| The rapid expansion of mobile technology infrastructure presents an opportunity to improve health and health care through text messaging. Text messaging can be a safe, clinically promising, and feasible tool to augment care for individuals with mental health concerns. Recognizing the potential of text messaging to improve health and health care, this 2-part webinar series will review the technical and administrative requirements for the ethical and HIPAA compliant use of text messaging. | |
| About the Presenter: Roy Huggins was an independent web developer for many years before making the transition to a therapy private practice. He quickly found that the mental health profession needed expert guidance on technology topics. Since 2010, Roy has continuously worked to expand his understanding of his colleagues’ needs and stay up-to-date with the ever-evolving digital world, teach ethics at Portland State University and consult on issues relating to technology in therapy practice. | |

Knowing and understanding the autonomic nervous system can help us identify the process of stress in our bodies and can help us to help young people with self regulation and even healing from trauma.
Stress affects all of us, especially now more than ever. It can be helpful to have a deeper understanding of the neurobiology of stress and our nervous system. Knowing and understanding the autonomic nervous system can help us identify the process of stress in our bodies and can help us to help young people with self regulation and even healing from trauma.
The mind/body connection is deeper and more important to attend to in our work, especially when young people may not have the language to articulate their feelings and experiences.
The goals for this webinar are to:
- Provide an evolutionary and developmental perspective of the neurophysiology of stress in the body
- Shift the focus from “you” to us”
- Understand the role of primary caregiver training in addressing self regulation in youth in our care.
Learning Objectives
The event is intended to increase provider confidence in understanding and incorporating into your practice the following learning objectives:
- Recognizing the presentation, diagnosis, comorbidity, neurobiology, and current treatment options available for youth with ADHD.
- Comparing depression in youth, and evaluating the treatment options for children and adolescents, including an assessment of the black box warning for SSRIs.
- Differentiating common anxiety disorders, and describing their assessment and treatment.
- Recognizing the presentation of trauma and aggression behaviors that require treatment, and evaluating the treatment options for children and adolescents.
- Defining pediatric bipolar disorder, and providing examples of effective evidence-based therapies.

Why Mental Health First Aid?
Mental Health First Aid teaches you how to identify, understand and respond to signs of mental illness and substance use disorders. This 8-hour training gives you the skills you need to reach out and provide initial support to someone who may be developing a mental health or substance use problem and help connect them to the appropriate care.
Mental Health First Aid USA was introduced in the United States in 2008 and continues to grow in relevance and popularity. The intent of Mental Health First Aid USA is to provide the public with skills to help individuals who are developing a mental health problem or experiencing a mental health crisis. Participants of MHFA-USA will learn how to assess harm to self and others resulting from mental illness, listen while refraining from judgment, manage an acute mental health crisis, discuss local mental health resources and recommend evidence-based self-help strategies for people living with mental illness.
