| November 21, 2012 | Parent skills training/education programs: How schools can help other agencies to prevent substance abuse and promote healthy development
This session will examine how schools can work with other agencies and parent organizations to help them deliver informal, formal and on-line/media-based parenting/family skills training and education. The focus will be on preventing substance abuse but most effective programs also address other health/social problems as well as seek to develop family/parenting strengths. Ms Heikklia will describe their excellent collection of programs gathered by the UNODC and the lessons learned in preparing an implementation guide on such programs. Dr. Kumpfer will describe the SF program and how it addresses the needs and strengths of parents/families. Lesley Whyte will begin the discussion about these programs by describing some of the issues they are addressing in developing an effective parenting program. This session will benefit from an extensive collection of examples, research articles and recorded webinars that have been collected in a Wikipedia style summary of the evidence and experiences with these programs. Participants will also be reminded about the previously recorded Canadian webinar describing the implementation of the Strengthening Families and Families & Schools Together in Canada. Please go to these rough, brief drafts of Wikipedia-style summaries (Glossary Terms) that form the topic for this webinar. We welcome your comments and edits of the drafts: |

| November 20, 2012 | Draft Core Indicators of Quality for School Health Programs in Low Income Countries
Join the discussion on the recently developed 8 Core Indicators to Monitor Progress Towards School Health. International agencies have developed the indicators to monitor national and school level progress in accordance with the four pillars of the Focussing Resources on Effective School Health (FRESH) framework. These are: equitable school health policies, safe learning environments, skills-based health education, and school-based health and nutrition services. The FRESH framework is an inter-sectoral partnership designed to focus resources on effective school health. This webinar is an opportunity to provide an overview and commentary about the indicators and participants will discuss its contents and potential uses. A draft document has been prepared for discussion and revision and is available on the UNESCO FRESH website. A series of MRE glossary terms related to this topic being developed by an international discussion group on MRE activities may be useful to help clarify terms used in the discussion. |

| November 19, 2012 | Community Schools: Building & Maintaining Support/Political Will at Different Levels and in Different Contexts
Those wishing to develop Community Schools in their countries will need to win support. This needs multi-dimensional strategy and this webinar will explore strategies for attracting professional, community and political support for Community Schools at all levels – inside the school from staff, pupils and their parents and outside the schools from professionals, the wider community and decision makers. The decision to adopt a Community School approach (or any other multi-intervention strategy) requires more than evidence-based arguments. Those promoting community Schools will need to take advantage of relevant incidents, demonstrate their relevance to emerging needs or directives for change, identify practical examples which capture the interest of decision-makers, show practitioners how they can be introduced in a manageable way suggesting risk-averse trial period. Nurturing informal support networks and building on successful pilots is essential. Because Community Schools engage in active partnerships so at strategic level those supporting their development should be informing and seeking support from a variety of sources such as businesses, departments of government as well as keeping practitioners and communities on boards. Supporting head teachers recruit suitable staff, training current practitioners, win parental trust and draw in volunteers are key elements which will help ensure the growth of sustainable models which will flourish with or without formal political support. In this webinar, the presenters will each identify two-three points that were most important to their work and situation. Subsequent webinars will likely address aspects of this initial discussion in more depth. Questions from the audience will be taken to ensure a vibrant discussion. This series of webinars and web meeting discussions on community schools is led by the International Centre of Excellence for Community Schools and several CS organizations and experts around the world in cooperation with the International School Health Network |

| Wednesday, Oct 24, 2012 | School and Community Prevention Specialists: Roles, Knowledge, Skills and Training
Positive youth development, based on the development of youth assets has emerged as a pillar for substance abuse prevention. Trained youth facilitators, funded by agencies external to the school, are often assigned to organizing school activities, clubs, after-school programs and other activities that engage or empower youth/students in or through schools. Most often, these facilitators are assigned to respond to specific health, social or educational issues of concern to the funders such as substance abuse, sports, the arts, at-risk youth, LGBT youth, girls, entrepreneurship, remedial work, technology and more. The Council on Drug Abuse has expanded the number and scope of its online training program for youth addictions prevention counselors (Certified Educators). The Canadian Addiction Counsellors Certification Federation (CACCF) has awarded the CODA Certified Education (CCE) program with the approval of providing training towards the ICPS (International Certified Prevention Specialist) certification designation and the ICADC (International Certified Alcohol and Drug Counsellor) certification designation. This session will describe the role that police officers, social workers, addictions workers and others can play in schools and communities as well as the skills and knowledge required. The discussion of this role will be preceded by an overview of asset or positive youth development principles and practices., The session will be supported by participants commenting on a draft Wikipedia style summary.Please go to these rough, brief drafts of two Wikipedia-style summaries (Glossary Terms) that form the topic for this webinar.
