SUMMARY:Watch: How To Become Your Own Best Advocate
DESCRIPTION:Watch the recording for “How To Become Your Own Best Advocate.”\nIn this workshop\, presenter Alexina Federhen\, shares her lived experience with mental health issues and a reading disability to show how you can become your best advocate. Alexina at a young age was diagnosed with a neurological disorganization disorder called cross dominance. She has struggled with depression and anxiety since middle school and is currently dealing with long COVID as well. She shares her experience of self-advocacy through school\, the healthcare system\, and professional work. She explains what worked\, what didn’t\, and the need for persistence in advocacy. \nPresenter: \n\nAlexina Federhen – Born in Bennington\, Vermont\, Alexina graduated from Mt Anthony Union High School before leaving the state to attend Cornell University. As the recipient of the Gates Millennium and Horatio Alger Scholarships\, she was able to pursue a degree in Design and Environmental Analysis and graduate with honors and distinction. She wrote her honor thesis on Assessing Evidence-Based Design in Mental and Behavioral Health Facilities. Her research investigated the impact of interior architecture and design on patient recovery and staff productivity. In Fall of 2021\, Alexina created a non-profit\, “The Feel Better Way\,” to provide information and resources to teens and young adults struggling with mental health issues. In April 2022\, Alexina was selected as Miss Vermont and she dedicated her year of service to mental health advocacy. She self-published a book\, “The Feel Better Way\,” which was sponsored by NAMI and the Stratton Foundation for distribution to schools. She visited dozens of schools and after-school programs to talk about her lived experiences with mental health issues and has spoken on cable television and radio.

SUMMARY:Watch: It’s Your Rights! What Family Caregivers Should Know About the New Medicaid Rules for Adult Developmental Services.
DESCRIPTION:Watch the recording for “It’s Your Rights! What Family Caregivers Should Know About the New Medicaid Rules for Adult Developmental Services.”\nIf you are unable to attend\, you can still register and we’ll send you a link to the recording of the workshop which you can watch on your own time.\nLast March\, new federal requirements took effect for people receiving Medicaid-funded home and community based services. These impact adults receiving developmental disability services in certain settings\, including group homes and shared living arrangements. The rules are designed to ensure that people living in these settings have privacy\, autonomy\, and full access to the community. \nThis presentation is intended for family caregivers who currently – or may some day – have a son or daughter living in this type of setting. A expert in Medicaid policy\, Ms. Murphy will provide helpful background for navigating the complex world of adult services. \nPresenter: \n\nKirsten Murphy is the Executive Director of the Vermont Developmental Disabilities Council where she has worked since 2013. She began her career in non-profit management in the 80’s developing programs for high risk youth in New York City and Boston. Her interests turned to disability rights and community inclusion when two of her children were diagnosed on the autism spectrum. Kirsten founded a family support program\, ARCH\, serving the Upper Valley region of NH and VT\, directed the New Hampshire Autism Council\, and is credited with securing equitable insurance coverage for NH children who experience the interfering symptoms of autism. She is a 2010 graduate of the Leadership in Neurodevelopmental Disabilities Program (LEND) through the University of New Hampshire. Now a resident of Montpelier\, VT\, she brings over three decades of experience in public policy\, systems thinking\, and advocacy.\n\n
