The Center for Innovative Practices (CIP), part of the Begun Center for Violence Prevention at the Mandel School of Applied Social Sciences at Case Western Reserve University, has developed a podcast initiative entitled, Innovative Conversations, exploring topics pertaining to the CIP mission of identifying promising practices and evidence-based interventions for youth dealing with mental health, substance use, trauma, and judicial justice challenges.
Hosted by first CIP director Patrick Kanary, the series also examines how Wraparound Systems of Care can better facilitate how integrated treatment can help yield optimal outcomes with youth recovery.
The sessions begin with a historical perspective of the Evolution of the Systems of Care Approach, progresses to Trauma and Trauma Informed Care in a System of Care Approach,
The series then explores, The Impact of Generational Trauma and Promising Practices in Multiple Systems of Care, concluding with a round-table discussion with a panel of Ohio’s leading experts, Systems of Care, Behavioral Health, and Juvenile Justice: Multiple Perspectives.
