Post-Harvey, Houston Teachers Learn to Respond to Trauma

UNICEF USA, Mental Health America of Greater Houston & Kognito Launch Interactive Role-Playing Program One Year after Hurricane Harvey

NEW YORK (PRWEB) October 25, 2018

One year after Hurricane Harvey, Houston-area teachers have a new tool to respond to children who have experienced trauma or distress through a new online professional development program. The program was developed through a collaboration between UNICEF USA, Mental Health America of Greater Houston (MHA of Greater Houston), and health simulation company Kognito.

The program, titled Trauma-Informed Practices for K-12 Schools (TPS), is a 30-45-minute online simulation that builds educators’ awareness of the effects of trauma and teaches effective ways to respond to students who may be experiencing distress as a result of a traumatic experience. It allows educators to practice responding to virtual students in distress using an innovative conversation platform developed by Kognito.

Over two-thirds of children in the U.S. have reported at least one traumatic event by age 16. Signs of traumatic stress affect children’s behaviors at home and in the classroom, with many effects that last into adulthood. Adverse childhood experiences can include sudden loss of a loved one, serious accidents or illness, community violence, abuse or neglect, and natural disasters as in the case of Hurricane Harvey. The new simulation was completed in time for the 2018-19 school year, which coincided with the one-year anniversary of Hurricane Harvey. Both events have the potential for triggering renewed trauma among those who lived through the storm and its aftermath.

“We have been involved with Hurricane Harvey relief since shortly after the storm made landfall, including training educators to support traumatized children. This program is an important extension of those efforts,” said Caryl M. Stern, President, and CEO of UNICEF USA, which provided funding for the program. “With this tool, we can support children and their long-term recovery from adverse events. Already we’ve seen an increase in teachers’ understanding of the storm’s impact on students, as well as their ability to provide related emotional support in the classroom.”

UNICEF USA funding includes access to the simulation at no cost for all 31 Houston-area school districts and other community and faith-based organizations which are members of MHA of Greater Houston’s Center for School Behavioral Health (CSBH) Collaborative, representing more than 57,000 educators serving 940,000 students.

Over 3,000 educators have been trained since the August 1 launch. Fort Bend Independent School District recently announced plans to train all 10,000 of its employees with a 90-minute version that combines TPS with Kognito’s At-Risk mental health training simulation, recognizing its value not only for natural disaster response but also for dealing with the fallout from other traumatizing events such as school violence. Following the success of this Houston pilot, TPS will be available for purchase for schools and districts nationwide later this fall.

Trauma experts worked with Kognito on the content for the new simulation, including Dr. Marleen Wong of the University of Southern California’s Suzanne Dworak-Peck School of Social Work, Dr. Julie Kaplow of the Trauma and Grief Center at Texas Children’s Hospital, and Fritz Affolter of UNICEF, along with Janet Pozmantier, Director of the MHA of Greater Houston’s Center for School Behavioral Health.

“Children everywhere are coping with adverse childhood experiences, but Hurricane Harvey caused massive emotional upheaval across the entire Houston metropolitan area,” said Pozmantier. “Teachers and staff can provide a critical support system if they understand how to recognize and respond to students in distress. We view TPS as having an important role in assisting teachers in developing positive student relationships that facilitate learning.”

The content for TPS was developed based on real-world examples and trauma response strategies provided by internationally known trauma experts, teachers, counselors, nurses, and other school-based mental health professionals who are part of MHA of Greater Houston’s CSBH Collaborative. Members of the CSBH Collaborative also played an instrumental role in piloting the initial simulation and providing feedback for further product development.

“The new TPS simulation will help us prepare schools that are ready to support not only children affected by Hurricane Harvey, but also those who experience chronic trauma and common life stressors,” said Ron Goldman, CEO, Kognito. “Our user testing showed that the simulation prompted users to think and behave differently when confronted with students showing signs of trauma at school. That’s a strong endorsement of our approach and the impact it can have on a student’s life.” More information on Kognito’s simulations is available at https://kognito.com/products.

After Deodhar Trophy heroics, Shubman Gill says he is ready to play for India

Rising star Shubman Gill says he is ready follow his U-19 captain Prithvi Shaw into the Indian team but is patiently waiting for his big break. With not many places up for grabs in the Indian team across formats, the stylish batsman from Punjab might have to wait a little longer than expected.

