Operation New Hope

For those agencies who attended the CalAIM convene we collaborated on, we were all fortunate. I have been to several CalAIM presentations & Public Works Alliance & Alex by far provide the most in depth presentation.

Extremely encouraged with the Community Partnership we have developed w/ Office of Youth and Community Restoration. We were honored to assist w/ their efforts to raise the awareness of CA expanded health care, specifically CalAIM. All who accepted the invitation were fortunate to have the amazing experts Public Works Alliance provide an in depth presentation - CalAIM 101. Mr. Alex Briscoe hit it out of the park, his knowledge & expertise was more than any of us could had expected. Here is OYCR’s highlight from their November Newsletter. CalAIM Convening – San Bernardino County In October, Community Based Organizations (CBO) across San Bernardino County gathered for an insightful convening to learn about the California Advancing and Innovating Medi-Cal (CalAIM) initiative. Over 16 CBOs were in attendance to learn about new more sustainable funding opportunities through Medi-Cal and how organizations serving justice impacted youth can be reimbursed for the work many are already doing. The event highlights a collective commitment to better serve our youth and emphasized the power of collaboration to drive positive change. A special thank you to our partners at the Public Works Alliance, Operation New Hope, and San Bernardino County Workforce Development Board for making this event possible.

While attending high school, 58% of the respondents did not feel safe, 60% did not feel supported, and 72% did not feel respected. During the interview portion of the study, some respondents shared why they felt unsupported during those school years. https://lnkd.in/geWKS7AK

A message to our students working on their road map to success! Every challenge we face in life presents an opportunity for growth and transformation. Resiliency is the ability to adapt to and overcome challenges, and to maintain psychological well-being in the face of adversity. It can also involve personal growth. Here are some characteristics of resilient people: - They can remain optimistic and persistent, even in uncertain or difficult situations - They can recover quickly from setbacks - They can anticipate changes and learn from their mistakes - They can adjust to internal and external demands through mental, emotional, and behavioral flexibility. Some factors that contribute to resilience include: - How a person views and engages with the world - The availability and quality of social resources - Specific coping strategies.
