DATE: July 15, 2020 TO: Members, Champaign County Mental Health Board (CCMHB) FROM: Shandra Summerville, Cultural and Linguistic Competence Coordinator SUBJECT: Mental Health First Aid Trainings Background: Mental Health First Aid is a course that is designed to identify and understand signs and symptoms to provide the initial support for a person that is experiencing mental health challenges and/or challenges with substance use disorders. In 2015, under a partnership with the Illinois Regional Office of Education, funding was awarded for Project Aware Illinois from the Substance Abuse Mental Health Administration (SAMHA) to begin training individuals from Champaign County to become Youth Mental Health First Aid Instructors. This was a community strategy that would begin to address the stigma of mental illness for adults that are serving youth at school, at day camps, and in neighborhoods.

In 2018, there was an increased report of famers, older adults, and rural area residents that were dying by suicide. There was a member of the CCMHB that wanted to learn about ways that support could be offered to older adults living in rural areas. There were coordinated efforts by Carle and OSF to begin train additional instructors in Mental Health First Aid for Adults. In addition the School of Social Work Education Community Leaming Lab and an Agricultural course in Collaborative Leadership at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, Mental Health First Aid was recommended as part of the community response to address stigma around mental illness.

In April 2019, I became an instructor for Mental Health First Aid for Adults specialized in the Public Safety Module. I have dual certification for Adult and Youth Mental Health First Aid, specialized in Public Safety and virtual and blended learning certification. I have trained 55 people over the past year in Mental Health First Aid and we have an opportunity to build additional capacity to have teens to become mental health first aiders.

For Future Consideration: Since the impact of COVID-19, there was a clear indication that mental health services for rural residents, under-resourced communities, and young people would have to be innovative, flexible, and non-traditional. Although Mental Health First Aid is not a treatment model, it is an initial response to provide support to someone that has signs and symptoms of mental health challenge until the appropriate professional help becomes available. Mental Health First Aid for Adults and Adults Assisting Youth has gone to a virtual platform, as well as blended learning for both an in person and self-paced course. I will be certified to deliver classes virtually as well as the blended learning options. These options will create more opportunity to build Mental Health First Aid in our community.

I have had some initial conversation with Donna Kaufman from Regional Office of Education about creating a site for teen Mental Health First Aid. This in-person training teaches high school students about common mental health challenges and what they can do to support their own mental health and help a friend who is struggling. It is equipping young people with the knowledge and skills they need to foster their own wellness and to support each other. The new instructor training was not made available until after June 15. As we consider to look at the investment for Mental Health First Aid, I believe that it is an opportunity to offer virtual classes and partnering to invest in a teen Mental Health First Aid site at a local school or after school program with teens.

Number of Anticipated Trainings:

CCMHB will offer a minimum of 6 (3 Adult & 3 Youth) courses annually with up to 20 participants. If the number of participants is over 20 people that class must be taught in person with a co-instructor. If there is a need to host more than six courses, my staff time will be adjusted to accommodate additional courses.

teen Mental Health First Aid must have site a coordinator that will be on site at a school or an afterschool program. It is hard to determine the amount of trainings that will be anticipated. The number of trainings will depend on the number of young people that are available to take the training and the staff time to provide instruction and support for the youth.

Costs:

To maintain the virtual learning certification, I must pay $150.00 annually.

The Virtual Leaming and Blended Leaming Courses-Each seat is $28.95 that will include all the notes and the manual for every participant. The seats will be paid for in advance and participants must confirm their attendance before the seat is paid for by CCMHB.

CCMHB has purchased manuals ($18.95) under the former curriculum that can be used with a crosswalk document with the updated information. The manuals will be for classes that will be taught in person with recommended precautions for in person meetings. When classes are offered in person, there will be a maximum of 10 participants. The average cost covered by CCMHB about $45.00 for each participant for materials and snacks. CHAMPAIGN COUNTY MENTAL HEALTH BOARD

CHAMPAIGN COUNTY BOARD FOR CARE AND TREATMENT OF PERSONS WITH A DEVELOPMENTAL DISABILITY

BRIEFING MEMORANDUM

TO: Members, Champaign County Mental Health Board FROM: Mark Driscoll, Associate Director DATE: July 15, 2020 RE: Contract Amendment Report

The Funding Guidelines include a section on contract amendments. The section gives the Executive Director authority to review and act on amendments, the Board President and the Executive Director discretion to bring amendments to the Board for action, while further stipulating certain requests must have Board approval. Regardless of the process applied to moving forward with an amendment, the Board is to be informed of all contract amendments.

Amendments have been issued to twenty PY20 contracts granted extended terms by the Board last November. The amendments add language on the impact of COVID-19 pandemic as a Special Provision to each contract (All new PY21 contracts also include the language).

"This contract shall be subject to realignment, reconfiguration, or redirection in scope of services, financial presentation, and/or contract maximum, as deemed necessary by the Board to respond to the COVID-19 pandemic or other declared natural or man-made disasters."

The amended language was approved by the Board at the May 20, 2020 meeting. Amended contracts are:

CCRPC- Community Services "Justice Diversion Program" CCRPC - Community Services "Youth Assessment Center (YAC)" Champaign Co. CAC "Children's Advocacy Center" CSCNCC "Resource Connection" Crisis Nursery "Beyond Blue Champaign County" DREAAM House "DREAAM" Don Moyer Boys and Girls Club "C-U CHANGE" Don Moyer Boys and Girls Club "Community Coalition Summer Initiatives" Don Moyer Boys and Girls Club "Youth and Family Services" ECIRMAC (Refugee Center) "Family Support & Strengthening" Family Service "Counseling" Family Service "Self-Help Center " Family Service "Senior Counseling & Advocacy" First Followers "Peer Mentoring for Re-entry" Mahomet Area Youth Club "BLAST" RACES "Sexual Violence Prevention Education" Rosecrance Central Illinois "Fresh Start" Rosecrance Central Illinois "Prevention Services" ,h\

BROOKENS ADMINISTRATIVE CENTER • 1776 E. ~GTO N STREET • URBANA, ILLINOIS 61 802

PHONE (217) 367-5703 • FAX (2 17) 367-574 1 Rosecrance Central Illinois "Specialty Courts" Urbana Neighborhood Connections "Community Study Center"

Another set of amendments have also been completed. The PY20 Promise Healthcare Mental Health Services and Wellness contracts have been amended to extend the contract end date to September 30, 2020. The extension enables the agency to receive payments th at were suspended once the overdue audit has been submitted. During the period payments have been held, Promise Healthcare has continued to deliver contracted services.

Four programs involving three agencies were issued contracts with pro-rated award amounts. The four PY21 contracts each include a special provision pro-rating the contract amount until the proposed new staff position(s) are filled. Reference to this special provision was included in the recommendation section of the Decision Memorandum for PY21 Funding.

The amount of each contract was adjusted based on the amount of CCMHB funds supporting each new position not currently filled. Prior to issuing the contract, the three agencies were notified of the amount of the pro-rated contract(s) and that once the new positions were filled the contracts would be amended based on the start date of the new staff. The three agencies/four programs were:

Cunningham Children's Home - Families Stronger Together program Promise Healthcare - Mental Health Services with Promise Promise Healthcare - Wellness RACES- Counseling

Cunningham Children's Home was able to fill two new positions in the Families Stronger Together program prior to the start of the PY21 contract year. As a result, the first two pages of the contract were reissued with new contract maximums equal to the original award. Since the contract now reflects the full award, no amendment will be required to the contract.

For Promise Healthcare amendments will be necessary at a later date. Once the Board has been notified the new positions have been filled and start date of the new hired staff provided, their contracts will be amended and the contract maximum adjusted to account for the period the positions were vacant.

For RACES,the new therapist position is expected to take some time to fill. Because virtually the entire CCCMHB contract supports personnel costs associated with the new position, the question of holding the contract until the position was filled was posed to RACES,whose executive director agreed. The RACEScontract will be issued at a later date. However, the contract also carries a Special Provision making the contract contingent on an award of funds from the Illinois Attorney General. The agency recently learned they would not be receiving the funds from the Illinois Attorney General's office and has proposed an alternate source. Please see the RACES Counseling Contract Decision Memorandum for more information. CHAMPAIGN COUNTY DEVELOPMENTAL DISABILITIES BOARD CHAMPAIGN COUNTY C MENTAL HEALTH BOARD

DECISION MEMORANDUM

DATE: July 15, 2020 TO: Members, Champaign County Mental Health Board (CCMHB) FROM: Lynn Canfield and Mark Driscoll SUBJECT: RACES Counseling Contract Background:

During the PY2 l allocation cycle, RACES submitted a new proposal to fund a therapist position within the agency's counseling program. Currently the agency has four therapists on staff. The proposal sought new funding from the CCMHB and the Illinois Attorney General to add a fifth fulltime therapist to meet increased demand for services.

Funding from the CCMHB accounts for two thirds of costs associated with the new position. The balance would be paid by the Attorney General funds. However, RACES does not have an existing contractual relationship with the Illinois Attorney General. Making the viability of the new therapist position contingent not only on the award of CCMHB funds but also by the Attorney General. Staff recommended and the Board approved making CCMHB funds contingent on the award of the Attorney General funds.

RACES was informed of that grant condition as well as the contract being pro-rated based on the start date of the therapist. On July I, 2020, RACES notified the Board the Attorney General would not be allocating funds to support the new therapist position. However, RACES has identified other funds, Victims of Crime Act (VOCA), to fill the void. The VOCA is an existing source of support for the counseling program and RACES has been approved to use more VOCA funds for this purpose but that staff time would not be dedicated to serving residents of Champaign County.

A copy of the e-mail from Adelaide Aime, RACES Executive Director, on not receiving the Attorney General funds and proposed substitution ofVOCA funds is attached. Budget Impact:

The shift in source of supporting funds for adding the therapist position is budget neutral for the Board. Note the contract is also subject to pro-rating based on the start date of the yet to be hired new therapist. Personnel costs account for 97% of the expenses to be paid by the CCMHB. Because virtually the entire award is allocated to personnel. In prior communications, Ms. Aime has stated it may take as long as six months to fill the position. With her consent, the decision was made to hold the contract until the position is filled and then adjust the amount of the award. Decision Section:

Options before the board include approving the substitution of VOCA funds, denying the request and withdrawing the award, or deferring consideration of the request.

Motion: Move to approve RACES request to substitute VOCA funds for the Illinois Attorney General funds as the balance of funds necessary to establish the therapist position.

(!}) Revisions of June 17 Drafts: • Recalculation of projected costs of staff benefits, using budget guidance from the County.

The chief administrative employee shall serve in a dual (i.e., shared) capacity as Executive Director of the Mental Health Board as well as Executive Director of the Developmental Disabilities Board.