The 19-year-old is not losing sleep over it and is busy piling up the runs in whatever format he plays. He scored runs for KKR in the IPL, has performed for India A and has shown supreme form in the ongoing Deodhar Trophy.

In the presence of India and domestic veterans, Gill made the only hundred of the tournament in a high-pressure chase to take India C to the final on Saturday. His friend and U-19 skipper Shaw had already set a high benchmark but the highly talented Gill is up for the challenge.

"I am ready. I did not get the opportunity against the West Indies but I might get one in the next series. I am just happy scoring runs," a supremely confident Gill told PTI when asked about the time frame he has set for himself as Shaw has already made his Test debut.

India's U-19 stars become subjects of immense scrutiny once they deliver in popular events like World Cup. Shaw and Gill are experiencing that at the moment. Asked how he deals with such high expectations, Gill said: "All these things (expectations) are there in your mind before you get into the middle. It is all about scoring runs when you get on the field. I don't think what will happen when I get out. "Yes, they all recognise you for your U-19 days but we have to keep performing the same way at the higher levels to get a chance."

Gill recently turned 19 but he batted with remarkable poise and maturity on way to a match-winning hundred at the Feroz Shah Kotla here on Thursday. The unbeaten 90-run stand with the hard-hitting Suryakumar Yadav was also a lesson in partnership building.

Gill paced his innings beautifully and in the presence of three national selectors, grabbed the opportunity with both hands. Does he talk to anyone on building the innings or does it come naturally to him? "I don't talk to anyone on pacing the innings. Only my father, who is also my coach, advises me. Plus, we see lot of international cricket on television these days. I try to understand that and try to do the same in the middle. It is also about belief. That belief comes from practice and when you replicate that in a match, you get more confident about your game."

He forged two important partnerships with Ishan Kishan and Suryakumar Yadav to see India C through. "It feels good to take the team into the final. Ishan and Surya bhai also batted well. It was important to convert loose balls on this wicket. If you dont' do that, it creates more pressure. The talk all through was to find an odd boundary and rotate the strike as the asking rate was constantly around six an over," added Gill.

Larry Ellison agrees with his nemesis Jeff Bezos over one big thing: the 'shocking' way Google views the U.S. military (ORCL, GOOG, AMZN)

Larry Ellison agrees with his nemesis Jeff Bezos over one big thing: the 'shocking' way Google views the U.S. military (ORCL, GOOG, AMZN)· *For the most part, Oracle founder Larry Ellison would rather trash talk Amazon than say anything kind about its founder, Jeff Bezos.*
· *But he broke that tradition when he was asked by Fox Business Network's Maria Bartiromo about Google's newfound anti-military policies.*
· *Ellison said, "Here Jeff Bezos and I absolutely agree."*
· *Ellison believes there's some hypocrisy by a company that disdains the U.S. military while reportedly currying favor with China.*

In a wide-ranging interview with Fox Business Network's Maria Bartiromo, Oracle founder and executive chairman Larry Ellison had a few choice things to say about Google's newfound disdain for the U.S. military.

"Well I think it’s actually kind of shocking. Here Jeff Bezos and I absolutely agree," Ellison said, in a rare show of kind words for the competitor that Ellison spends most of his time these days trash-talking.

Bartiromo had asked Ellison about the fight going on in the cloud computing industry over a massive cloud contract from the Department of Defense. The DoD will award the whole contract, worth about $10 billion, to just one company. By all accounts the winner is expected to be Amazon Web Services. Oracle is one a handful of cloud competitors fighting tooth and nail to grab a portion of the contract away from AWS.

In recent weeks, cloud competitor Google dropped its bid for the contract. Google cited a new policy not to use its technology for military purposes., a policy that came about after an employee uprising on the matter. Google also admitted it was dropping the bid because its cloud hadn't yet achieved all the government certifications that the DoD was asking for.

Fox's Bartiromo suggested that there's some hypocrisy with Google's policies: it doesn't want to do work for the US DoD but Google is reportedly trying to return to the Chinese market with a search engine that the Chinese government can sensor.  

Ellison agreed.

