diy temporary tattoo eyeliner | El Paso County Focusing on Acquired Brain Injury

,

diy temporary tattoo eyeliner


In 2010, the Texas Juvenile Justice Department (TJJD) in collaboration with the Office of Acquired Brain Injury (OABI), piloted a program to identify youth involved in the justice system that may have presented with an undiagnosed traumatic brain injury (TBI).  The collaboration between TJJD and the OABI established objectives to identify justice-involved youth with a TBI utilizing the Brain Injury Screening Questionnaire (BISQ) in an effort to provide “pathways to services” designed to reduce recidivism, foster healthier individuals and improve cognitive and emotional regulation skills.

Through the collaboration developed between the TJJD and the OABI, the El Paso County Juvenile Justice Center was able to develop a partnership with Dr. Wayne Gordon at Mount Sinai School of Medicine’s Brain Injury Research Center.  The partnership was designed to afford services to justice-involved youth identified with a TBI.  Through this collaborative effort the development of the Youth Short Term Executive Plus Program (YSTEP) was designed.

The program is based on an adult model developed by and used at Mt. Sinai’s Brain Injury Research Center which has been modified and formatted for an adolescent population through the application of cognitive behavioral strategies coupled with dialectical behavior therapy mindfulness skills.  It is designed to facilitate the development of executive functioning in adolescents as well as develop that have been identified as possibly having a traumatic brain injury through the administration of the BISQ and/or youth that have demonstrated a history of poor problem solving and/or self regulating skills.

The El Paso program focuses on providing group services utilizing the YSTEP curriculum to youth court-ordered into the Challenge Academy, which is a secure post adjudication para-military style program that offers supportive residential drug treatment services and youth court order to Intensive Supervised Probation under the Serious Habitual Offenders Comprehensive Action Program (SHOCAP).   Both populations have been identified as having a higher likelihood of exposure to activities that may enhance the likelihood of a TBI (i.e. history of abuse, assaults, substance use, etc) as well as a higher rate of recidivism based on identified risk factors and limited protective factors.

The YSTEP program is conducted in 10 -12 sessions with each session building upon the previous week’s lesson.  Sessions may range from one to two hours depending on the modalities used (i.e. role play, in vivo activities, coupled with didactic therapy) and programming structure (youth placed in a secure environment vs. community based youth).  Youth participating in the YSTEP program are taught techniques and strategies to aid in understanding how the emotional cycle impacts outcomes and behaviors; to recognize triggering events, thoughts, emotions, sensations and behaviors that contribute to a loss of emotional control as well as poor decision making and or problems solving experiences in an effort to strengthen their understanding of causal relationships.

Lessons include Identifying Triggers and Understanding Anger; Understanding and Exploring Sensations;  Relaxation Strategies and Techniques; Thoughts and Thinking Errors and How they Impact Choices and Outcomes;  Thinking and the Decision Making Process; Understanding Consequences, Outcomes & Behaviors; Types of Communication & Effective Communication Strategies  and the Emotional Cycle as well as Integrating Strategies to Effectively Cope with Difficult Situations.

Although a program evaluation through data analysis being conducted by Dr. Gordon and his team at Mt. Sinai is pending, the lack of resources to address cognitive deficits and emotional regulation issues has sparked interest in the implementation and/or replication of the YSTEP program.  In August 2014, Rebecca Derocher with the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) conducted a site visit at the El Paso County Juvenile Justice Center to review the program and protocols in place.  Interest in implementing the program has also been demonstrated by the country of New Zealand and more recently discussion have occurred with the HRSA TBI Grant Coordinator for the Alabama Department of Rehabilitative Services Ms. Augusta Cash with regards to implementing a program for justice involved youth in Alabama.

On September 17th, 2015,  McLennan County State Juvenile Correctional Facility opened its Education doors to parents.  Students and parents took a tour of vocational buildings to learn about our Welding, Horticultural Science, and Principles of Agricultural classes.

After their tour, parents visited throughout the school and, for many of them, this was their first opportunity to visit face-to-face with their youth’s teachers and administrators. In many of the classrooms, student work was posted so parents could view what students are learning and the expectations that teachers have for them.

diy tattoo fading | NIH also improves access for parents teachers and Spanish language readers

Bethesda, Maryland--(ENEWSPF)--October 21, 2013.  Teens — and adults who care for them — can now find answers to questions about drug abuse and addiction more easily, and through smartphones and tablets. Spanish language versions of easy to understand resources on drug abuse and addiction are now also available. The updates, announced today by the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA), part of the National Institutes of Health, are being launched as part of National Substance Abuse Prevention Month  events in October.

For teens, their parents and teachers, NIDA has upgraded its popular teen website to a “responsive design” model that automatically adjusts to fit the viewer’s screen for better viewing through smartphones and tablets.
The new design is also more engaging, with larger, more vibrant buttons that link directly to resources that provide answers to questions and concerns related to drug abuse in adolescents. The teen site continues to house free, interactive resources such as its teen blog and PEERx, an online educational initiative to discourage abuse of prescription drugs among teens.

In addition to the redesigned teen site, NIDA’s improved Parents and Educators page makes it easier for caregivers and teachers to find free, scientifically based prevention and education resources. Examples include Family Checkup — a tool for talking with children about drugs — as well as the latest science-based information on the health effects and consequences of drug abuse. Teachers can also find free resources for elementary, middle and high school students, including examples of classroom-based science experiments from the NIH Lab Challenge.

To reach adults with limited literacy skills, NIDA’s Easy-to-Read website now includes Spanish-language versions of its Drug Facts pages; its What is Addiction? section; as well as two easy to understand videos explaining the science behind drug addiction.

In October, parents, youth, schools, businesses and community leaders across the country join together in recognizing the role that substance abuse prevention plays in promoting safe and healthy communities. National Substance Abuse Prevention Month, which began in 2011, is organized by the White House’s Office of National Drug Control Policy (ONDCP).

“By using improved Web and handheld device strategies to distribute research findings, we can reach a broader audience,” said NIDA Director Dr. Nora D. Volkow. “NIDA is launching these tools during National Substance Abuse Prevention Month and will continue to translate the science to guide effective prevention and education efforts in homes and communities.”

For more information on drug prevention, see NIDA’s Preventing Drug Abuse among Children and Adolescents at www.drugabuse.gov/publications/preventing-drug-abuse-among-children-adolescents.  To find out how to get involved in National Substance Abuse Prevention Month, visit www.whitehouse.gov/ondcp/prevention-intro/prevention-month .

The National Institute on Drug Abuse is a component of the National Institutes of Health, U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. NIDA supports most of the world’s research on the health aspects of drug abuse and addiction. The Institute carries out a large variety of programs to inform policy and improve practice. Fact sheets on the health effects of drugs of abuse and information on NIDA research and other activities can be found on the NIDA home page at http://www.drugabuse.gov, which is now compatible with your smartphone, iPad or tablet.