2. The terms and conditions of the Executive Director's employment shall be delineated in an employment contract with both the Developmental Disabilities Board and the Mental Health Board as Parties to the agreement.

3. Each Board shall complete a separate annual performance evaluation of the Executive Director. If either Board rates the Executive Director as "less than satisfactory," a Joint Personnel Committee comprising two (2) officers of the Mental Health Board and two (2) officers of the Developmental Disabilities Board shall be convened to assess the situation and formulate recommendations. A recommendation of termination by the Joint Personnel Committee, or any other action proposed, shall require ratification by each Board by majority vote. The Joint Personnel Committee shall have no other function.

An annual performance review conference with the Executive Director shall be convened by the Presidents of the two Boards. This conference shall be used to provide feedback about performance and discuss goals and objectives for the coming year.

4. Process for selection of a new shared Executive Director: At such time as it becomes necessary to fill the shared position of Executive Director for the Mental Health Board and the Developmental Disabilities Board, the search and decision process shall include the following steps and processes.

a. The Mental Health Board and the Developmental Disabilities Board shall develop and agree upon selection criteria and job description for the shared Executive Director position. If necessary, a separate document delineating the search process shall be developed and agreed upon by each Board. b. The Presidents of the two Boards, with the advice and consent of the two Boards, shall appoint a Search Committee to manage the search and selection process for the shared Executive Director using the job description and selection criteria. c. The Search Committee shall report, in advance, a general schedule for the search process, any advertising content to be used, shall request budget support for the search process, and shall keep the two Boards informed about activities and progress associated with the search with regular reports at each Board meeting during the search schedule. d. Ultimately, finalists for the shared Executive Director position will be determined by majority vote of the Search Committee and forwarded to the two Boards.

2. MHB shall acquire such residences with financing provided by one or more local banks.

4. MHB and DOB agree that once a residence is no longer to be used to provide CILA services, MHB shall enter into a listing agreement with a realtor in an attempt to sell such residence. The parties agree that the proceeds, net of all selling expenses, from the sale of such residence shall be distributed equally to MHB and DOB.

In witness whereof, the parties have executed this Addendum as of the date first written above.

For the Champaign County Mental Health Board ADDENDUM TO INTERGOVERNMENTAL AGREEMENT

.✓.::n . This Addendum to Intergovernmental Agreement is entered into this ~Y of 11,~~ "'~ 2019, by and between the Champaign County Mental Health Board ("MHB") ~ the Champaign County Board for the Care and Treatment of Persons with a Developmental Disability ("DOB") and replaces the agreements outlined in the addendum dated September 17, 2014.

Whereas, MHB and DOB entered into an Intergovernmental Agreement dated June 30, 2012 and revised March 16, 2016 ("Agreement") and amended September 17, 2014,and

Whereas, MHB and DOB desire to amend the Agreement by providing for the sharing of costs related to the acquisition, maintenance, and disposition of residences to be used to provide Community Integrated Living Arrangement ("CILA") Services,

Now, therefore, MHB and DOB hereby agree as follows:

1. MHB will pay the remaining mortgage balance (interest and principal) which allowed for acquisition of residences in Champaign County to be leased to a CILA provider to provide housing to residents in Champaign County that qualify for CILA services.

2. By this action, as of May, 2019, the MHB will have contributed a total of $500,000, and the DOB $300,000, to the project.

3. MHB and DOB agree that for so long as a residence is owned by MHB and used to provide CILA services to residents of Champaign County, each party shall be responsible for one-half of all costs associated with the acquisition of such residences, the debt payments associated with such residences, the maintenance costs of such residences and the costs associated with any disposition of a residence. A. Prior to the contributions of the DOB becoming equal to those of the MHB, if expenses related to the CILA fund exceed the amount available in the annual budget, the DOB will transfer the additional amount to the CILA fund, reducing the remaining DOB obligation. B. After the contributions of each Board have become equal, the CILA fund will continue to receive equal contributions from each board, by annual interfund transfers, for ongoing expenses associated with the properties. This annual amount will be based on most recently completed fiscal year actual expenses plus 10%. C. If expenses related to the properties exceed the amount available in annual CILA fund budget, a request to transfer from CILA fund balance may be made. If fund balance is insufficient or transfer not possible, the Boards may agree to contribute equally to the fund as needed. ..

4. MHB and DDB agree that once a residence is no longer to be used to provide CILA services, MHB shall enter into a listing agreement with a realtor in an attemptto sell such residence. The parties agree that the proceeds, net of all selling expenses, from the sale of such residence shall be distributed equally to MHB and DOB. A If the homes are sold prior to such time as the total DDB contribution has become equal to that of the MHB, revenue from sale of the homes will be adjusted to balance them, after which, any reserve in the .CILA fund will be split equally between the two Boards, as interfund transfers from the CILA fund to each of the MHB fund and DDB fund. B. If the homes are sold after the contributions have become equal, the current balance of the CILA fund and proceeds from the sale of the homes will be split equally between the two boards, per the original agreement.

In witness whereof, the parties have executed this Addendum as of the date first written above.

CHAMPAIGN COUNTY DEVELOPMENTAL DISABILITIES BOARD CHAMPAIGN COUNTY C MENTAL HEALTH BOARD DECISION MEMORANDUM DATE: July 15, 2020 TO: Members, Champaign County Mental Health Board (CCMHB) FROM: Lynn Canfield, Mark Driscoll, and Kim Bowdry SUBJECT: University of Illinois "Building Evaluation Capacity: Year 6" Proposal Background:

For the last five years, the CCMHB has contracted with the University of Illinois to build evaluation capacity of funded programs. The initial proposal was the result of meetings with evaluators, staff, and Board representatives. This same group meets annually in June as the Program Evaluation Committee to review past performance and agency engagement and to gauge interest in continuing the project. CCMHB representatives are Dr. Moore and Dr. Rappaport. Staff participating are Lynn Canfield, Mark Driscoll, and Kim Bowdry. The consultants are Dr. Nicole Allen and Dr. Mark Aber, who have worked with funded agencies for many years and are familiar with the mission and work of the Boards. Last year, Dr. Gingold, a member of the CCDDB Board at the time, also participated in the meeting.

On June 24, 2020, the Committee met virtually via Zoom to discuss the proposal and renewal of the contract. Due to short notice, only members of the CCMHB were able join the meeting. Dr. Allen and Dr. Aber discussed positive experiences working with agencies the past year including the DDB funded programs. In addition to implementing the approved work plan, the evaluation team, as part of a self-evaluation exercise, surveyed agencies on their experiences working with the evaluation team in the past or present to inform future engagement. One outcome of the exercise, and reflected in the proposal, is a need to strengthen the back-end partnership with targeted programs by providing additional support on data collection and analysis and how to use these results to inform change in program services.

The evaluation team presents an annual report on the outcome of work with funded programs to the Board and to funded agencies each year. The presentation to the Mental Health Board is scheduled for the September 23, 2020 meeting. Part of the presentation is expected to include a summary of the program evaluation team's self-evaluation exercise. The evaluators and agencies with PY20 targeted programs will present at the August 25, 2020 meeting of the Mental Health and Developmental Disabilities Agencies Council (MHDDAC).

Throughout the last year, a representative of the evaluation team has periodically attended meetings of the MHDDAC to report on activities and services available to CCMHB/CCDDB funded programs. A brief update on how evaluation technical assistance has continued through remot; access during the COVID-19 shelter at home order was made by the evaluation team at the May MHDDAC meeting. Last year as initial discussion of renewing the contract was starting, the CCDDB expressed interest in the evaluation project. The CCDDB had not participated in the past, limiting access to program evaluation support services to CCMHB-funded programs. CCDDB participation has increased the number of targeted programs with the expressed intent of serving DDB funded programs, along with opening access to logic model workshops, consultation bank, and online resource repository to CCDDB funded programs.

A copy of the University of Illinois "Building Evaluation Capacity: Year 6" Proposal for Program Year 2021 is attached. Budget Impact:

The first year the CCMHB contracted for evaluation support was for an assessment of evaluation requirements and agency reports. Building off that assessment, years 2-5 focused on developing evaluation capacity within programs, including targeted intensive support to a small set of programs each year as well as quarterly follow-up with previously assisted targeted programs. Other services include supporting any CCMHB funded program through what is known as the "consultation bank" where a program can request technical assistance, holding Logic Model workshops, and building an online resource of documents and other evaluation related materials developed with supported agencies. In year five, targeted programs increased to five with two earmarked for CCDDB funded programs.

Renewal is recommended, to continue the progress achieved by prior targeted programs, to engage new programs with intensive evaluation technical assistance, and to offer consultation and other supports to all CCMHB and CCDDB funded programs and to the Boards. The proposed cost is $80,198 and includes services to CCDDB programs. CCDDB participation offsets the total contract amount by $33,803 for a final cost to the Board of $46,395.

Contingent on continued participation by the CCDDB, staff recommends the Board approve the contract proposal. Under the Intergovernmental Agreement, CCDDB participation would equal the agreed upon administrative cost rate of 42.15%. Decision Section:

Motion: Move to accept the University of Illinois Capacity Building Evaluation: Year 6 Proposal, and authorize the Executive Director to enter into a contract with the University of Illinois at a cost of $80,198, contingent upon the Champaign County Developmental Disabilities Board participation offsetting the contract amount by $33,803.

Abstract

The aim of this effort is to continue to build evaluation capacity for programs funded by the Champaign County Mental Health Board (CCMHB). In Year 6, we propose to continue to implement the recommendations and specific plans identified via Year l assessment of current evaluation activities and priorities and to build upon previous effort. Specifically, we will provide evaluation support to CCMHB funded agencies, work closely with agencies identified for intensive partnership to develop evaluation activities, and provide training/workshops on the development of logic models. However, in addition, in the coming year we wish to intensify partnerships with previously targeted programs to encourage greater data usage and translation.

Proposal and Deliverables

Statement of Purpose: The aim of this effort is to continue to build evaluation capacity for programs funded by the Champaign County Mental Health (CCMHB) and Developmental Disabilities Board (CCDDB). In Year 6, we propose to continue to implement the recommendations and specific plans identified via Year 1 assessment of current evaluation activities and priorities and to build upon our previous efforts over the last few years. In particular, we aim to intensify partnerships with previously targeted programs to encourage greater data usage and translation.