"I think U.S. tech companies who say we will not support the U.S. Military, we will not work on any technology that helps our military, but yet goes into China and facilitates the Chinese government surveilling their people is pretty shocking," he said.

To be fair, numerous Google employees are also protesting the company's plans to return to China, just as they protested the military work. So the situation is more about whether Google yields to employee protests about China rather than a double-standard in the company's business ambitions. If Google's management had its way, it would presumably be doing business with both the military and China.

Bezos has also spoken out against Google's policies.“If big tech companies are going to turn their back on the Department of Defense, this country is going to be in trouble,” Bezos told Wired last week. 

Bezos doubled down by donating $10 million to With Honor, a political action committee fund trying to get more veterans elected to Congress.

Ellison also told Bartiromo, "I think it’s very important that U.S. technology companies support our country, our government. We are a democracy. If we don’t like our leaders, we can throw them out. If you don’t like the leaders in China, you can ...  fill in the blank.”

He went on to say he views China as a big threat to the U.S. these days.

"I think our big competitor is China, and that if we let China’s economy pass us up – if we let China produce more engineers than we do, if we let China’s technology companies beat our technology companies, it won’t be long that our military is behind technologically also," he warned.

Here's a segment of the interview where he discusses China.

APPA pledged $1 million to support the expansion of ARF's program pairing shelter animals with veterans with PTSD and other service-related challenges.

STAMFORD, Conn. (PRWEB) October 25, 2018

American Pet Products Association (APPA) President and CEO Bob Vetere and Tony La Russa’s Animal Rescue Foundation (ARF) Executive Director Elena Bicker announced today that APPA has partnered with ARF in support of their Pets and Vets Program.

APPA pledged $1 million over the next four years to support expansion of the program pairing shelter animals with veterans coping with PTSD, traumatic brain injuries, anxiety, and other service-related challenges. ARF then guides the veteran-dog teams through a 10-month psychiatric support dog training program.

Unlike service-dog programs that cost thousands of dollars and involve long waitlists, ARF’s program operates on shorter timelines and with no out-of-pocket expenses to the veteran. Teams complete service-training curriculum together in small, veteran-only classes, which deepens the bond between the veterans and their dogs.

Vetere said, “ARF's Pets and Vets program aligns perfectly with APPA’s mission to promote responsible pet ownership, as well as the joys and health benefits associated with owning a pet.” He added, “We couldn’t think of a better way to give back than to help connect rescued service dogs with men and women who have served our country and can truly benefit from the unconditional love, security, service, and companionship of a dog. The APPA Board and staff are tremendously proud of this new endeavor that will positively impact the lives of countless heroes and their pets for years to come.”

“ARF’s Pets and Vets program is truly an example of saving both ends of the leash,” said Bicker. “We’re excited to have APPA join us in this important mission that can change the lives of so many animals and veterans.”

For more details about the Pets and Vets program, please visit arflife.org/pets-and-vets.

The American Pet Products Association (APPA) is the leading trade association serving the interests of the pet products industry since 1958. APPA membership includes more than 1,200 pet product manufacturers, their representatives, importers and livestock suppliers representing both large corporations and growing business enterprises. APPA's mission is to promote, develop and advance pet ownership and the pet product industry and to provide the services necessary to help its members prosper. APPA is also proud to grow and support the industry through the following initiatives: Pets Add Life (PAL), the Human Animal Bond Research Institute (HABRI), Tony LaRussa’s Animal Rescue Foundation (ARF) Pets for Vets program, The Pet Leadership Council (PLC), the Pet Industry Joint Advisory Council (PIJAC), Bird Enjoyment and Advantage Koalition (BEAK), and the Pet Care Trust. Visit http://www.americanpetproducts.org for more information.

The Animal Rescue Foundation’s (ARF) core mission is the rescue of dogs and cats who have run out of time at public shelters, giving them a chance at life until a new home can be found. ARF couples this focus with innovative programs strengthening the human-animal bond for children, seniors, veterans, and people in disadvantaged circumstances. Through ARF, people experience the unconditional love and acceptance of dogs and cats to fulfill a mission of “People Rescuing Animals...Animals Rescuing People...”® Reported by PRWeb 4 minutes ago.
