A few other things that came in after our Monday Update:

Tues - Jan 3rd 10:00-11:30am - Clallam Resilience Project Community Meeting
Why are community health clinics a model for resilience? Is it the ability for “upstream” engagement? Or addressing the social determinants of health in a grassroots method?

Come learn about North Olympic Health Network (NOHN) from Carlos Osario, Community Outreach and Navigation Department Manager. He will speak to how NOHN serves our community by connecting residents with resources, like the mobile clinic, that help them get and stay healthy.

Re-framing Challenging Behavior in Young Children Workshop on January 9, 2023, 1-4PM on Zoom

Presented by Carol Good, MSW, LICSW, IMH-E® Infant Mental Health Mentor – Clinical. Humans are hard-wired to communicate from birth. There are times when caregivers misinterpret their child's non-verbal cues in negative ways which impact how they respond.

This workshop will use videos and small group discussion to support learning the meaning of non-verbal cues, the importance of sensitive responses to cues to support healthy attachment relationships, and how to support caregivers in becoming better observers of their child's cues.

Mini Grants for Youth Protective Factors

As part of the Olympic Region’s Youth Cannabis & Commercial Tobacco Prevention Program (YCCTPP), Jefferson County Public Health is announcing our Mini-Grant cycle for 2022-2023. A portion of the money is earmarked for Clallam County.

These mini-grants will contribute to our efforts to reduce and prevent substance use among youth in our counties.

We are seeking applications from organizations who serve youth and those who have youth-serving components in Clallam and Jefferson counties. Funding will be used to support projects and ongoing activities that provide youth with protective factors to prevent substance use.

Grant applications are due January 6, 2023.