Specifically, we propose the following activities and deliverables.

l. Continue to Create a Leaming Organization among Funded Agencies and the CCMHB/CCDDB a. Prepare new "targeted" agencies to share information at MHDDAC meetings once/year by Summer, 2021 (as schedules allow). The actual presentation will occur in the July or August following the end of the fiscal year at the MHDDAC meeting

2. Continue to Support the Development of Theory of Change Logic Models. a. Offer 2 logic modeling workshops to support funded programs in model development in Fall 2020 b. Schedule and announce logic model training dates with 30 days advance notice c. Provide follow-up support to targeted agencies who submit a model to the team for review (and to agencies who choose to develop the model using "hours" from the consultation bank) 3. Choose three Programs for Targeted Evaluation Development in Consultation (up to two CCMHB and one CCDDB) a. Work in collaboration with up to three funded programs to develop evaluation plans and support them in the implementation of those plans (e.g., instrument development, data gathering, data reporting) b. The goal would be to guide an evaluation plan and process that can be implemented and sustained by the program in subsequent years

4. Choose three Programs for Targeted Evaluation Data Usage in Consultation (up to two CCMHB and one CCDDB) a. Work in collaboration with up to three funded programs to support ongoing evaluation implementation (e.g., data collection, data usage, data translation). b. The goal would be to emphasize translating evaluation findings to inform program activities and facilitate usage of evaluation data to make informed programmatic decisions.

5. Invite follow-up with all previously targeted agencies via the Consultation Bank. This could include (depending on agency need): a. Reviewing evaluation implementation progress b. Revising and refining logic models c. Reviewing gathered data and developing processes to analyze and present data internally and externally

6. Continue the Evaluation Consultation Bank with Agencies Who Have not Had Targeted Partnerships a. Offer a bank of consultation hours for use by funded programs b. Funded programs would request hours based on specific tasks i. Developing an evaluation focus ii. Completing a logic model iii. Developing and sustaining evaluation activities (particularly in targeted agencies) iv. Reporting data

7. Continue to Build a "Buffet" of Tools a. Maintain and expand a Google drive or other web-based repository for measures developed with and/or for funded programs

8. Offer two workshops with CCMHB/CCDDB funded agencies regarding data usage fundamentals including, for example: a. Data storage (setting up excel, confidential storage, identity keys) b. Basic analysis (shareware, means, standard deviations, change over time) c. Conceptualizing process and outcome evaluation questions based on the theory of change logic model d. Applying evaluation findings to inform programmatic decision-making 9. Meet with CCMHB/CCDDB members as requested to provide infonnation on, for example: a. The varied uses of evaluation b. Logic modeling process c. CCMHB/CCDDB goals and priorities with regard to evaluation d. Instantiating evaluation practices for the CCMHB and the boards' funded programs

Budget and Justification

Nicole Allen (.50 mo) and Mark Aber (I mo) (14,255 x 36.93%% benefits). Ors. Nicole Allen and Mark Aber would co-lead these evaluation activities. Both would reserve time throughout the year and intensively during a summer month (most likely May 15th to June 15th) to execute project deliverables.

Two Research Assistants- 11 mos ($49,278- I Imo 50%fte x 8.34%% benefits). A research assistant would assist in all facets of project execution which would but not be limited to supporting evaluation planning, workshop development, and collaboration/funded program partnership.

Indirect Costs (10% of Total Direct Costs $72,907) = $7,291

GRAND TOTAL $80,198 CHAMPAIGN COUNTY DEVELOPMENTAL DISABILITIES BOARD CHAMPAIGN COUNTY C MENTAL HEALTH BOARD DECISION MEMORANDUM

DATE: July 15, 2020 TO: Members, Champaign County Mental Health Board (CCMHB) FROM: Lynn Canfield, Executive Director SUBJECT: 211 Information and Referral Background: The purpose of this memorandum is to seek approval for renewal of CCDDB and Champaign County Mental Health Board (CCMHB) involvement with the United Way of Champaign County (UWCC) in support of the 211 information and referral call service provided by PATH. This includes an increase in the annual total cost, which is split by the boards, along with a revised memorandum of understanding.

Also attached is a copy of the contract between PATH and United Way for the upcoming contract year, with total cost of $42,660. If approved, the CCMHB and CCDDB would pay $21,330 combined, with cost to the CCDDB of $8,991 and cost to the CCMHB $12,339. Under this MOU, this cost sharing would continue, with annual changes up to the new maximum amount.

CCMHB/CCDDB staff meet as needed with UWCC staff on many issues related to this project, especially as we learn from providers and community members about their use of this and other information and referral services. Agencies update PATH about programs, contacts, and capacities in order to ensure best 211 service to residents of the County. 211 is a project of National United Way and meets Alliance of Information and Referral Systems standards. We will continue to explore the possibility of partnership with the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline and online resource enhancements currently being designed by the UIUC Community Data Clinic. Decision Section: Motion to authorize the Executive Director to enter into an updated Memorandum of Understanding with the United Way of Champaign County for 211 service: Approved ---- Denied -- - - Modified ---- Additional Information Needed Motion to approve the annual total cost of$21,330 to be shared with the CCDDB as described and subject to future adjustment per the terms of the new Memorandum of Understanding: Approved Denied ----____ Modified Additional Jnformatio~

DATE: July 15. 2020 TO: Members, Champaign County Mental Health Board (CCMHB) FROM: Lynn Canfield. Shandra Summerville SUBJECT: Anti-Stigma Films through Roger Ebert's Virtual Festivals 2020 Background:

The purpose of this memorandum is to provide the Board with an update on our partnership with the Alliance for Inclusion and Respect (AIR) for sponsorship of an anti-stigma film during the Roger Ebert's Film Festival's smaller scale 2020 virtual events. AIR involvement with this high profile annual festival event has been central to our anti-stigma efforts over many years. with a sponsored film and the festival's support for related community activities. AIR builds on the festival's momentum for year-round activities. Preparations for the 2020 festival, art shows, and promotions were underway when the event was cancelled due to COVID-19. The movie "A Most Beautiful Thing" had been selected. with themes of trauma. community violence, innovative approaches to youth engagement. and resilience. It may not be available for the 2021 festival, so the organizers suggested, and the CCMHB approved during their June meeting, that an alternative film be offered in 2021, with 2020 sponsorship payment applied. For AIR engagement with the festival and filmmakers of "A Most Beautiful Thing" during summer 2020, the Board also approved support of an online event, pending coordination and promotion of as much AIR and community participation as possible. See https://www.amostbeautifulthing.com/. Update on 2020 Activities:

June 25: The festival invited AIR members and their networks to participate in a free online screening of the documentary "No Small Matter" which had been a contender for 2020 sponsorship and focuses on early childhood - https://www.nosmallmatter.com/ Prior to the film itself, this virtual event featured a children's activity. Alfre Woodard introduced the film, which was followed by an Ebertfest panel discussion. Depending on success of this event, the festival may explore future discussions with people associated with this film and our local experts.

Mid to Late July 2020: At the time of this writing, the plan begins with 50 Eggs, the studio and distributor of "A Most Beautiful Thing," providing us a Vimeo link to the film. to be shared with the Ebertfest audience and AIR members, pending licensing issues and practical considerations. They could use the code to view the film from a Monday through Wednesday. On Thursday of that week, community and AIR members will participate in a discussion with filmmakers, likely moderated by Chaz Ebert or Eric Pierson. Virtual meetings of the filmmakers and local youth will happen that Friday. On behalf of the film, participants would include Mary Mazzio, Alvin Ross, and Arshay Cooper, whose bios are below. Youth and leadership would be invited from (ii) DREAAM House, Goal Getters, Paign to Peace, or other Coalition groups and other youth serving groups.

Bios of potential panelists from the film: ALVIN ROSS lives in Chicago where he owns and operates MOVE MASTERS, one of the top ranked moving companies in the city. Alvin makes a point of hiring ex-felons and others who have difficulty finding employment in the traditional job economy. Like other members of the Manley Rowing Team, Alvin learned entrepreneurship skills as part of the rowing program. Alvin has two children.

ARSHAY COOPER is a Benjamin Franklin award-winning author, a Golden Oar recipient for his contributions to the sport of rowing, a motivational speaker, and an activist, particularly around issues of accessibility for low-income young people. He is currently based in New York City. Arshay grew up on the West Side of Chicago, witnessing family and friends become products of their environment. But a chance encounter changed Arshay's life. In 1997, he joined ( and later became captain of) the first African American high school rowing team at Manley High School, an experience which catapulted Arshay out of the West Side. He dedicated two years of his life to AmeriCorps, focusing on diversity and inclusion, and soon thereafter attended Le Cordon Bleu, becoming a personal chef for hotels and professional athletes. After years of working in the food service industry, Arshay returned to his true passion, working with young people. He coached rowing at the Chicago Urban Youth Rowing Club and worked as the youth program director for the Victory Outreach's Midwest/Gulf Coast region, recruiting young people of color to the sport. Arshay has also started several rowing programs for low-income children across the country, including The East Side Indoor Rowing afterschool program for New York City 7th to 12th graders. A Most Beautiful Thing is based on his memoir, Suga Water, which Flatiron will republish in July 2020 under the new title A Most Beautiful Thing. Seeking to share his experience, Arshay now travels the country speaking at events and venues far and wide, from prisons to colleges to professional sports teams.

MARY MAZZIO, an award-winning documentary film director, Olympic athlete, and former law firm partner, is Founder and CEO of 50 Eggs, Inc., an independent film production company dedicated to making socially impactful films. Mary wrote, directed, and produced the highly-acclaimed films, Underwater Dreams, TEN9EJGHT, The Apple Pushers, A Hero/or Daisy, Contrarian, Apple Pie, and Lemonade Stories. Her newest documentary film, I AM JANE DOE, narrated by Academy Award nominee, Jessica Chastain, opened in select cities with AMC Theatres in 2017 and is now on Netflix. The film catalyzed (on a bipartisan basis) legislation signed by the President in 2018. She is currently Filmmaker-in-Residence at Babson College.

Ms. Canfield reviewed the agenda.

NEW BUSINESS:

Impact of COVID-19 Discussion: A Briefing Memorandum with agency updates on operation of funded services during COVID- 19 pandemic was included in the Board packet.

Anti-Stigma Film -Ebertfest 2021: A Decision Memorandum on sponsorship of films at the 2021 Ebertfest and a 2020 virtual event was included in the packet. The purpose of the memorandum was to seek approval, in partnership with the Alliance for Inclusion and Respect (AIR), of sponsorship of an anti-stigma film at the 2021 Roger Ebert's Film Festival and for a smaller scale virtual festival event during 2020.

Preparations for the 2020 festival, art shows, and promotions were well along when the event was cancelled to slow the spread of COVID-19. The movie "A Most Beautiful Thing" had been selected, with themes of trauma, community violence, innovative approaches to youth engagement, and resilience: https://www.amostbeautifulthing.com/the-film/. Due to rights issues, the festival organizer cannot guarantee this movie will be available for showing during the 2021 festival dates. They suggest an alternative film to be offered in 2021, with 2020 sponsorship payment applied directly to that showing. In addition, there remains a possibility for AIR to meaningfully engage with the festival and filmmakers of "A Most Beautiful Thing" during 2020, taking online as many features of AIR collaboration as possible. Ebertfest will work on an online showing of this movie, together with online engagements between filmmakers and Champaign County organizers and participants. The cost for sponsorship is $5,000 to make AIR the dedicated sponsor of this 2020 virtual event.

