SUMMARY:Getting to Know the Office of the Foster Youth Ombudsperson
DESCRIPTION:PLEASE NOTE: Effective June 1\, 2024\, live webinar attendees who need a certificate of attendance must register individually and watch on their own device for proper tracking. Effective August 1\, 2024\, live webinar attendees must be in attendance throughout the entirety of the training to receive a certificate of attendance. \nThe Office of the Foster Youth Ombudsperson (OOFY) was created in response to Fosters* expressing a need for an office to respond to their unanswered concerns. OOFY is a neutral and independent agency that helps solve problems and complaints about the care\, placement\, safety\, and services of children and youth in foster care. We help foster youth\, social workers\, probation officers\, resource families and advocates understand the rights of children and youth in foster care. We also help by making policy recommendations to improve the foster care system. \nJoin us to learn about the key priorities of OOFY\, what to expect from our complaint resolution and investigative process\, and how we can best partner to fulfill our legislative mandate to “promote the highest attainable standards of competence\, efficiency\, and justice for youth who are in the care of the state.”\nWe use the term Foster as described by Foster Advocates: Early leaders in our network stated foster care creates a significant cultural identity\, akin to other immutable characteristics\, that goes unrecognized once they are reunited with family\, adopted\, or age out. In response\, we use the term Foster to name and claim this unique identity. \nMisty Coonce (she/her) is humbled and honored to serve as Minnesota’s first Ombudsperson for Foster Youth. She is grounded in her personal experience in foster care and subsequent adoption into a non-relative family along with her older sisters. Prior to her appointment by Governor Walz and Lt. Governor Flanagan in September 2023\, she worked in child welfare for 15 years\, in a variety of roles within private non-profit organizations including Ampersand Families and EVOLVE Family Services. Misty earned her Master of Social Work degree from the University of Wisconsin-Madison in 2010\, and is a Licensed Independent Social Worker in the state of Minnesota. She stays busy as a parent of two children\, volunteering with their school’s Parent Teacher Association\, and getting out to hike and camp whenever she can. Misty appreciates the opportunity to seek and hear feedback\, including complaints and ideas for solutions\, regarding the experiences of Fosters within our state system. She looks forward to being a resource for\, and a partner with\, youth and the many other stakeholders who care deeply about the safety and well-being of Fosters\, in defining solutions for improvement in foster care. \nClosed Captioning will be available once the webinar begins.

SUMMARY:Redefining Resilience
DESCRIPTION:Before it became a popular buzzword\, resilience was an adjective used to describe goldfish or tires\, something that didn’t need much taking care of. Even the dictionary says that resilience is about the “ability to return to the original shape.” Isn’t that a little ridiculous? How can we possibly be expected to return to our original shape when our lives fall apart? Don’t we want to allow ourselves to be altered by disruption\, setbacks or change? Isn’t adaptation—a true change—something to celebrate in a rapidly changing world and workplace? In this talk\, Nora McInerny uses stories from her own life and her podcast to introduce a new definition of resilience\, one that acknowledges the changes we didn’t choose. \nHow are you? Nora McInerny wants to know the truth. As the creator and host of the podcasts “Terrible\, Thanks For Asking” & “It’s Going To Be OK\,” and the TED speaker known for her viral talk\, “We Don’t Move On From Grief\, We Move Forward With It\,” Nora McInerny specializes in making space for emotional honesty and difficult conversations. From her bestselling memoirs and essay collections to her pieces in The New York Times\, TIME magazine and The Washington Post\, Nora’s work regularly touches on topics many would rather not discuss — death\, loss\, illness\, mental health\, trauma and change — with disarming wit and earnest candor.\nDrawing on her personal experiences with grief — Nora lost her husband\, second pregnancy and father within a few weeks of each other — and her years of interviewing people who have lived through their own terrible experiences\, Nora’s unforgettable talks inspire audiences to face and conquer any obstacle — with the strength that comes from knowing that we are not alone.\nThough Nora addresses challenging and uncomfortable topics\, she does so with a light touch. Her disarming humor and wit break down the barriers that often isolate people who are going through adversity and change. Whether Nora is presenting a keynote or participating in moderated Q&A sessions\, she creates interactive one-of-a-kind multimedia presentations tailored to her audience\, giving everyone new tools to help them connect more deeply with themselves and with each other.
