TABLE OFCONTENTS

Welcome to the 32nd Annual Texas Council Conference in Galveston, Texas!

Surrounded by the inviting setting of the beachside Moody Gardens Hotel and

Convention Center, participants will join lively discussions and gain valuable insights through an agenda filled with legislative updates, national and state perspectives, topics that showcase

Community Center initiatives and recovery-based learning opportunities.

This year’s program is filled with an array of continuing education opportunities for clinicians (nurses, doctors, psychologists, licensed marriage and family therapists, licensed professional counselors, social workers), attorneys, accountants and credits for peer specialists.

Featured speakers this year are sure to reignite your spirit! Guaranteed to get audiences out of their chairs, Stephanie Staples brings humor, wisdom and infectious energy to share tips on how to proactively achieve personal growth and success.

Notable recovery-based speaker and trainer Gina Calhoun will share her inspi-rational journey from long-term institutionalization to active community citizen-ship and teach us how to garner hope through supportive relationships. I invite you to enjoy the sun, sand and all the delights of Galveston Island as we gather as a system of care to make connections, exchange expertise and find ways to ensure a better future on behalf of the people, families, and communi-ties we serve.

As our Host Center, the Gulf Coast Center deserves our heartfelt gratitude for dedicating their hearts and minds to making this a spectacular conference. Thank you to our sponsors and exhibitors who are generously supporting the conference.

May the next few days present you with many opportunities for learning, laugh-ter, and a bit of time in the island sun!

Sincerely,

Sheriff Dennis Wilson, ChairBoard of Directors, Texas Council of Community Centers

When a recovery model meets a medical model, there can be some friction. How do we keep true to our peer work in this environment? How can we be change agents and inspire cooperation? How can Peer Specialists and Family Partners unite to build a bond for the people we serve and organizations we work for while moving the recovery movement forward?

At the Summit, we will have frank discussions to look for answers to these questions and unite to support each other as we move forward.• Wayne Mullan, CPS, Center for Life Resources• Lakisha Washington, CPS, MHMR Tarrant• Shea Meadows, CFP, The Harris Center for Mental Health and IDD• Stormy Holifield, CFP, Metrocare Services• Facilitator: Cindy Gibson, Advocate Supervisor, Disability Rights Texas

Cindy Hopkins Gibson is one of the pioneers of the Texas consumer movement. As the Direc-tor of Texas Mental Health Consumers in the 1990s, she began the conversation for peers in the state system. Then going to work for the state as Director of Consumer Affairs, she strengthened the movement, and in the early 2000s, Community Centers began hiring Peer Service Coordina-tors. Today, Gibson serves with Disability Rights Texas and continues to ensure the voice of Peers is heard.

Fractured Lives…Using EMDR to Put the Pieces Back TogetherTraumatic life experiences impact a person in a multitude of ways, but a person’s response to such adversity is influ-enced by many factors, including social supports, coping skills, and cognitive function. According to a 2012 National Survey of Abuse of Individuals with Disabilities, 70% of individuals with IDD (Intellectual & Developmental Disability) have experienced abuse in some form – but cognitive deficits and impairments make it more difficult for individuals with IDD to express trauma they have experienced. Learn about why Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) Therapy has been endorsed by The Arc as a recommended counseling intervention for individuals with IDD, and how it can allow individuals to process the past in order to see hope for the future. • James Turnage, MA, LPC-S, Director of Support for Disability Services, MHMR Tarrant• Robert McGowen, MBA, MMFT, LPC, Assistant Director – Veteran Services, MHMR Tarrant

Mental Health Resources at your FingertipsOwning a smart phone has become a primary source of reference, entertainment and community connection for 95% of Americans. This includes 99% of Americans 30-49 years of age and 100% of ages 18-29. Today just over one in ten American adults are "smartphone-only" internet users - meaning they own a smartphone, but do not have traditional home broadband service. So how does a behavioral health company position itself to provide accurate mental health and substance abuse information and resources? Simply put, "We have an app for that!" • Antonisha Bennett, Special Initiatives Strategist, The Center for Health Care Services

Staff Performance: Creating a Motivating and Rewarding Work EnvironmentTurnover in the human services field is high, particularly when it comes to direct care staff. Beyond the high cost of employees leaving a company, turnover poses several challenges to managers and agencies with limited resources. These challenges include loss of revenues, high staff stress, coverage for job duties, and time spent finding a replace-ment. The presenter will explore methods and techniques to create a motivating work environment and to retain staff in a direct service field.• Sarah Loera, MS, BCBA, Program Manager, Metrocare Services

