September 30, 2020Greater Nashua Childhood Lead Poisoning Prevention ConferenceGreater Nashua Childhood Lead Poisoning Prevention ConferenceSeptember 30, 2020 – All children are at risk for lead poisoning. As we work to increase lead testing for children under 6 years of age in the Greater Nashua Region, the Leading Education and Awareness on Lead (L.E.A.D.) in Greater Nashua initiative is hosting a FREE half-day interactive virtual conference on Wednesday, September 30, 2020 from 8 am to 12 pm.
To register and view the conference agenda, sponsors, speakers, and exhibitors, visit https://bit.ly/GNLeadPreventionConference.
Children in the Greater Nashua Region may be at higher risk for lead poisoning, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic, as over 50% of homes in our region were built before 1978, the year that lead paint was banned. Join us as we work to educate and engage our community on the impact of childhood lead poisoning, the importance of childhood blood lead testing, and the next steps we can take to keep our children safe and healthy.
Following this conference, participants will be able to:
• Provide an overview of childhood lead poisoning and how it impacts children in our community; • Highlight current initiatives related to childhood lead poisoning prevention in the Greater Nashua Region; and • Share lead poisoning prevention educational opportunities with partners and community members. We hope this conference will empower the Greater Nashua Region to increase engagement in initiatives and collaborations aimed at preventing childhood lead poisoning in our community!
Who should attend? Health Care Providers, Child Care Professionals, Teachers, Special Education Professionals, School Nurses, Realtors, Landlords, Social Service Providers, Caregivers, Community Members, and all those interested in or impacted by childhood lead poisoning.

October 14, 2020Raising the Bar: Mental Health Advocacy in the N.H. Legal SystemRaising the Bar: Mental Health Advocacy in the N.H. Legal SystemOctober 14, 2020 – Hosted by NH Children's Behavioral Health Program, Riverbend Communiity, NAMI NH For decades, states have required law students to answer questions about their mental health treatment before they can practice law. However, a wave of support has been building to remove questions about mental health from the character and fitness reviews of bar applicants. In this discussion, we will hear from Sofia Hyatt and Victoria Saxe, two 3L UNH Law School students who successfully advocated to eliminate the mental health questions on the NH Bar Exam. In our conversation, we will explore their advocacy efforts and the impact these discriminatory questions have on applicants and the diversity of the legal profession. The panel will be moderated by Michele Merritt, New Futures' CEO and President, and will also feature John Broderick, Dartmouth-Hitchcock's Sr. Director of External Affairs and former Chief Justice of the NH Supreme Court, Terri Harrington, Executive Director of NH Lawyers Assistance Program, and Juli Hincks, Attorney at McGrath Law Firm. |

October 19, 2020What is Trauma-Informed Care?What is Trauma-Informed Care?October 19, 2020 – New Hampshire is working to build a system of care for children's mental health that is youth and family-driven, community-based, culturally and linguistically competent, and trauma-informed. But what does "trauma-informed" mean? SAMHSA (Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration) describes six core principles of a trauma-informed approach which include: safety, trustworthiness and transparency, peer support, collaboration and mutuality, empowerment, voice and choice, and cultural, historical, and gender issues. These principles are closely interwoven with the values identified in NH's System of Care for children. This live webinar session invites participants to learn how adopting a trauma-informed lens allows us to see how experiences of adversity and stigma can impact a child's and family's mental health wellbeing. Participants will learn how to take "trauma-responsive" action in their community by adopting practices aimed at promoting equity, wellness, and post-traumatic growth with people and systems impacted by violence, adversity, and systemic oppression.