The cost for our sponsorship had been lowered to $15,000. This amount was approved for 2020, and the payment issued. Members of AIR had contributed a total of $3,475 toward participation ($1,980 more was pledged but not received). Upon cancellation of the 2020 festival, all chose prepayment for 2021 over refunds, provided the CCMHB approves involvement in 2021 . This means that there will be no charge for involvement during 2021, if the Board approves. The cost of sponsorship for the virtual innovation during 2020 is $5,000, to be included in the Public Relations line of approved budget.

MOTION: Dr. Fowler moved to approve sponsorship of an anti stigma film in Roger Ebert's Film Festival 2021, with 2020 payment applied so that no payment will be due in 2021. Mr. Patterson seconded. A voice vote was taken and the motion passed.

CCDDB: During March, April, May, and June a significant portion of time was spent working on Program Summaries, recommendations for funding, creating special provisions for each of the contracts, and then developing contracts. PY20 3rd Quarter reports were also reviewed during this time.

New claims were developed for the online reporting system for use during PY21. I created the claims options in the online reporting system and created the I st Quarter programs for agency reporting. Service claims are reported as With Person Served or On Behalf of Person Served. Contacts with TPCs will be entered as hours, rather than quarter hours in previous years. The place option has also changed to 'On Site' (any agency building) or 'Off Site' (community or the participants' home).

I worked with the agencies and the software developer to make necessary changes to any Excel files used for data entry. I also created cheat sheets for the new service and place options and shared those with agency staff.

In late June, two contract orientation meetings were held with CU Autism Network, this is the only newly funded CCDDB program for PY21. Contract negotiations were completed via email with DSC regarding the Community First contract. The agency rejected the original benchmarks in the contract due to concerns related to the pandemic. Decreased benchmarks were created and were also rejected due to service concerns related to Covid-19. At the time of this writing, a Zoom meeting has been scheduled to discuss the benchmarks.

CCDDB Mini-Grant: Mini-grant purchases were initially slowed due to the pandemic. Several more purchases have been made during recent months. I continue to have difficulty reaching some of the Mini-Grant recipients to confirm their items to be purchased. I also created the Mini-Grant Survey using Survey Monkey and mailed out paper copies of the survey to the Mini-Grant recipients with no email address on file.

Learning Opportunities: Due to the Covid-19 pandemic, in-person learning opportunities were put on hold. I am currently planning virtual presentations and have reached out to presenters. All library reservations for in person events were canceled through the end of the year, due to the pandemic and access to the library.

MHDDAC: I participated in the monthly meetings of the MHDDAC, as well as the Special Meetings that were held over the past few months.

NACBHDD: I participated in monthly I/DD committee calls. The NACBHDD Summer Board Meeting is scheduled for late July 20-22, 2020. This will be a virtual event.

ACMHAI: I participated in the ACMHAI I/DD committee calls. I also participated in an ACMHAI Town Hall meeting held in April and an additional webinar hosted by the ACMHAI Children's Behavioral Health Committee.

Disability Resource Expo: I participated in multiple Expo Steering Committee meetings. I also participated in a webinar, exploring online platforms for use for a possible virtual Expo. I participated in the Abilities Expo virtual event to gain knowledge on the accessibility of the platform used for the event.

I have also participated in multiple Zoom meetings with the Expo Consultants and U of I Students who are working on behalf of the Expo to create short videos. The Students are reaching out to Expo exhibitors to create short 'faces and places' videos about the services the agency offers and the staff person someone might encounter on an initial visit. @ Other activities: I participated in nearly 100 webinars, including several hosted by The Arc of Illinois and IDHS-DDD, topics included closures due to Covid-19 and looking at safely reopening.

I also participated in a Zoom meeting with Community Choices' members. This was a check-in to create connections with the Community Choices members and people in the community. I was asked questions by the members and we had a great conversation.

I participated in the LEAP sponsored Griffin-Hammis Customized Employment webinar on June 8-11, 2020.

I also participated in multiple Zoom meetings with the United Way, Cunningham Township, the CCMHB, Path, Anita Chan, and other students from UIUC to continue the discussion of a pilot app or a responsive website using enhanced data from the 2-1-1 PATH website resource list.

I participated in a Program Evaluation Committee meeting with the UIUC Program Evaluation Team.

I participated in the Local Interagency Council meeting, held virtually.

Summary of Activity

PY21 Contracts: Since the Board made the allocation decisions in May, the primary focus has been on managing the process to ensure contracts were executed prior to the start of the new contract year. While I have primary responsibility for the mental health and substance use disorder contracts, it requires a team effort to complete the various steps in the process.

A spreadsheet is created to track multiple points in the contracting phase including brief notes on any special provisions required or other unique aspects of the award that need to be considered. This year such notes referenced whether the contract required the award to be pro-rated due to new but vacant staff positions, a mid-year report was required, or the program was considered for an extended two year term. Columns track when contracts are issued and then returned, and whether a contract requires only a signature or if revisions to the application are needed. Revisions may involve changes or corrections to the Cultural and Linguistic Competence Plan, scope of work, or budget.

Drafting the contracts is fairly straightforward but does require some advance work. Special provisions can be somewhat involved as they can vary from contract to contract or be appropriate for a certain set of contracts but not others. There is also consideration of retaining special provisions from the prior contract year. Elements of the provisions are included in the Allocation Decision Memorandum so the intent is defined and full text may be drafted but not finalized. The Special Provisions are compiled and then referenced back to individual contracts. They are then inserted into the respective contract as each contract has the standard information added to the boilerplate. All contracts were completed and mailed out no later than June 5.

Communication with agencies occurs throughout the contract phase. Initially, this is to inform agencies of any required revisions, supplemented with copies of the program summaries with notes on what changes or corrections are needed highlighted. Access to the online system is provided and program applications forms reopened. All revisions and signed contracts were th expected to be completed and returned by June 24 •

Since the revision notices, various agencies have been in contact regarding the required adjustments to submitted application forms. Technical assistance and clarification was provided throughout the process. The CU Autism network, a new agency funded through the CCDDB, had two contract orientation meetings; one to provide an overview of the contract requirements and a follow-up meeting to answer additional questions primarily about financial management. I participated while the meetings were led by Kim Bowdry. No such meetings were held with CCMHB agencies as the two new contracts awarded were with existing agencies.

Champaign County Head Start did contact me and other members of the team about the amount of the award for the Early Childhood Mental Health Services contract. CCHS made an error in the amount requested versus the amount expensed in the application. This discrepancy was noted in the program summary but not specifically addressed by CCHS during the allocation review process. The contract award matched the amount requested and required revisions to the @) personnel and expense forms. The end result is that while the application proposed adding a new fourth social skills coach position, the award will only support the existing three coach positions. Considering budget constraints, it is unlikely an increase would have been recommended supporting the fourth position. The new contract does carry a special provision requiring the agency to demonstrate it has pursued other funding to expand support for the program as the CCMHB is currently the sole source of support.

Separate communications were also sent to agencies recommended for multi-year contracts and to those with new staff positions that required the award be pro-rated based on the new vacant positions. Of the eleven programs offered a multi-year contract, only Mahomet Area Youth Club declined the opportunity for its Members Matter program. Four programs were notified the contract award would be pro-rated. Of the four, one filled the new positions prior to the start of the contract year and had the contract amount restored to the full award. For more information on the pro-rated contracts please see the amendment report and the RACES Counseling Contract Decision Memorandum included in the Board packet under New Business.

The set of PY20 contracts with terms extended through the end of PY2 l also required attention during the contracting phase. Just as some PY21 awards required revisions to the original application, all the PY20 extended contracts needed to update the PY20 applications for PY2 l. All were reminded of this requirement with a detailed e-mail. The PY20 applications were cloned over to PY21 to aid them in the process. And technical assistance provided on request. This set of contracts also were issued amendments to add the COVID contract language as a special provision. For more details, see the Amendment Report in the B_oard packet.

Program Evaluation Committee: Following a meeting with the Program Evaluation Committee, a draft proposal has been received from the University of Illinois Program Evaluation Team. A Decision Memorandum with proposed scope of work and budget is included in the Board packet.

Criminal Justice - Mental Health: The CIT Steering Committee met via ZOOM for the first time since March. While some time was allotted for agency updates, the majority of the meeting was spent reviewing data on CIT contacts for the :first half of 2020 and getting a progress report on the One Door Crisis Response Initiative. Based on my notes, a few highlights from the data include of 842 CIT contacts by law enforcement, 5% resulted in arrest with another 1% getting a notice to appear and 82 individuals have had five or more contacts and account for 23% of all contacts. Regarding progress on One Door, planning has been impacted by the pandemic but the principals have started to talk again. Target d~te for opening has been pushed back to early 2021.

The Reentry Council will reconvene on July 8 via ZOOM. Updates from participating agencies and stakeholders will likely be the focus. The Council last met in early March.

Other Activity:

• Continued participation in various meetings including the Mental Health Developmental Disabilities Agencies Council, the United Way Community Impact Committee, the Council of Service Providers to the Homeless, and the Rantoul Service Providers Group. • Viewed a number of webinars on wide range of topics. I am currently in the midst of a three part series on Mental Health Care for Farming and Rural Communities. The series has placed an emphasis on understanding the unique cultural aspects of farm communities. Stephanie Howard-Gallo Operations and Compliance Coordinator Staff Report - July 2020 Board Meeting

SUMMARY OF ACTIVITY:

Audits: As previously reported, Promise Healthcare (CCMHB funded) did not submit an audit by their extended due date. Payments continue to be withheld.

Compliance: 3rd Quarter financial and program reports for all funded programs were due at the end of April. A funding suspension letter was sent to UP Center for not submitting reports; however, they quickly resolved the compliance issue.

Community Awareness/ Anti-Stigma Efforts/ Alliance for Inclusion and Respect (AIR): A Facebook page promotes AIR's mission, members, artists, events, and news articles of interest. I am one of the administrators of the page.

International Galleries at Lincoln Square in Urbana has hosted AIR artists free of charge for well over a year. This was stopped during COVID-19 and we are discussing when to resume safely.

Contracts: Following the Board's allocation decisions at the May Board meeting, contracts were drafted for close to programs whose term begins July 1, 2020. A spreadsheet developed by Mark Driscoll and Kim Bowdry tracks the processing of contracts. The spreadsheet indicates which contracts require negotiations, special provisions, revised CLC plans, and if revised program and/ or budget forms must be submitted. I track the date the contract is issued and date that it is returned .

