| NCPIC Meetings to focus on Trauma and Housing Needs |
|
Effective July 1, the NCPIC will switch to a new format for its meeting schedule. The full PIC membership will meet quarterly. These meetings will have a general topic area that is applicable across all three disabilities. Following plenary speakers on the topic, NCPIC Subcommittees will have presentations and discussion about disability-specific programs to address the topic areas. The topic for August 13th will be Trauma. Trauma has many sources – natural disasters, violence and war, physical and sexual abuse or personal health problems or the loss or illness of people we love. This NCPIC meeting will look at programs to address trauma and its consequences across North Carolina. Speakers will be announced in July. The second topic for the FY 2010 NCPIC series will be Housing, which is a critical issue for consumers across the three disability areas. This meeting will be held on November 12, 2009. This is a timely issue: innovative funding for communities is emerging as an important component of economic recovery initiatives. All meetings will be held in Raleigh. The agenda and meeting details for the August 13 meeting will be sent in July. Please mark your calendars! |

| Dean Fixsen, Ph.D. – WMR Presentation |
|
Dean Fixsen, Ph.D., Co-Director, National Implementation Research Network, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, presented on the Science and Practice of Implementation to Transformation Transfer Initiative to participants on June 4, 2009. Because effective innovations do not fit well in existing organizational structures and systems, it is essential to expect and plan for changes. Dr. Fixsen discusses how to develop, improve, and sustain innovations and stages of implementation. Critical to implementation is the designation of an implementation team to develop the infrastructure and to promote and sustain the system change.

| SA#1: Contingency Management (CM) |
|
CM is based on the well-known theory that behaviors that are reinforced or rewarded will increase in frequency. The term CM comes from the concept that the reward is contingent on the successful achievement of the behavior that will be rewarded. It is a model that is used in nonclinical settings in everyday life: parents give rewards for good grades and employers give promotions for performing well on the job.

| MH#1: Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT) |
|
The financial costs of untreated trauma are also high – estimated at $104 billion per year in the United States. Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT) was developed to treat post-traumatic stress and related emotional and behavioral problems in children and adolescents. Developed in the 1980’s, it has been used successfully and extensively both in the United States and other countries. In North Carolina, there are 170 licensed clinicians located in 60 counties trained in TF-CBT according to Dana Hagele, MD, MPH and Lisa Amaya-Jackson, MD, MPH, Co-Directors of the NC Child Treatment Program (NC CTP). Information about service and training resources is available at www.med.unc.edu/ncctp/.
