence in practice. \nObjectives \nThe Summer Institute aims to seed the growth of implementation science practitioners who will be able to: \n\nIdentify and characterize problems that can be addressed through more effective implementation.\nSupport authentic engagement of communities and stakeholders in all stages of the implementation process resulting in programs and practices that are contextualized and tailored to settings to improve outcomes.\nIntegrate use of quantitative and qualitative feedback at each stage of implementation to optimize performance of programs and practices in local contexts and at scale.\nSupport the sustainability of interventions and approaches by developing a shared vision\, building capacity\, and supporting collaboration.\n\n\n\n\n\nA unififying element of the institute will be the promotion and cultivation of Skills and Competencies for Implementation Practitioners\, namely: Co-Creation\, in the form of co-learning\, brokering\, addressing power differentials\, co-design\, and tailored support; Continuous Improvement\, in the form of assessing need and context\, applying and integrating implementation science approaches\, and conducting improvement cycles; and Sustaining Change\, in the form of growing and sustaining relationships\, building capacity\, cultivating leadership\, and facilitation. \n*For additional media related to implementation\, tune in to the National Implementation Research Network podcast! \nSummer Institute Planning Committee \nCo-Chair: Sarah Verbiest – Director of the Jordan Institute for Families\, John A. Tate Early Career Scholars for Children in Need Professor at the School of Social Work\, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill; Executive Director of the Center for Maternal and Infant Health \nCo-Chair: Allison Metz – Director of the National Implementation Research Network (NIRN)\, Senior Research Scientist at the Frank Porter Graham Child Development Institute; Research Professor at the School of Social Work\, University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill \nMembers: Amanda Farley – Project Manager\, National Implementation Research Network (NIRN)\, Frank Porter Graham Child Development Institute; Todd Jensen – Research Associate\, Jordan Institute for Families; Research Assistant Professor at the School of Social Work\, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill \nWhy the UNC-CH School of Social Work’s Jordan Institute for Families and NIRN came together:  \nThe UNC-CH School of Social Work’s Jordan Institute for Families and the National Implementation Research Network (NIRN) are partnering to offer the inaugural Summer 2018 Institute on Implementation Science. The new Summer Institute provides an exciting opportunity to join the Jordan Institute’s mission to extend social work training beyond the academy walls into communities with NIRN’s goal to support the development and use of evidence to improve outcomes for children and families. Social workers and public health professionals attending the Summer Institute will develop foundational skills to use emerging science to support sustainable practice and system improvements in their communities. \n  \n\n\n\n\n\n\nWe are excited to welcome our outstanding Plenary Speakers: \nAllison Blake\, PhD\, LSW has more than 30 years of experience serving children and families. She was recently appointed a Senior Fellow with the Annie E. Casey Foundation where her primary focus is assisting public and private child welfare agencies implement the Family First Prevention Services Act. Previously\, she served as commissioner of the New Jersey Department of Children and Families for more than seven and a half years. Under her leadership\, the department successfully implemented an integrated and strategic approach to delivering child welfare services. This approach promoted evidence informed\, community- based services to support women\, children\, and families. Dr. Blake also led New Jersey’s efforts to significantly expand community partnerships to prevent child abuse and strengthen families. She previously served as Director of the Institute for Families at Rutgers University School of Social Work and Vice President of Accreditation Operations at the Council on Accreditation. Dr. Blake earned a Master’s degree in Social Work from Rutgers University and a Doctorate from Fordham University. Through her extensive work and vast experience\, Dr. Blake has acquired comprehensive knowledge and insight on developing programs and improving child welfare systems in order to improve the lives of children and families. She is a member of the National Board of Directors of the Child Welfare League of America and a member of the National Advisory Committee on Children and Disasters. \n  \nPaul Elam\, PhD\, president of PPA\, is a skilled team builder\, project manager\, and researcher with policy expertise in youth violence and prevention\, crime and justice\, and child maltreatment. He conducts his work using a culturally responsive and racial equity lens and brings a commitment to diversity\, inclusion\, and equity. Dr. Elam has a wealth of knowledge and experience measuring racial and ethnic disproportionality and believes that sound public policy analysis should include an examination of whether all people are being treated fairly and equitably. For the last decade\, Dr. Elam has worked with the Governor’s Committee on Juvenile Justice\, the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services\, and local jurisdictions to ensure that justice-involved youth are treated fairly and equitably. He is responsible for data collection\, reporting\, technical assistance and strategic support to develop and implement solutions that reduce disproportionate minority contact in Michigan’s child welfare and juvenile justice systems. Dr. Elam is assisting the Annie E. Casey Foundation as an advisor and mentor with the Expanding the Bench Initiative. This initiative aims to improve evaluation science and social innovation by increasing diversity in the field of research and evaluation. Dr. Elam’s work will focus on evaluators from historically underrepresented groups with evaluation expertise in the areas of child welfare and juvenile justice. Dr. Elam is also partnering with the Michigan Department of Education (MDE) to document the experiences and perspectives of students of color in Michigan’s public school system. The goal is to help Michigan schools narrow the achievement gap between African-American students and others by listening to these students about their experiences. Findings will be used to help develop culturally responsive pedagogy and teaching approaches that increase the academic success and retention of students of color in underperforming schools. Dr. Elam has been a lead consultant on numerous statewide projects\, including the Michigan Coalition for Race Equity in Child Welfare and Juvenile Justice and the Michigan Child Welfare Improvement Task Force. He also played a key role in the development and implementation of the Michigan Prisoner ReEntry Initiative and continues to work on reentry training across the U.S. \n\n\n\n  \n\n\n\nA special thanks to UNC-CH Administration\, UNC-CH School of Social Work\, and FPG Child Development Institute Leadership for their suppport: \nBob Blouin\, PharmD is the Executive Vice Chancellor and Provost (“provost”) of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.