Recommended for participants interested in managed care topics. Health Plans are increasingly incentivized to contract with and reward providers who deliver high-quality and cost-efficient care. Value based purchasing (VBP) is an alternative payment methodology based on identifying and rewarding effective and cost-efficient care to a specific clinical condition, care episode, or a population. With their focus on, and success with, serving specialty populations, Community Mental Health Centers can position themselves in partnerships with health plans to develop value based pur-chasing agreements that will support and sustain their mission. This presentation will provide informa-tion about the structure of value based purchasing arrangements and how Community Mental Health Centers can position themselves to partner with health plans for VBP.• Bren Manaugh, LCSW, CPHQ, Principal, Health Management Associates

Peer professionals from The Harris Center will present two perspectives of recovery-oriented peer services within the agency. One perspective will focus on the purpose and value of peer professionals within the peer provision program in an outpatient setting. Presenters will bring unique insight as to the various activ-ities, groups and events that are coordinated within the outpatient clinics as well as the collaboration that exists between various members of the treatment team. In the second perspective, the Person-centered, Engaging, Empowering, Recovery-oriented Support for Hope House staff will share the mission, vision, and philosophy of a hospital diversion program and offer insight into the opportunities and rewards of working in such a program. As the only Peer Crisis Respite currently operating in the state of Texas, the P.E.E.R.S. for Hope House offers Houston residents a recovery-based alternative to psychiatric hospitalization. • Stephanie Jack, CART, CPS, WRAP Facilitator and Peer Bridger, The Harris Center for Mental Health and IDD• Kenneth Ogden, CPS, Peer Navigator, The Harris Center for Mental Health and IDD• Letrice Dennis, CPS, Peer Bridger, The Harris Center for Mental Health and IDD• Jesus Halvorsen, Peer Educator, The Harris Center for Mental Health and IDD

In supporting an individual with IDD, the goal is to provide services that allow the individual to live as inde-pendently as possible and to be able to pursue their wants, wishes and desires. When considering the areas of life that a person may find fulfilling, the area of sexual preference and sexual activity is often overlooked or ignored for individuals with IDD. The goal of creating a sexual preference and sexual identity scale is to help individuals, families and providers to have a clearer sense of how to address and discuss these issues, which is critical in supporting individuals they work and care for, and also removes some of the stigma as-sociated with sexual behavior. This is a continuation of work begun in developing a scale for individuals with IDD.• Dr. David Duran, PhD, Psychologist, Integral Care• Jody Gardner, MS, Crisis Respite Center Team Lead, Integral CareLearning Objectives1. Implement an assessment scale to assist an individual with intellectual and developmental disability

in articulating his or her sexual preference and identity.2. Identify ethical dilemmas that arise when addressing sexual identity with an individual with intellec-

However, the needs associated with IDD continue and, in some cases, become more pronounced.

MHMR Tarrant became part of a larger Trauma-Informed Care (TIC) Learning Community in 2015. As the Center embarked on this journey to achieve success in all TIC Learning Community domains, they quickly realized one size does not fit all. Each Service Division within their agency needed to adapt the training and domain implementation to meet its specific needs. An agency wide Trauma Team worked in concert, identifying end goals and outcomes, while allowing for unique nuances, depending on individual needs. Presenters will share MHMR Tarrant’s approach, successes, challenges and future goals that ensure Trauma-Informed Care becomes a part of their culture and daily life.• Lisa Boone-Reddick, MA, Director of Training and Development, MHMR Tarrant• Dr. Michael Parker, PhD, START IDD Clinical Director, MHMR Tarrant• Meghan Glovier, MS, EIS, Clinical Director, ECI of North Central Texas, MHMR Tarrant• Katie Barr, LMSW, Trauma-Informed Care Coordinator, MHMR Tarrant

FRANK M. ADAMS AWARDS

The Frank M. Adams Outstanding Volunteer Service Award was established in 1990 in honor of the late Frank M. Adams, a founding member of the Texas Council of Community Centers.

The Adams Award is presented in three categories: Individual, Community Group and Media. The award recognizes a level of volunteerism that is representative of long-term commitment and is exceptional and far-reaching in scope, diversified in effort, and over and above that which is recognized at the local level.

outStandinG individual volunteer ServiCe MARJORIE "MS. B" BONIFACE BALZ

Marjorie Boniface Balz, called “Ms. B” by the children she works with, has tirelessly served for over 65 years as a volunteer and community organizer to enhance the lives of the people around her, especially the lives of those with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD). Even as “Ms. B” raised her children, worked full-time at Central Counties Services, and pursued a master’s degree in Psychology, she continued to volunteer in activities for individuals with disabilities.