I sent out contracts with an "award" letter. The award letter indicates the amount of money allocated to the program and if negotiation or revised forms are necessary . A copy of the "Contract Process and Information Sheet" is included with the award letter and contracts. The sheet provides a summary of the process and key dates, notes on revised plan requirements, refers to potential special provisions, and a reminder to read the contract. Once the contracts are signed and returned, copies are provided to the Financial Manager (Chris Wilson) and the Champaign County Auditor before payments can be issued . Contracts returned after the deadline will usually result in delayed payments. Completing the contract process is time consummg. It's a group effort among staff members. There were several agencies that returned contracts after the deadline, which has resulted in delayed payments.

Records and Data Retention: Master files are being set up for the new contract year beginning July 1. Paper files are kept on contracts, funding applications, audits, board minutes, site visit reports, program/financial reports, and any correspondence being sent or received. Generally, we keep 10 years of paper files in the master file room.

DisABILITY Expo: I am attending Steering Committee meetings.

Thrivent Financial's grant(s) for the purchase of snacks and water could not be used at the in-person event we had planned for March. Because the refreshments had already been purchased, they were donated to two organizations involved with service to the Champaign County public. Lynn and I delivered the boxes of refreshments to Urbana Neighborhood Connections and the Cunningham Township Office. Both organizations were very thankful for the food items and water.

Other: • Preparing meeting materials for CCMHB/CCDDB regular meetings and study sessions/ presentations. • Composing minutes from the meetings. • Attending meetings and study sessions for the CCDDB/CCMHB. • Attended two National Association of Counties (NACo) calls. • Virtually attended Community Coalition meetings and First Followers forum . • Participated in contract orientation with CU Autism Network (CCDDB funded). • Attended a MHDDAC meeting. 2020 July Staff Report- Shandra Summerville Cultural and Linguistic Competence Coordinator

COVID 19:

COVID-19{Aka-Coronavirus, "this Virus Thing", "The Rona", "The Virus") has changed how life is viewed about how life is viewed. Our community {the world) has experienced a level of change that no one would have anticipated that would impact how we would provide care to the most vulnerable people. There was flexibility and adjustment that had to be made quickly, as the CLC Coordinator there was a level of preparation that I did not know I would actually be ready for such a transition to working virtually versus, actually working at home during a pandemic. To say that this time has been hard, that is an understatement. With all of the training and support that I have provided to organizations on how to shift to be understanding of the most vulnerable communities, I was in a position to provide support to people that were once viewed as strong, become vulnerable to cultural shift that did not allow services to be provided in person. To say the least, work still had to go on, and late-night hours in the office are now, all from the very space that was once considered a place of peace and solitude.

This month's report will provide a snapshot of the CCMHB/DDB CLCJourney and resources to begin thinking about how we move forward to think about how to address racism as funder.

Mental Health First Aid-

On June 15, 2020 there was an updated Mental Health First Aid Instructor Training. I am completing the virtual training and blended learning option. Once I have completed the instructor training, classes will be offered to members of our community.

Anti-Stigma Activities/Community Collaborations and Partnerships

Disability Resource Expo: I worked with the committee members to look at how to realize an opportunity to do a virtual Expo. We looked at several platforms and there was an issue with accessibility for people living with disabilities that would limit full participation in a virtual experience. The members of the committee will decide on what the next steps will be. I will no longer serve in the volunteer coordination role moving forward. I will provide support to Jim and Barb as needed as staff member of CCMHB/DDB.

AIR- Alliance for Inclusion and Respect: I met with Ebertfest representatives to discuss the opportunity of a virtual screening for the sponsored film.

Short Resource List to Start the Conversation About Racism as a Decision Maker As the CLC Coordinator, I am amazed about the wealth of perspective and reading lists that so many people have just passed along. As I continue to look at the value of cultural competence, I have realized that this journey I have been challenged to think beyond, my lived experience and appreciate the culture that every person brings. I have also learned that it is time to look at the foundation of why every culture is not appreciated or accepted. This list of some resources to begin to start the process of how we can begin to reset and see how cultural and linguistic competence will continue to impact the programs and the quality of care that we can provide to our most vulnerable communities.

Abstract Racial trauma, an ongoing consequence of historical trauma, has deleterious effects on the well-being of Africana communities. The psychological literature primarily reflects individual processes in the relationship between racial trauma and healing. Going beyond individualistic approaches, we present a community healing framework informed by multidisciplinary scholarship: Community Healing and Resistance Through Storytelling (C-HeARTS).Three major components of the framework are delineated: (a) justice as both a condition of and an outcome of community healing; (b) culturally syntonic processes (i.e., storytelling and resistance) that direct the renarrating of trauma and act as conduits for transformation; and (c) psychological dimensions (i.e., connectedness, collective memory, and critical consciousness) that promote justice-informed outcomes.

Keywords African Americans, community healing, justice, racial trauma, storytelling

Systems of oppression, rooted in historical trauma- massive violence with the intent to impair and/or kill a group of people that cumulatively manifests as chronic psychological wounding across surviving generations- undermine the well-being of Africana communities (Burkett, 2017; Karlsen et al., 2005; Pieterse et al., 2012; Reitz & Banerjee, 2007). An ongoing consequence of historical trauma is racial trauma, which has deleterious effects on its victims. Racial trauma is defined as real and perceived danger, threats, witnessing harm, or humiliating and shaming events to ethnoracial individuals similar to the self that may be sudden, beyond their control, and emotionally overwhelm ing (Comas-Diaz et al., 2019). Racial trauma may emerge in response to rac ism (e.g., racial discrimination and microaggressions) that evoke stress and trauma reactions (Anderson & Stevenson, 2019; Carter, 2007; Nadal, 2018; Pieterse et al., 2010); and may be recurring, systemic, and intergenerational (Comas-Diaz et al., 2019). Thus, racial trauma encompasses cumulative expe riences of racism and has detrimental effects on psychological well-being (Helms et al., 201 O; Williams et al., 2018). Among people of African ancestry living in the United States, racial trauma has contributed to poor physical health (Kaholokula, 2016; Kendall-Tackett, 2009) and psychological distress (Polanco-Roman et al., 2016). Additionally, the psychosocial impacts of racial trauma may include the devaluation of the self (Graham et al., 2016; Williams et al., 2018), erosion of family ties (Anderson & Stevenson, 2019), and weak ened community relationships (Riina et al., 2013). Increasing numbers of clinical models identify the impact of racial trauma on individual well-being and suggest personal healing strategies (e.g., Bryant Davis & Ocampo, 2006; Carter, 2007; Comas-Diaz, 2016). Both family and community-oriented scholarship that focus on racial trauma recognize not only the importance of personal healing strategies but also advocate for collective healing processes (Anderson et al., 2018; Chavez-Duenas et al., 2019; French et al., 2019). Taking community-oriented scholarship a step further, we recom mend partnering with communities in ways that focus on community strengths and address community challenges to restore a healthy balance within persons and among individuals (Grills et al., 2018; Myers et al., 2018; Some, 1993). Chioneso et al. 3

Thus, we propose a culturally syntonic community healing framework pertain ing to racial trauma that highlights justice-informed outcomes demonstrated in psychology and health literatures. In so doing, the Community Healing and Resistance Through Storytelling (C-HeARTS) framework is delineated. Our framework synthesizes the existing scholarship on racial trauma and healing strategies to reflect the multiple processes associated with community healing. To establish a common language within the racial trauma scholarship, com munity healing is first defined. Next, justice as a foundational concept is dis cussed before we elaborate on the roles of two proposed culturally syntonic mechanisms: storytelling and resistance. Finally, we review and synthesize the literature on trauma and healing to illustrate three psychological dimensions and accompanying collective interventions that together inform processes that promote community healing. Ultimately, our goal is to advance community as an agent of change while centering justice and the important role of cultural practices to facilitate community healing.