SUMMARY:Transforming Developmental Trauma’s Impact on Emotion Regulation & Connection
DESCRIPTION:Research has shown that adverse childhood experiences–physical and emotional abuse\, neglect\, exposure to domestic violence or substance abuse\, and other early exposures to violence–are more common than thought and can cause profound and pervasive effects on physical and mental health. As adults\, survivors of early trauma may experience: \n\ncomplex disruptions of affect regulation\,\ndisturbed attachment patterns\,\nrapid behavioral regressions and shifts in emotional states\,\naggressive or destructive behavior against self and/or others\,\ndelays or disruptions in achieving developmental competencies\,\naltered schemas of the world\,\nan overactivation of their stress response system\,\naltered awareness or assessment of danger\, dissociation or numbingx\nmultiple health problems: cardiovascular\, metabolic\, immunological\, and sexual disorders\,\nproblems with self-concept and self-regulation\, and\nchronic feelings of shame\, self-hatred\, self-blame.\n\nWhile the DSM-5 does not include a diagnostic category of “developmental trauma disorder\,” treating these constellation of problems in a piece meal fashion would miss out on how they express a system of internal disorganization. \nIn this workshop\, Kate Gotelli will explore ways that adults who have a history of adverse childhood experiences can learn to make sense of their own struggles and begin a process of healing with self-awareness\, compassion\, and safe re-connection in present relationships. Kate will explain and demonstrate how to approach charged schemas\, emotions and sensations in a manner that reduces sympathetic arousal\, overwhelm\, and helplessness while increasing clients’ capacity to negotiate stress and trauma. She will also offer practical recommendations on how to use the therapeutic relationship itself to help individuals with developmental trauma to restore control and power that creates safety\, allows for remembrance and mourning\, and promotes reconnection with everyday life.

SUMMARY:Awake\, Alert and Aware: Improving Latinx services begins with Me
DESCRIPTION:What does it mean to be a member of the Latinx community? This workshop encourages participants to examine cultural biases and assumptions that can contribute to treating a community of individuals as “other\,” including when this stance comes from a place of ethical compassion. Ivy Hooper will draw from her extensive practice with members of the Latinx community and share powerful observations of unique strengths and challenges within its members. She will also emphasize the multiplicity of experiences within this community\, diverse in: language\, heritage\, citizenship\, nationality\, ethnicity\, race\, residency\, generation\, as well as layers of individual experience. Participants will also engage in practices of self-examination and a nonjudgmental stance that applies more broadly to working with the diversity of individuals outside of the dominant paradigm.

SUMMARY:Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) with Trauma
DESCRIPTION:Acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) offers an empirically validated approach to the treatment of PTSD and other trauma-related symptoms like unwanted thoughts\, feelings\, memories\, and nightmares. Trauma survivors often work to avoid these experiences as well as trauma-related situations and cues. Narratives about the self as “damaged” or “broken\,” or that their presence can taint others are common in survivors of trauma\, and these stories can narrowly define who individuals are and thus how they can act in the world. It is a common misconception that healing from trauma means being able to remove oneself from the trauma and “leave it behind.” This workshop will teach from the ACT approach\, which does nearly the opposite—it explores how to make room for difficult memories\, feelings\, urges\, and thoughts as part of living a value-guided and deeply meaningful life. Dr. Plumb Vilardaga will explain\, model\, and demonstrate the ACT approach as it relates to trauma work. Participants will learn from a mix of didactic and experiential exercises using “real” role plays (asking attendees to tap into their own thoughts\, feelings\, memories\, and reactions as fellow humans) to encourage and deepen emotional experiencing and cognitive flexibility\, and particularly as it applies to individuals with a history of adversity.

SUMMARY:The Accountable Clinician: Sitting with culture and power differentials in therapy
DESCRIPTION:Identity is a complex and multifaceted construct. In this lecture\, Dr. Carmen Crosby will explore ways that the context of culture creates inherent power dynamics\, which influence actual and perceived power within the therapeutic alliance. Dr. Crosby will encourage us to deepen our therapeutic work by considering specific elements of identity affecting our clients and ourselves. Finally\, Dr. Crosby will present ways to leverage power imbalances in session\, illustrating the applications of this approach with examples from work with survivors of domestic violence and sexual assault.

