This page provides access to the presentations and materials offered throughout the 2018 California Safety Organized Practice Conference, which was hosted by the Northern California Training Academy at the University of California, Davis June 26-27. The statewide conference provided an opportunity for counties implementing Safety Organized Practice (SOP) to explore strategies for rigor and depth of practice across the case continuum, and to share strengths, challenges and successes around implementation and sustainability.
This resource provides access to the Northern California Training Academy's extensive list of published guides, tips and tools for child welfare practice improvement.
This project aims to provide a bibliography resource for teachers, parents, counselors, and others interacting with children that had ACEs. As statistics indicate, there is a need for assistance in the area of resources to help children cope with the impact of the tragedy. Books are one means of having children feel connected to others and experience another individual’s process of coping with a traumatic event. Reading can connect children emotionally with characters which is the primary goal of this grant, though reading will also provide children with other additional affective benefits of readings such as active civic engagement, healthier lifestyle, examples of empathy.

"Whether surgical or nonsurgical treatment is better for individuals with completely displaced midshaft clavicle fractures is controversial. There is particularly little evidence for adolescents, despite the fact that they’re the most commonly affected population. According to a new study, surgery is not superior to nonoperative treatment for restoring function and preventing complications in this patient group and may instead pose greater risks for this young population. The findings are published in _The American Journal of Sports Medicine_. In completely displaced midshaft clavicle fractures, also called displaced diaphyseal fractures, the clavicle breaks near the midpoint, and the broken ends shift out of alignment. While immobilization with a simple shoulder sling is the traditional mode of treatment, surgical treatment has become more common..."

"Of the twelve cranial nerves that pass through the skull, the facial nerve is most susceptible to traumatic injury and paralysis. One technique for repairing such damage is polyethylene glycol-mediated cell fusion – or PEG-fusion – but this hasn’t been tested on facial nerves. Moreover, when looking at other nerve types, it’s only been applied immediately after injury. This doesn’t reflect real-world clinical practice, where nerve damage may not be addressed for days as life-saving interventions are prioritized. Now, researchers have applied PEG-fusion to facial nerves using a more clinically relevant timeline, and the results suggest that nerve regeneration is possible even when treatment is delayed. PEG-fusion helps restore the protective boundary of a nerve cell’s plasma membrane by plugging the holes caused by traumatic injury, which can seal the cell off from potentially toxic substances. But it hasn’t been clear whether delayed treatment can still help cells heal..."

"New research shows that rule changes can spare high school ice hockey players from serious injury without altering the game’s competitive nature. The results point to new and effective ways of safeguarding countless student-athletes who play full-contact sports. Ice hockey is one of the most physical collision sports. Of the nearly 45,000 players who play at the high school level in the U.S., about 12,000 seek care in emergency departments for injuries suffered on the ice. Despite strategies to curb malicious play, the potential for serious head, neck, and spinal injury remains high, as players are still allowed to body check opponents. One promising tactic is to set a penalty-minute threshold for players who incur excessive penalties. This so-called “Fair Play” approach has been shown to reduce hockey player injuries without compromising competitive play—though only at the scale of a single tournament..."

"More than 350 million adult survivors of war throughout the world suffer from post-traumatic stress syndrome (PTSD) and/or major depression Most live in low- and middle-income countries While treating the systemic impact of PTSD in these areas is extremely difficult, effective treatments are available Exposure therapies, such as Narrative Exposure Therapy, can be brief, culturally sensitive and help communities affected by complex traumatic stress Exposure therapy involves imaginatively reliving the life-altering moments leading to a PTSD diagnosis Evidence suggests that exposure therapy works by reconnecting areas of the brain that stopped communicating due to experiencing one or more traumatic events Although the focus of exposure therapy is on reducing individual PTSD symptoms, the impact of therapy can extend beyond the individual level leading to better relationship functioning and social engagement Multi-level treatments like exposure therapy and relational interventions could be a powerful.."

"It may be surprising to learn that drugs like morphine can actually make it harder to heal from injuries, including surgery. Researchers report that using opioids to manage this type of acute pain can make the pain last longer, potentially drawing out the need for pain relief. Although it’s unclear exactly why this happens, scientists are beginning to uncover some of the physiological causes of this delayed healing. And they think it has something to do with the brain’s immune system. That conclusion comes from an in-depth look at how morphine affects recovery in mice. Using a mouse model of orthopedic surgery, researchers looked at the consequences of postoperative morphine use. Mice were subjected to tibial fracture and repair and given a 7-day course of either morphine or an inactive vehicle. Some mice underwent a sham operation – they were anesthetized and received skin incisions, but no bone fracture – followed by the same treatment regimen..."

Students are introduced to prosthetics history, purpose and benefits, main components, main types, materials, control methods, modern examples including modern materials used to make replacement body parts and the engineering design considerations to develop prostheses. They learn how engineers and medical doctors work together to improve the lives of people with amputations and the challenges faced when designing new prostheses with functional and cosmetic criteria and constraints. A PowerPoint(TM) presentation and two worksheets are provided.