Community Healing Community and healing are often separate concepts in scholarly discourse, whereas community healing is rarely discussed in psychological literature. Although community has multiple meanings, community as locality (e.g., neighborhood) and community as a relational group without place restric tions (e.g., membership in a labor union) are two salient distinctions made in the social sciences (Bradford, 2017; Kloos et al., 2012). Irrespective of disci plinary lens, most concepts of community reflect a sense of connectedness through geography, shared history, culture, a sense of belonging, influence, the fulfillment of needs, and effective mediums of communication (Farwell & Cole, 2002; McMillan & Chavis, 1986). What is also emphasized here is that community is a collective change agent, a "unit of solution in society" through which people can proactively address trauma-related problems within their locality and relational groups (Checkoway, 1995, p. 3). Like the term community, healing is a positively described term that lacks an easily recognizable definition. Some healing definitions emphasize spiritu ality. In Latino ethnic psychology, healing and sabiduria are interlinked. Sabiduria is to perceive illness as a spiritual development opportunity that requires personal evolvement and connectedness with others (Comas-Diaz, 2006). While healing is more readily understood as physiological and behav ioral improvements, healing is often perceived as an individual journey toward wellness that involves the personal transcendence of suffering (Egnew, 2005). However, other definitions of healing rooted in trauma scholarship indicate that creating a collective memory is a key aspect of healing trauma that 4 Journal of Black Psychology00(0) involves transitioning an individual's private pain to the public domain (Puvimanasinghe & Price, 2016; Stepakoff et al., 2006). When personal heal ing is embedded within a communal framework, we argue that a greater trans formational process will be facilitated by a shared collective memory, which can help shift bodies, minds, and spirits from a status of suffering to repair and create opportunities to evolve (Myers, 2013; Some, 1993). Given the importance ascribed to the terms community and healing, the existence of community healing scholarship is a reasonable expectation. To date, a body of literature that promotes communal practices, and increasing critical consciousness has been unfolding for over 20 years within Indigenous (Brave Heart & DeBruyn, 1998; Duran et al., 2008; Kowanko et al., 2009; Warry, 1998) and African-centered scholarship (Akbar et al., 1980; Grills & Rowe, 1998; Kambon, 1992; Myers, 1993). Identifying links between preva lent psychosocial diseases (e.g., suicidality) among North American Indigenous peoples and macrostructures ( e.g., colonialism) resulted in the coining of the term "historical trauma" and the development of the Historical Trauma and Unresolved Grief (HTUG) Intervention for American Indians (Brave Heart, 2003; Brave Heart & DeBruyn, 1998). Using the HTUG model, Brave Heart and DeBruyn (l 998) described American Indian participants' community healing as occurring through facil itated communal grief rituals that incorporate traditional practices (e.g., sto rytelling) and involve extended kin networks. Engaging in these processes had a positive impact on participants' identity formation, a sense of belong ing, recognition of a shared history, and future survival of the group (Brave Heart & DeBruyn, 1998). A major outcome of their community healing engagement processes was the Takini Network, a Lakota Nation holocaust survivors' association that provides historical trauma training to human ser vice providers (Brave Heart & DeBruyn, 1998). Other structural-focused community healing approaches used by North American Indigenous com munities have included the following: (a) designing culturally appropriate health care initiatives such as the People Awakening Team, an Alaska Native people's project that records life stories in narrative format to identify protec tive variables that prevent alcohol abuse (Duran et al., 2008); and (b) restor ing cultural values, language, and traditions by establishing a Sagamok First Nation controlled school (Warry, 1998). From an African-centered perspective, healing is a community endeavor that involves maintaining a harmonious balance between the spiritual realm and physical world (Jackson-Lowman, 2004; Mariette, 2013; Some, 1993). This holistic perspective regards animate life forms and inanimate objects as divine sources of energy within an African metaphysical hierarchy: God, gods, spirits, ancestors, and then humans (Omonzejele, 2008). God is considered the Chioneso et al. 5 supreme source of healing from which all sources of healing are derived. Special deities (e.g., Osanyin and Agwu, Yoruba and Igbo deities, respectively) and spirits are guardians who guide the curative use of nature's vast healing energies (Opoku, 1978; Washington, 2010). (Re )establishing spiritual harmony with one's ancestors is a healing prerequisite that allows for access to special cures (Omonzejele, 2008). To meet human needs, the interdependency of a community creates opportunities to achieve what is difficult to achieve alone when the following commitments are upheld: unity, trust, openness, love and caring, uplifting elders who are the collective memory of the community, respect for nature's medicinal wisdom, and honoring the ancestors (Some, 1993). Cultural healing practices may include specific rituals, drumming, danc ing, singing, and storytelling (Monteiro & Wall, 2011; Some, 1993; Stepakoff et al., 2006). While African concepts of wellness generally characterize a per son's health status as a communal affair, it also characterizes human knowledge as limited: incapable of explaining all that exists on Earth and beyond (Fu-Kiau, 1991 ). Therefore, healing is predicated on the maintenance of positive relations between humans and the spiritual realm, nature, and among fellow human beings (Jackson-Lowman, 2004; Omonzejele, 2008; Opoku, 1978). Mental and physical pain represents a soul seeking realignment with the spiritual world, restoration of inner power, and the opportunity to grow (Fu-Kiau, 1991; Some, 1993). Operating from an African-centered world view, the Community Healing Network and the Association of Black Psychologists sought to heal soul wounds within Africana communities. They jointly developed Emotional Emancipation Circles (EECs) to expose historical trauma and overturn "the pernicious lies of Black inferiority [nar ratives that] fall under the broader rubric of racism" (Grills et al., 2016, p. 337). EECs are designed to be safe cultural spaces for people of African ancestry to share their stories and engage in critical community reflection through a facilitated group process. While engendering self-determination and cultural integrity, the sign of an effective EEC is the development of civi cally engaged participants organizing community actions that reduce sys temic violence in Africana communities (Grills et al., 2016). Racial trauma occurs within an oppressive sociopolitical context (Comas Diaz et al., 2019). Treatment models that promote a client's resistance strate gies (e.g., filing charges against racist perpetrators and lobbying for antiracist policies; Bryant-Davis & Ocampo, 2006); social action (e.g., framing racism as a form of ethnoviolence while advocating for racial equality; Comas-Diaz, 2016); and connections among individuals, families, and communities to their collective cultural strengths (Chavez-Duenas et al., 2019) highlight the impor tance of critical consciousness in the healing process. The need for clinical solutions is important but limited without community healing interventions 6 Journal of Black Psychology00(0)

Therefore, the com munity healing concept emphasizes collective responsibility and advances a critical consciousness that resists disempowennent using culturally restorative practices to enable self-determined realities, which should be understood as justice (Fanon, 2018; Mccaslin, 2005). Based on our review of community healing scholarship, we argue that community healing is a multilevel process that is composed of three compo nents as illustrated in Figure 1. First, at the core of community healing is jus tice; a guiding principle that is both a condition of and outcome of community healing (Myers et al., 2018; Prilleltensky, 2012). Second, culturally syntonic processes working in tandem, such as storytelling and resistance, may facili tate the renarrating of trauma and serve as motivating factors that bring behav iors into focus and ideas into action (Burkett, 2017; Harrell, 2015; Myers, 2013). Finally, community healing consists of three key psychological dimen sions: connectedness, collective memory, and critical consciousness. We inte grate these various perspectives to define community healing as an ongoing multilevel process whereby oppressed groups strengthen their connectedness and collective memory through culturally syntonic processes in ways that pro mote critical consciousness to achieve optimal states of justice. Chioneso et al. 7

C-HeARTS Framework Justice If "justice is what love looks like in public" (West, 2014 ), then justice in the United States is obscure, at best, for significant numbers of African descent people (Alexander, 2012). When examining racial trauma within Africana communities, the meaning of mental health and well-being within an oppressive context cannot be ignored (Anderson & Stevenson, 2019; Myers & Speight, 2010). For example, with the overpolicing of predominately Africana communities, research indicates that a disproportionate number of Black women are incarcerated (approximately 19%) or under correctional surveillance and experience high rates of depression (Malcolme et al., 2019). Black males have greater dire encounters with the police (e.g., increased negative perceptions of their personhood) and are twice as likely to be killed by the police before the age of 21 years compared with their White male counterparts (Harris & Amutah-Onukagha, 2019). Thus, con ceptualized as a moral ideal in the C-HeARTS framework,justice is a com mitment to right interrelationships between the spiritual realm, nature, and among humans; it encompasses ethical behaviors such as seeking truth, harmony, balance, and reciprocity (Karenga, 2004). By centralizing justice as a guiding principle within healing, a communi ty's status will more profoundly shift from suffering to thriving whenjustice infonned outcomes are promoted at multiple psychosocial levels (Myers et al., 2018; Prilleltensky, 2012; Watts et al., 2011). Centralizing justice requires assessing, what Prilleltensky (2012) described as, objective well being (e.g., access to food, nonabusive relationships, adequate pay, and a clean environment) and subjective well-being (e.g., perceptions of life satis faction, emotional support, positive working climate, and freedom to express political opinions). Objective and subjective indicators of well-being occur within three spheres of life: (a) personal sphere (e.g., feeling safe and accepted; more access to social capital); (b) interpersonal sphere (e.g. , mak ing decisions; fair sharing of obligations and privileges); and (c) organiza tional sphere ( e.g., reward and effort are aligned; systems in place to promote fairness). When both indicators of well-being are promoted in each sphere of life, then realizing justice-informed outcomes are experienced at higher lev els of thriving (Prilleltensky, 2012). Centralizing justice will also call public attention to the fact that "soul wounds-the cumulative psychological wounds that result from historical traumatic experiences, such as coloniza tion, genocide, slavery, dislocation, and other related trauma"-· are as detri mental as bodily wounds (Comas-Diaz et al., 2019, p. 2). 8 Journal of Black Psychology00(0)

Equally important, justice is incomplete without embodying cultural integrity. For example, Moving to the Beat, a 4-year social action research project used hip hop as a language of social change to generate a "social therapeutic space" between youth in Sierra Leone and the United States seek ing positive collective identities that "encompasses the trauma, ideals, hopes and losses born of their common and differing histories" (Haaken et al., 2012, p. 64). Similarly, African American youth residing in violent and underre sourced neighborhoods reported that the development of urban dance cul hues (e.g., Krumping) cultivated sacred community healing spaces that allowed them to make statements, construct collective identities, elevate the importance of their lives, and reconnect to their spirit (Monteiro & Wall, 2011). In other words, achieving justice requires a community to proactively engage its cultural systems to experience justice as healing (Mccaslin, 2005).

Culturally Syntonic Processes:The Roles of Storytelling and Resistance Culturally syntonic processes in the C-HeARTS framework are understood to be "historical, socio-politically-situated, and organizing . .. patterns of being, believing, bonding, belonging, behaving, and becoming" that are evident, for example, in communication styles and healing practices among a group of people with shared identities or defining experiences (Harrell, 2015, p. 19). For a community to function optimally (i.e., justly), culturally syntonic pro cesses that involve storytelling and resistance will likely nurture community bonds (Banks-Wallace, 2002) and direct the development of a community action plan grounded in cultural wisdom (Armah, 2010; Mariette, 2013; Myers & Speight, 201 O; Woods, 2009). Thus, storytelling in tandem with resistance are proposed culturally syntonic processes deemed appropriate for Africana communities to support the renarrating of trauma and act as con duits for transformation (Denham, 2008).

Storytelling. Although not unique to Africana communities, storytelling is a rich oral tradition found to be an effective healing intervention (Brave Heart & DeBruyn, 1998; Bryant-Davis & Ocampo, 2006; Carter, 2007; Comas-Diaz, 2007). Narrative therapy and testimonio, as two examples, involve the process of sharing one's personal stories with others to facili tate reprocessing and reframing negative cognitions to positive cognitions (Comas-Diaz, 2016; Parks, 2007). A story is an umbrella term that includes a personal story (i.e., idiosyncratic cognitive representations of events) and a narrative (i.e., communal representations of commonly experienced events; Chioneso et al. 9

Mankowski & Rappaport, 2000). Two distinct narrative subtypes exist. A community narrative is a common story about the group itself in a particular setting, consisting of personal and paralleling stories among group mem bers; whereas a dominant cultural narrative is an overleamed (positive or negative) story communicated by major socializing institutions, often con trolled by powerful people in a society, that impact the identities, beliefs, and values of the populace (Mankowski & Rappaport, 2000). Increasingly, among racial trauma survivors, the legacy of historical trauma in presenting symptomology is being acknowledged (Comas-Diaz, 2016; Duran et al., 2008; Jernigan & Daniel, 2011). Storytelling not only facilitates an understanding of human behavior, it also functions as a tool for resisting oppression (Comas-Diaz, 2016; Denham, 2008), fostering healing (Sunwolf, 2005), and promoting spiritual communion (Banks Wallace, 1998; 2002). In community settings, storytelling has contributed to restoring cultural identities (Lawson-Te Aho, 20 I 4), building a sense of community (Mankowski & Rappaport, 2000), and serving as counterhege monic stories to refute negative stories about oppressed groups (Bell, 2003; Haaken et al., 2012). Therefore, as a response to racial trauma, sto rytelling approaches ( e.g., testimony therapy, sociotherapy, and digital sto rytelling) have been incorporated into treatment plans (Bryant-Davis & Ocampo, 2006; Carter, 2007; Comas-Diaz, 2007) and community healing practices (Grills et al., 2016).