Her efforts have directly contributed to the establishment of summer camps, weekly community activities, walk-a-thons, bike-a-thons, swimming pools, and much more. Several community projects co-founded by her, including Camp Funshine, Clark Pool for the handicapped, and Fun Night have been in place for over 40 years.

Ms. B’s ability to see the “big picture” for persons with intellectual disabilities and her commitment to commu-nity organization have contributed to the enhancement of hundreds of lives. She has struck partnerships with organizations across the county, such as Temple ISD, University of Mary Hardin-Baylor, American Legion, The Arc of Bell County, and the Temple Parks and Recreation Department to create welcoming community spaces and lasting programs for individuals with IDD.

Ms. B’s heartfelt service, passion for advocacy, and devotion to the community inspire all who meet her. Her lifetime of work has yielded a community-wide love and respect for who she is and what she has accom-plished, and at nearly age 94, she continues to volunteer today. Central Counties Services believes Ms. B truly deserves the honor of a Frank M. Adams Award, for a lifetime of giving to her friends.

Nominated by Annette Gary, StarCare Speciality Health System

For StarCare Specialty Health System, the dream of developing a collaborative program focused on improving treatment and conditions for incarcerated individuals with mental illness, substance use disorders, and intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD) was brought to life by a supportive and lasting partnership with the Lubbock Sheriff’s Office (LSO).

The collaboration began by providing mental health education for LSO officers, allowing them to effectively accompany StarCare crisis team members in the field, performing mental health evaluations and facilitating hospital admissions. In 2013, StarCare and the LSO were united under one roof – the Special Needs Pod was opened at the Lubbock County Detention Center to specifically house vulnerable individuals who need safe, therapeutic, and treatment-centered environment during their incarceration. StarCare mental health providers imbedded within the jail program work side-by-side with officers to screen each person arrested and provide appropriate treatment as necessary. The program is funded entirely by Lubbock County and continues to operate today at no cost to HHSC or StarCare.

This important project would never have been possible without the vision and extensive efforts of LSO leadership: Lubbock County Sheriff, Kelly Rowe; Chief Deputy of Detention, Cody Scott; and Assistant Chief Deputy of Detention, Kim Howell. Their recognition of need, their belief that people with mental illness, substance use disorders and IDD deserve and have the right to treatment and appropriate care while incarcerated, and their willingness to work long hours to convince local and state political entities about the need for this type of collaborative program were instrumental and invaluable in moving the project from dream to reality.

StarCare Specialty Health System recognizes the Lubbock Sheriff’s Office and its leadership for their support and exemplary, ongoing work in service to community. From the beginning, they have clearly strived to not only obtain necessary funding for the project, but to change the way people with mental illness are treated in the criminal justice system, to reduce stigma, and to do the right thing for Lubbock County citizens.

outStandinG media volunteer ServiCe kTRE-Tv

Based out of Lufkin, KTRE –TV is the only local television sta-tion for Deep East Texas, covering a viewing population of 11 counties. Local coverage of the East Texas community is a cornerstone of the station’s mission.

KTRE’s “Survivors” series highlights members of the local community and the challenging obstacles they have over-come in life. KTRE journalists work to uncover the obstacles in a compassionate way and then discuss how and why the survivors overcame their struggles. Every story ends with a life lesson that may provide hope and promise for someone coping with a similar obstacle.

KTRE has aired Survivors every week since September of 2015 in the highly rated 10 pm News segment. Burke approached KTRE with the idea of focusing on East Texans that live with intellectual and developmental dis-abilities or are managing mental health and substance use disorder challenges. Since 2016, Burke has helped KTRE identify local residents with inspiring stories and introduce them to reporters. This allows the reporters to find and develop powerful stories while providing the “heroes” a trusted and confidential advocate.

All stories are cross-promoted on KTRE and Burke websites and social media channels. Survivor stories have excellent engagement on social media and are often shared. KTRE’s 10 pm news reaches an average of 10,000 people every day across the region, and its Facebook is 90,000 “Likes” strong. KTRE is helping Burke share that real people are affected by these issues, help is available, and hope for survival is real.

Burke is grateful to the staff of KTRE for their service to the East Texas community and for carrying our mis-sion to spread compassion and understanding for mental illness, substance use disorders, and intellectual and developmental disabilities to new heights.