SUMMARY:39th Annual Minority Health Conference: Reclaiming the Narrative
DESCRIPTION:This year’s theme\, Reclaiming the Narrative\, is based in the recognition that the world is organized by the stories we tell. Stories have the power to influence the way we view ourselves and others and have the power to shape our actions. Given this sometimes unacknowledged influence\, we must ask who are the storytellers\, and who benefits from these narratives. The answers to these questions can offer an understanding of how we as public health professionals can progress and push public health agendas forward in a meaningful way. This year’s theme challenges us to end perpetuation of damaging rhetoric against marginalized communities. It highlights how resilient communities have fought to speak truth to power and refused to have their voices silenced and how public health practitioners can join such efforts. By reclaiming the narrative\, communities and public health practitioners can reconcile the past and present and take agency in the future to promote health for all people.

SUMMARY:Why Black Lives Don't Matter: Rethinking the Origins of the USA
DESCRIPTION:Yes\, this year’s lecture has a provocative title — “Why Black Lives Don’t Matter: Rethinking the Origins of the USA.”  It is based upon the extensive and meticulous research of our lecturer for 2018\, Gerald C. Horne. The lecturer this year is a brilliant and prize-winning scholar who can and will deliver one of our most memorable lectures of our annual series of  UNC-Chapel Hill’s African American History Month Lectures on February 21\, 2018.  Gerald C. Horne is an internationally acclaimed scholar and author of the The Counter-Revolution of 1776.  Dozens of books ago\, Horne was a  member of the Carolina faculty\, but he is now the Moores Distinguished Professor at the University of Houston and we are excited about his return to us as a prolific author and highly respected historian and public intellectual.   We have planned his appearance on “The State of Things” for 20 February.  Perhaps you and your constituents would like to mark your calendars so that you will be able to hear Professor Horne at Noon the day before the lecture.  Following the lecture there will be plenty of time for questions.  The University will host its traditional reception and book-signing for Professor Horne. There will be\, as well\, a book-signing opportunity for persons to purchase works of a special honored guest\, Colin Palmer. Professor Palmer is one of the world’s leading scholars in African Diasporic scholarship and was the first African American to serve as a chairperson of  any department in UNC’s College of Arts and Sciences.

SUMMARY:The Relevance of Dialectical Behavioral Therapy to Trauma Work
DESCRIPTION:Individuals who have experienced trauma\, particularly complex trauma\, often present with a wide range of difficulties that do not fit neatly into standard or uniform case formulations. Dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT) offers an effective transdiagnostic treatment for the sequelae of trauma\, that can include dysregulation of emotions\, cognitions\, behavior\, interpersonal and self. The power of DBT comes from its well-articulated theory\, protocol\, and multiple strategies that allow for thoughtful and genuine therapeutic collaboration\, and its simultaneous embrace of acceptance-validation and cognitive-behavioral change strategies. DBT has been found to be effective in helping people who experience intense emotional suffering and maladaptive coping skills to “create a life that’s worth living.” \nIn this workshop\, Debbie and Robin will introduce the foundational knowledge of DBT and demonstrate how to apply DBT to work with a heterogeneous and complex population of individuals\, including individuals with complex trauma histories. They will review empirical support for DBT\, introduce core principles of DBT treatment\, the assumptions and agreements about therapy in DBT\, the structure of DBT treatment\, explain the transactional biosocial processes that underlie pervasive dysregulation\, and the skills that clients learn in DBT. They will also focus specifically on trauma treatment fits within the parameters and stages of DBT\, including information on cutting edge interventions. Participants will learn through a combination of didactic material\, role-plays\, and experiential activities for a full-bodied understanding of applying DBT in their therapeutic practice. \nAs a comprehensive treatment\, DBT can: \nDecrease the frequency and severity of self-destructive behaviors.\nIncrease the motivation to change by providing positive reinforcement.\nTeach “coping skills” that generalize to a person’s environment.\nProvide a treatment environment that emphasizes the strengths of both individuals and their treatments.\nEnhance the therapist’s motivation and ability to treat clients effectively.

SUMMARY:Film Screening: Paper Tigers
DESCRIPTION:This documentary examines how an alternative high school in a rural community works with youth struggling with adverse childhood experiences (ACEs). The film explores what it means to be a trauma-informed school. We won’t have time for a panel discussion\, but Ginny Strand will provide a brief introduction to the topic of trauma-informed systems and strategies before the movie. The film screening is open to everyone\, so please share widely.  \nAlso\, there will be a brief introduction of the new UNC Child Maltreatment Research & Practice Network. This is a student-led group to bring together researchers and practitioners at all levels interested in child maltreatment. This group will meet regularly to discuss the latest research in our field and what it means for practice. All are welcome. The first meeting will follow-up on the film with a discussion of research on trauma-informed practice. The attached handout has more information about this group.