Resistance. A critical understanding of the sociopolitical movements of Africana communities (e.g., antilynching, Pan African, and Black Power) reveals an ongoing struggle for community healing, whereby resistance cou pled with cultural tools and liberatory practices nurture organized collective demands for justice (Myers et al., 2018). Resistance is conceptualized as the dynamic interplay between self-determination and defiance. Self-determina tion is the process of choosing thoughts and behaviors that positively shapes one's destiny; it drives the fulfillment of human needs and is a desired end state (Bulhan, 1985). Historically through social movements, Africana com munities equated self-determination with freedom, and therefore pursued ideas and experiences that defied the status quo. Defiance allowed for inten tional planning to achieve more adaptive conditions that may ensure the real ization of (individual and collective) self-determined goals (Gordon, 2004). The review of the literature on culturally syntonic processes, considered together, has demonstrated that storytelling about and resistance to obstruc tive or destructive systems of oppression is a healthy response that cultivates opportunities for community healing (Burkett, 2017). 10 Journal of Black Psychology00(0)

Three PsychologicalDimensions The overview of the literature thus far highlights key factors necessary to promote community healing within the C-HeARTS framework. Synthesizing research on storytelling, resistance, and justice, we now demonstrate the specific ways that three psychological dimensions- connectedness, collec tive memory, and critical consciousness- may contribute to community healing processes. As summarized in Table 1, we propose that community healing is advanced when collective interventions and liberatory practices are used to promote justice-informed outcomes that can be assessed using objective and subjective indicators of well-being within three spheres of life (i.e., personal, interpersonal, and organizational). To lend credibility to our proposal, we review the literature on each psychological dimension emphasizing the role of storytelling and resistance in community healing. Then, we succinctly review relevant psychological and health related litera ture to provide suggested collective interventions and accompanying jus tice-informed outcomes.

Dimension f: Connectedness. A multidimensional concept consisting of mutual interdependence, a shared identity, and a sense of belonging, connect edness includes relationships between the mental, physical, emotional, and spiritual realms of people and their environments (Hill, 2006; Nobles, 1991; Schiele, 1996). A sense of connectedness may result in fostering a heightened sense of comfort or wellness, and reducing anxiety (Hagerty et al., 1993), while increasing access to social support and the ability to effectively engage in daily functioning among traumatized individuals (Stepakoff et al., 2006). Within a personal sphere of life, connectedness can be fostered through understanding, validating, and nurturing individual experiences. Storytell ing and resistance have been found to provide opportunities for tellers to self-reflect on their experiences, and witnesses to gain insight into their own lives when they understand how others have overcome similar challenges (East et al., 20 I 0). Listening attentively and avoiding judgmental feedback encourages the teller to halt self-rejecting thoughts and negative emotions, which serves to validate shared trauma (Comas-Diaz, 2016; Richters et al., 2008). Such validation nurtures connections with both the self and the col lective because there is a refocusing on the teller's strengths and redeemable qualities (Banks-Wallace, 1998). Given that promoting and maintaining con nectedness is vital for community healing (Schultz et al., 2016), we propose that collective interventions, such as testifying opportunities and facilitating group processes, help participants experience connectedness, thereby, mak ing justice-informed outcomes possible.

Collective intervention examples and justice-informed outcomes. Testifying opportunities, like testimony therapy or "testimonio" invite survivors and community members to resist internalizing blame through first-person testi monio accounts. With the community bearing witness, first-person accounts include pre-trauma experiences that can provide emotional release, validate and document the storyteller's lived experience, and facilitate posttraumatic meaning making (Akinyela, 2005; Aron, 1992; Cienfuegos & Monelli, 1983). Testimonials in the form of collaborative poems that depicted trauma and memory cloths that connected recent history with personal tragedies enabled West African survivors of torture and civil war to step outside their pain and bear witness to an ethnopolitical phenomenon (Stepakoff et al., 2006). These public truth telling experiences contributed to reduced depression and trau matic stress, while it increased access to social bonding and social capital: objective indicators of well-being (Stepakoff et al., 2006). Testifying oppor tunities for war-affected Mayan children in Guatemala were designed as a creative workshop that encouraged participants to engage in cultural activi ties (e.g., making masks, weaving, and storytelling; Farwell & Cole, 2002). Subjective indicators of well-being were noted when the workshops not only helped children and their parents to better understand their collective trauma but also inspired their feelings of safety, acceptance, and respect in ways that allowed them to actively nurture their social bonds. The revolutionary psychiatrist Frantz Fanon recognized the link between oppression and mental health among colonized communities in Africa. He advocated for the use of sociotherapy, a communal healing strategy, to sup port social bonding and rebuilding communities among patients in psychiat ric institutions (Fanon, 2018). Sociotherapy is a facilitated group process that addresses mental health and well-being, and has been found to be particularly effective in the aftermath of war and political violence (Richters et al., 2008). Characterized as the "community acting as a doctor," sociotherapy groups are comprised of phases (e.g., safety, care, and respect) and guiding principles (e.g., democracy, nondirectivity, and a focus on reality) that inform core pro cedural rules (e.g., two-way communication, shared decision making, and collaborative leadership; Richters et al., 2008). In 2005, sociotherapy groups were implemented in Rwanda to address ethnopolitical trauma. Groups included 10 to 12 individuals who lived in the same community and met for 2 to 3 hours weekly at a local venue for approx imately 15 weeks, and each group was facilitated by trained group leaders, who were community residents (Richters et al., 2008). As social bonding and commitments to aid each other's well-being increased among participants, objective indicators of well-being were evident when participants gained greater access to social capital that could be leveraged for self and commu nity needs. In a subsequent study, subjective indicators of well-being were Chioneso et al. 13

demonstrated. Selected from 10 sociotherapy groups, 100 Rwandan partici pants completed presurveys and postsurveys, in addition to an 8-month fol low-up questionnaire, used to screen for common mental health disorders (Scholte et al., 2011). Compared with a demographically similar control group who did not participate in a sociotherapy intervention, experimental group participants reported better mental health; that is, greater perceived sense of control and higher levels of life satisfaction.

Dimension II: Collective memory. Collective memory, a group's shared understanding of the recent or distant past, is at the heart of psychological health (Zaromb et al., 2014). It aids in the healing process by unearthing the lived experiences of those whose histories have been hidden or erased from public record (Ainslie, 2013). Simultaneously, the exploration of a com munity's collective memory may limit the internalization of oppression by outlining how racial trauma is systemically embedded and institutionally per petuated (Burkett, 2017; Grills et al., 2016; Myers et al., 2018). To trust, remember, and decolonize minds help foster collective memory at the interpersonal sphere of life. Storytelling in a safe environment builds trust within group processes as community members resist interpersonal dis trust that is tied to denigrating dominant cultural narratives (Case & Hunter, 2012; Farwell & Cole, 2002). With greater trust, opportunities to resist the perpetuation of historical amnesia can develop, allowing personal stories and community narratives that highlight traumas and triumphs to be actively remembered (Comas-Diaz, 2016; Rappaport, 2000). By helping community members interrogate their potentially inaccurate personal stories and dis torted community narratives, storytelling and resistance may enhance their psychological decolonization process (Ainslie, 2013; Banks-Wallace, 1998; Comas-Diaz, 2016; Lawson-Te Aho, 2014). The goal is to promote move ment from internalized oppression and self-blame to restoring self-worth, reestablishing a sense of competency, and grieving what has been lost due to historical trauma (Bulhan, 1985; David & Okazaki, 2006; Lawson-Te Aho, 2014). Thus, we propose that cocreating and sharing products such as digital stories (Rolon-Dow, 2011 ), memory cloths (Stepakoff et al., 2006), docu mentary films (Haaken et al., 2012), and dramatizations (Farwell & Cole, 2002), and using these products to aid critical community reflection, support the construction of a collective memory that may challe_nge dominant cultural narratives and give voice to pursuing justice-informed outcomes.

Collective intervention examples and justice-informed outcomes. Interven tions that involve cocreating and sharing products, such as digital storytell ing methods, are integral to reaching populations traditionally underserved in health research. With digital storytelling approaches, participants have 14 journal of Black Psychology00(0) control over both the development and dissemination of their stories. They typically attend a group workshop to collaboratively tell a short story by learning how to produce a final (2- to 4-minute) digital product that incor porates multimedia (Briant et al., 2016). Briant et al. (2016), for example, interviewed Latinx cancer patients who created digital stories focused on cancer and found that their digital storytelling experience promoted the exer cise of voice and choice, objective indicators of well-being (Prilleltensky, 2012). This exercise subsequently contributed to growth in their interper sonal relationships with family members who gained a deeper understanding of cancer as an illness. The digital storytellers also experienced subjective indicators of well-being such as, a sense of growth as a person and feeling heard regarding their illness. Tellers' heightened subjective well-being con tributed to their ability to make more appropriate health-related decisions (e.g., eating healthier foods) with the support of their loved ones. Opportunities for critical community reflection are important for naming~ reengaging, and diminishing anger associated with historical trauma, and opening possibilities for developing a collective memory (Ainslie, 2013; Freire, 2000). An example of this can be found in relation to a long-standing historical trauma in a Texas community involving the "Sam Schwarz School," a segregated school for African American residents. The Sam Schwarz School was destroyed without the consent and despite the historical significance the school held for African American residents. Although the local school district had no official account of the school or its closing, decades later, a new build ing renamed the "Sam Schwarz Campus" was resurrected at the same site for students with academic/behavioral problems; and memories of positive com munity contributions were erased and became associated with deficiencies (Ainslie, 2013 ). Three interventions to promote community healing were developed: testimonial opportunities, a documentary film, and a public criti cal community reflection event. During the third intervention, African American alumni shared their educational successes and community narra tives with all community members as witnesses. Several subjective indica tors of well-being for the alumni emerged, such as feeling valued, not taken for granted, and disproving stereotypes. Important changes were also made by White school administrators that illustrated objective indicators of well being, primarily, a fair sharing of obligations and privileges. For example, the academic/behavioral problems program was removed from the Sam Schwarz Campus, and a permanent display of African American alumni photographs and memorabilia were erected at the school district's office (Ainslie, 2013 ). Through critical community reflection, dominant cultural narratives were interrogated, which prompted actions to construct a more authentic collective memory that increased the visibility and significance of African American history in the community's collective memory. Chioneso et al. 15

