Alumni Update: National Children's Mental Health Awareness Day

See below for an email from one of our CCJS alumni on a great opportunity coming up this week!

-----

Hi Dr. Stickle!

I hope you're doing well and wrapping up the semester smoothly. I wanted to tell you about this event I have been working on because I thought it would be of interest to you, students in CCJS, and the work you do.

Next Thursday, May 4 is National Children's Mental Health Awareness Day in Washington, DC. It's this awesome event that I've played a part in getting together. Michael Phelps & Allison Schmitt are Honorary Chairpersons and Secretary Price will be attending. 

This year's theme is “Partnering for Help and Hope," which focuses on the importance of integrating behavioral health and primary care for children, youth, and young adults with mental and/or substance use disorders, as well as those who may experience chronic illness. 

The event will follow a talk show format featuring interactive panel discussions about understanding the connection between physical and behavioral health, and improving communication between primary care providers, behavioral health providers, youth and families.

The event itself actually sold out very quickly, but there is going to be a live webcast. During the event, viewers receive step-by-step instructions on how to share insights or submit questions for the panelists on Twitter using the hashtag #HeroesofHope or through the webcast messaging portal. 

Those who want to participate in the live webcast follow this link:

I've loved working on this project and thought you'd be really interested in it so I wanted to pass it along. On the day of, SAMHSA is also releasing new data connecting conditions such as asthma, diabetes, bronchitis, and obesity in adolescent girls to behavioral health challenges. It's SO interesting. Let me know what you think!

I miss you! Hope you had an awesome year.

Best,

Katy

Have Spanish, Portuguese, Mandarin Chinese, Arabic, or Russian? Consider the Consular Fellows Program

Have Spanish, Portuguese, Mandarin Chinese, Arabic, or Russian? Consider the Consular Fellows Program The Consular Fellows Program offers candidates a unique opportunity to serve their country, utilize their foreign language skills, and develop valuable skills and experience that will serve them well in follow-on professions. Foreign Service Consular Fellows serve in U.S. embassies and consulates overseas alongside Foreign Service Officers, other U.S. agency personnel, and locally-employed staff. Using their language skills in Spanish, Portuguese, Mandarin Chinese, Arabic, or Russian, their primary duty is to adjudicate visas for foreign nationals. Duties and responsibilities are similar to those of entry-level career Foreign Service Officers. While at post, Consular Fellows are members of the embassy or consulate community and receive many of the same benefits that career Foreign Service members receive, such as housing and educational allowances for eligible family members. View a more detailed description of the type of work involved and benefits provided. Consular Fellows are hired via limited non-career appointments (LNAs)*. The Consular Fellow LNA appointment is for 60 months, but may be terminated at any time based on performance and/or needs of the Service. Consular Fellows may terminate their appointment at any time with 30 days’ notice. However, if they choose to do so before completing a total of 12 months of service at post, they are obligated to repay certain costs associated with their travel, transportation, and other relocation allowances, unless the termination is triggered by circumstances beyond their control, as deemed by the U.S. Department of State. New hires who commit to a four-year service agreement will be eligible to receive a recruitment incentive of up to 10% of their basic salary.  This incentive would be paid in two installments: one upon completion of the first two-year assignment, and the second at the end of 48 months of consecutive service. In addition, Consular Fellows may be eligible to participate in the U.S. Department of State’s Student Loan Repayment Program (SLRP) at any post in which they serve when they sign an initial three-year service agreement.  For more information on the program, click here. These are paid, non-career positions.  For more information, read here.
