What Does Lived Experience Really Mean and Why Is It Important?. Year Developed: 2023. Source: The Northwest Mental Health Technology Transfer Center Network. Presenter(s): Pat Deegan, PhD. Type: Webinar. Level: Introductory. Length: 92 minutes.

Annotation: The phrase "lived experience" is widely used in behavioral health, but what does it really mean? Is lived-experience a code word meaning “former mental patient”? Isn’t all experience, “lived experience” and therefore isn’t “lived experience” redundant? Can a clinician have lived experience? In this webinar, Pat Deegan will explore the origins of “lived experience” in philosophy and its migration into behavioral health. She will argue that lived experience introduces a new way of knowing that can complement, and at times disrupt, the clinical world view. The Northwest Mental Health Technology Transfer Center is committed to ensuring digital accessibility. We are continually improving the user experience for everyone and applying the relevant accessibility standards.

Learning Objectives: • What does lived experience really mean? • Lived experience is important because it is a source of wisdom that can be helpful to others. • Lived experience is important because it is another way of knowing.

Serving on Groups That Make Decisions: A Guide for Families. Year Developed: 2023. Source: WI FACETS. Presenter(s): Jan Serak. Type: Webinar. Level: Introductory. Length: 60 minutes per training.

Annotation: Sections 1 & 2: Do you want to join or become more involved in a committee or council, but are not sure where to begin or which group would be a good fit for you? Do you wonder what the different functions are of decision-making groups and what the members' roles are within these groups? Serving on Groups is a nationally recognized leadership tool that empowers parents to actively and fully participate in decision-making groups. Section 3: The most effective groups use processes to guide their work, and a clear process sets the direction toward the group's goals. So many times, we are on committees or in meetings but don't know what is supposed to happen or how to fully participate. Sections 4 & 5: Are you a member of a committee or council that needs to be more efficient? What makes a committee or council effective? How can group dynamics improve? Section 6: So many times, we are on committees or in meetings but don't know what the process is or how to fully participate, especially when it comes to data. This introductory webinar on data is based on the Serving on Groups that Make Decisions Guidebook resource. The highlight of the revised Guidebook is a section entitled Understanding Data as Information. We live in a world with more available data than ever before. In education, using data is a powerful tool to determine if schools’ efforts are working and if students are meeting their goals. This section provides eight steps to assist you and other group members in making well-informed data-based decisions to improve the experiences of children. It also contains numerous resources for you to access and explore relevant data for your family and community. Sections 7 & 8: Do you want to be more involved in a decision-making group but are not sure where to begin? Are you tired of feeling like the token representative instead of an active member of a decision-making group?

To Trust or Not To Trust: Understanding the Science of Developing and Nurturing Trust in Family Professional Partnerships. Year Developed: 2021. Source: The Center for Appropriate Dispute Resolution in Special Education. Presenter(s): Tracy Gershwin, Ph.D.. BCBA-D. Type: Webinar. Level: Intermediate. Length: 84 minutes.

Annotation: This webinar provides attendees with a roadmap for understanding the science of trust, including strategies that can both develop, nurture, and repair trust between families and professionals. It outlines how researchers have documented new, ongoing, and growing conflict between families of students with disabilities and the professionals who serve them. The presenter explains that the majority of these challenges begin with a lack of trust, that has either never existed in the partnership or deteriorated as a result of a breakdown in communication, incompatible goals, and/or misunderstanding between parties. The webinar reinforces that trust is one of the most commonly mentioned partnership barriers discussed in the literature. Despite this acknowledgment of trust, the science of understanding, developing and nurturing trust is rarely defined, or described in a way that supports conflict prevention or resolution between families and professionals.

Learning Objectives: • Define trust for the family-professional partnership. • Understand the importance of trust. • Identify the barriers to trust. • Describe the relationship between trust and conflict. • Apply strategies used to develop and nurture trust.