Dimension Ill: Critical consciousness. Referring to the social, political, and economic forces shaping lived experiences and community well-being, criti cal consciousness is a process predicated on a person's belief in their abil ity to engage in actions that will produce change (i.e., political efficacy; Freire, 2000). Emerging data support key tenets of critical consciousness among Africana communities (Hope & Jagers, 2014). Specifically, among youth of African ancestry, data suggest that civic related actions contribute to both youth development (Sherrod et al., 2010) and the development of their communities (Watts & Flanagan, 2007). Data also suggest that an activism oriented humanities curriculum that supports the development of particular character strengths ( e.g., critical thinking about racial oppression as interper sonal, institutional, and internalized oppression) foster critical consciousness among youth to challenge oppressive systems (Seider et al., 2017). The crux of critical consciousness, thus, demands increasing the abilities of commu nity members to address commonly identified concerns and taking action to challenge oppressive forces. At the organizational sphere of life, vast opportunities for individuals to empower themselves, organize, and advocate for community needs through storytelling and collective acts of resistance are essential to critical con sciousness. Telling counternarratives can empower storytellers because it creates occasions for them to name and debunk the larger dominant racial narrative, which is often hidden or denied. Additionally, storytellers are able to educate witnesses about an important social issue (Bell, 2016; Benmayor, 2008). Sharing stories using multimedia (e.g., flyers, web-videos, and biogs) may inform and galvanize others to organize. In the case of#BlackLivesMatter, people share video stories to stimulate critical awareness about long-standing state violence (e.g., police brutality) directed against people of African descent to encourage local communities to organize and demand changes (e.g., improve police-community relations, policies, and practices; Canella, 2017). Advocating for community needs can occur in multiple ways, whereby storytelling and resistance can reduce disempowering thought patterns, iner tia, and systemic inequities that exclude oppressed communities (Hoffman & Mitchell, 2016; Kimball et al., 2016). Eleven-year-old student activist Naomi Walder (2018), for example, advocated for females of African descent who are omitted in dominant cultural narratives about gun violence in the United States. At March for Our Lives (a student antigun violence demonstration held in Washington, DC, on March 24, 2018), she issued a call to action: "I represent the African American girls [and women who are victims of gun violence but] whose stories don't make the front page of every national news paper" because they "have been just numbers .... [H]elp me write the narra tive for this world to understand so that these girls and women are never forgotten" (Walder, 2018). Because storytelling and acts of resistance reveal (I) Check for updates

C-HeARTS framework, community is advanced as an agent of change while centering justice and the important role of cultural practices to facilitate community healing.

Keywords African Americans, community healing, justice, racial trauma, storytelling

Systems of oppression, rooted in historical trauma- massive violence with the intent to impair and/or kill a group of people that cumulatively manifests as chronic psychological wounding across surviving generations-undermine the well-being of Africana communities (Burkett, 2017; Karlsen et al., 2005; Pieterse et al., 2012; Reitz & Banerjee, 2007). An ongoing consequence of historical trauma is racial trauma, which has deleterious effects on its victims. Racial trauma is defined as real and perceived danger, threats, witnessing harm, or humiliating and shaming events to ethnoracial individuals similar to the self that may be sudden, beyond their control, and emotionally overwhelm ing (Comas-Diaz et al., 2019). Racial trauma may emerge in response to rac ism (e.g., racial discrimination and microaggressions) that evoke stress and trauma reactions (Anderson & Stevenson, 2019; Carter, 2007; Nadal, 2018; Pieterse et al., 2010); and may be recurring, systemic, and intergenerational (Comas-Diaz et al., 2019). Thus, racial trauma encompasses cumulative expe riences of racism and has detrimental effects on psychological well-being (Helms et al., 20 l O; Williams et al., 2018). Among people of African ancestry living in the United States, racial trauma has contributed to poor physical health (Kaholokula, 2016; Kendall-Tackett, 2009) and psychological distress (Polanco-Roman et al., 2016). Additionally, the psychosocial impacts of racial trauma may include the devaluation of the self (Graham et al., 2016; Williams et al., 2018), erosion of family ties (Anderson & Stevenson, 2019), and weak ened community relationships (Riina et al., 2013). Increasing numbers of clinical models identify the impact of racial trauma on individual well-being and suggest personal healing strategies (e.g., Bryant Davis & Ocampo, 2006; Carter, 2007; Comas-Diaz, 2016). Both family and community-oriented scholarship that focus on racial trauma recognize not only the importance of personal healing strategies but also advocate for collective healing processes (Anderson et al., 2018; Chavez-Duenas et al., 2019; French et al., 2019). Taking community-oriented scholarship a step further, we recom mend partnering with communities in ways that focus on community strengths and address community challenges to restore a healthy balance within persons and among individuals (Grills et al., 2018; Myers et al., 2018; Some, 1993). Chioneso et al. 3

Community Healing Community and healing are often separate concepts in scholarly discourse, whereas community healing is rarely discussed in psychological literature. Although community has multiple meanings, community as locality ( e.g., neighborhood) and community as a relational group without place restric tions (e.g., membership in a labor union) are two salient distinctions made in the social sciences (Bradford, 2017; Kloos et al., 2012). Irrespective of disci plinary lens, most concepts of community reflect a sense of connectedness through geography, shared history, culture, a sense of belonging, influence, the fulfillment of needs, and effective mediums of communication (Farwell & Cole, 2002; McMillan & Chavis, 1986). What is also emphasized here is that community is a collective change agent, a .. unit of solution in society" through which people can proactively address trauma-related problems within their locality and relational groups (Checkoway, 1995, p. 3). Like the term community, healing is a positively described term that lacks an easily recognizable definition. Some healing definitions emphasize spiritu ality. In Latino ethnic psychology, healing and sabidur{a are interlinked. Sabiduria is to perceive illness as a spiritual development opportunity that requires personal evolvement and connectedness with others (Comas-Diaz, 2006). While healing is more readily understood as physiological and behav ioral improvements, healing is often perceived as an individual journey toward wellness that involves the personal transcendence of suffering (Egnew, 2005). However, other definitions of healing rooted in trauma scholarship indicate that creating a collective memory is a key aspect of healing trauma that 4 Journal of Black Psychology00(0) involves transitioning an individual's private pain to the public domain (Puvimanasinghe & Price, 2016; Stepakoff et al., 2006). When personal heal ing is embedded within a communal framework, we argue that a greater trans formational process will be facilitated by a shared collective memory, which can help shift bodies, minds, and spirits from a status of suffering to repair and create opportunities to evolve (Myers, 2013; Some, 1993). Given the importance ascribed to the terms community and healing, the existence of community healing scholarship is a reasonable expectation. To date, a body of literature that promotes communal practices, and increasing critical consciousness has been unfolding for over 20 years within Indigenous (Brave Heart & DeBruyn, 1998; Duran et al., 2008; Kowanko et al., 2009; Warry, 1998) and African-centered scholarship (Akbar et al., 1980; Grills & Rowe, 1998; Kambon, 1992; Myers, 1993). Identifying links between preva lent psychosocial diseases (e.g., suicidality) among North American Indigenous peoples and macrostructures (e.g., colonialism) resulted in the coining of the term "historical trauma" and the development of the Historical Trauma and Unresolved Grief (HTUG) Intervention for American Indians (Brave Heart, 2003; Brave Heart & DeBruyn, 1998). Using the HTUG model, Brave Heart and DeBruyn (1998) described American Indian participants' community healing as occurring through facil itated communal grief rituals that incorporate traditional practices ( e.g., sto rytelling) and involve extended kin networks. Engaging in these processes had a positive impact on participants' identity formation, a sense of belong ing, recognition of a shared history, and future survival of the group (Brave Heart & DeBruyn, 1998). A major outcome of their community healing engagement processes was the Takini Network, a Lakota Nation holocaust survivors' association that provides historical trauma training to human ser vice providers (Brave Heart & DeBruyn, 1998). Other structural-focused community healing approaches used by North American Indigenous com munities have included the following: (a) designing culturally appropriate health care initiatives such as the People Awakening Team, an Alaska Native people's project that records life stories in narrative format to identify protec tive variables that prevent alcohol abuse (Duran et al., 2008); and (b) restor ing cultural values, language, and traditions by establishing a Sagamok First Nation controlled school (Warry, 1998). From an African-centered perspective, healing is a community endeavor that involves maintaining a harmonious balance between the spiritual realm and physical world (Jackson-Lowman, 2004; Mariette, 2013; Some, 1993). This holistic perspective regards animate life forms and inanimate objects as divine sources of energy within an African metaphysical hierarchy: God, gods, spirits, ancestors, and then humans (Omonzejele, 2008). God is considered the Chioneso et al. 5 supreme source of healing from which all sources of healing are derived. Special deities (e.g., Osanyin and Agwu, Yoruba and Igbo deities, respectively) and spirits are guardians who guide the curative use of nature's vast healing energies (Opoku, 1978; Washington, 2010). (Re)establishing spiritual harmony with one's ancestors is a healing prerequisite that allows for access to special cures (Omonzejele, 2008). To meet human needs, the interdependency of a community creates opportunities to achieve what is difficult to achieve alone when the following commitments are upheld: unity, trust, openness, love and caring, uplifting elders who are the collective memory of the community, respect for nature's medicinal wisdom, and honoring the ancestors (Some, 1993). Cultural healing practices may include specific rituals, drumming, danc ing, singing, and storytelling (Monteiro & Wall, 2011; Some, 1993; Stepakoff et al., 2006). While African concepts of wellness generally characterize a per son's health status as a communal affair, it also characterizes human knowledge as limited: incapable of explaining all that exists on Earth and beyond (Fu-Kiau, 199 I). Therefore, healing is predicated on the maintenance of positive relations between humans and the spiritual realm, nature, and among fellow human beings (Jackson-Lowman, 2004; Omonzejele, 2008; Opoku, 1978). Mental and physical pain represents a soul seeking realignment with the spiritual world, restoration of inner power, and the opportunity to grow (Fu-Kiau, 1991; Some, 1993). Operating from an African-centered world view, the Community Healing Network and the Association of Black Psychologists sought to heal soul wounds within Africana communities. They jointly developed Emotional Emancipation Circles (EECs) to expose historical trauma and overturn "the pernicious lies of Black inferiority [ nar ratives that] fall under the broader rubric of racism" (Grills et al., 2016, p. 337). EECs are designed to be safe cultural spaces for people of African ancestry to share their stories and engage in critical community reflection through a facilitated group process. While engendering self-determination and cultural integrity, the sign of an effective EEC is the development of civi cally engaged participants organizing community actions that reduce sys temic violence in Africana communities (Grills et al., 2016). Racial trauma occurs within an oppressive sociopolitical context (Comas Diaz et al., 2019). Treatment models that promote a client's resistance strate gies ( e.g., filing charges against racist perpetrators and lobbying for antiracist policies; Bryant-Davis & Ocampo, 2006); social action (e.g., framing racism as a form of ethnoviolence while advocating for racial equality; Comas-Diaz, 2016); and connections among individuals, families, and communities to their collective cultural strengths (Chavez-Duenas et al., 2019) highlight the impor tance of critical consciousness in the healing process. The need for clinical solutions is important but limited without community healing interventions 6 Journal of Black Psychology00(0)
