We exist so that we can give feedback and critiques to systems, announce what isn’t working, and to solve problems collectively.

As CCSI in response to COVID-19, we are following the guidance of the Department of Health & Mental Hygiene (DOHMH) broadly. Here’s a Coronavirus fact sheet! And a Stop The Spread flyer. In general, if you are part of a vulnerable population, you should be trying to create ‘social distance’ by greatly reducing how much time you have to be around large groups of people.

VIRTUAL TRAINING: What's Up with Teens? Understanding Typical Adolescent Development
2020-04-21 10:00 - 12:00 | NY, United States
This training has been moved to a virtual Zoom platform as a part of COVID-19 response.

What’s Up with Teens?

Understanding Typical Adolescent Development
ON ZOOM VIA VIDEO & PHONE:
Tuesday April 21st, 2020: 10am – 12pm
REGISTER ON ZOOM HERE: https://vibrant.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_dG7hm6UwQgum13QwyD5vaQ

Target Audience: BBC Members & All public community members
Description:
Interacting with teens and young adults can be fun… and challenging! Have you ever been frustrated with a teen’s strong need to challenge authority and question rules? Does it feel like you are on an emotional roller coaster with some of your youth? Do you want more strategies for addressing challenging behaviors when they arise? Join us to learn more about this adolescence, the incredible period of growth from childhood to adulthood.
Adolescence is a time of immense change in the life cycle. Hormones are shifting, bodies are growing, and moods are swinging! Sometimes understanding the layers of change happening in the adolescent mind and body can be hard for the adults in their lives to understand or relate to. This session will serve as an introduction to the dynamic shifts that define adolescence and provide you with skills for effectively responding to challenging behaviors.
Participants will be able to:

Define typical adolescence
Identify developmental tasks of adolescence and make connections to youth behavior
Recognize signs that youth may be experiencing a mental health crisis
Learn strategies to respond to challenging behaviors in developmentally-appropriate ways

CANCELED: Brooklyn Borough Based Council Meeting
2020-04-24 10:00 - 12:00 | NY, United States
In light of the Mayor’s announcement that all NYC DOE Public schools are closed through April 20th, at least, CCSI has to cancel what would have been our BKBBC April 24th in-person meeting. We are aware of how schools closing impacts all families considering additional work and homeschool scheduling adjustments in the midst of social distancing mandates from the city in light of COVID-19. Please take care of yourselves! We know the transition out of quarantines will make it more challenging for people to come in person for April 2020.
As CCSI, we are following the guidance of the Department of Health & Mental Hygiene (DOHMH) broadly. Here’s a Coronavirus fact sheet! And a Stop The Spread flyer. In general, if you are part of a vulnerable population, you should be trying to create ‘social distance’ by greatly reducing how much time you have to be around large groups of people.
We will be in touch further this week and in the coming weeks to let you know what events and meetings have been cancelled and what creative alternatives to in-person BBC meetings will be available. Thank you so much for being a part of this community. We will find ways to stay connected!

VIRTUAL TRAINING - Listen. Protect. Connect. Psychological First Aid
2020-05-01 13:00 - 15:00 | NY, United States
Listen Protect Connect: Psychological First Aid

May 1st, 2020, 1 pm to 3 pm
Location: Zoom Webinar Register at: https://vibrant.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_plM4LjFjQCuNi95NPFa0Cw

In lieu of our originally scheduled Adult Mental health First Aid 8 hour curriculum session, we are holding a 2 hour training session on Psychological First Aid!
Target Audience: BBC Members & All public community members
Description:
We all want to help when disaster strikes, but often, we don’t quite know the most helpful ways to support someone who has experienced a disaster.
Listen, Protect and Connect (LPC) is a psychological first aid (PFA) model that was developed specifically for use by anyone working with community members to enhance resilience in the aftermath of catastrophic events and more local emergencies such as community violence.
LPC is endorsed by SAMHSA as a Disaster Recovery Resource. The model helps ensure non-mental health responders have the skills and confidence to intervene with families, children, individuals and communities in the aftermath of traumatic events. This model supports victims, builds community resiliency and fosters responder-to-responder peer support.

Facilitated By: Lisa Furst, LMSW, MPH, Vibrant Emotional Health

CCSI Understanding & Unpacking Trauma Training Series
2020-06-09 17:00 - 19:00
The Coordinated Children’s Services Initiative of NYC, in collaboration with Brooklyn’s own ReForum Consulting presents:

Understanding & Unpacking Trauma Training Series
3 2-hour virtual sessions from 5-7 pm on TUESDAYS June 9th, 16th, & 23rd 2020
REGISTER ON ZOOM

Session 1 – June 9th from 5-7 PM Pandemic Trauma
A discussion surrounding the mental health consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic and tools for coping. As we consider how COVID-19 may impact our society, we must consider both the medical and societal mental health consequences, including collective trauma. Having a set plan for responding to mental health needs, is just as important as a plan for protecting ones medical and physical health.
Session 2 – June 16th from 5-7 PM Coping with COVID-19: An Ode to Self-Care
The COVID-19 pandemic can feel overwhelming due to uncertainty, new information, navigating working from home, and caring for your family and yourself. It is normal to feel fearful, anxious, stressed or overwhelmed during uncertain times. Not all of us will respond to the stress of this pandemic in the same way. But what we ALL need to do is practice a lot of self-care. Whether you are taking advantage of this time to just be still or crossing items off of your to-do-list, we all are learning new ways of being. Taking care of yourself is important so you are equipped to help your family through this time. In this workshop we discuss the entire spectrum of self-care and various practical ways for us to take care of ourselves considering our current circumstances.
Session 3 – June 23rd from 5-7 PM Urban Grief & Loss
Increased stress and anxiety are common responses to the coronavirus outbreak. These responses can be more acute for communities predisposed to trauma, because often they are already contending with other mental health stressors. It is important to continue ongoing efforts to understand why black persons are disproportionately impacted by COVID-19, including the role of social and economic factors in infection risk. In this workshop we discuss the traumatic loss and grief in urban communities, the disproportionate impact of this disease on racial and ethnic minority communities, social factors that put these communities in a disadvantaged place to respond to an epidemic and to recover from diseases, and resiliency factors.
