>> Hello, I am the advisory Council chairperson and I welcome everyone here tonight.  I thank you for listening tonight and I hope you will be able to really enjoy what we have to offer you tonight.  Hopefully we can give you some valuable information on coping with COVID.  With mental health and social isolation in the time of COVID-19.  This presentation is given by the Council for the disability rights for that.  I am Annette Smith and I am the Chair and tonight we have Diane who is a PAC member.  

>>Hello.  The graph we have Shira Collins, another member who will be presented as well and last but not least we have Catherine Silva who is a disability rights attorney on the investigation team.  I'm going to go through a little bit of housekeeping.  The presenters, as you know, keep your mics muted please and in tool it is your time to speak.  I will be going through a few slides and some background information on the Advisory Council and disability rights.  Please do not feel like you have to take any notes because we will have this information and slides will be available and you can access that on our website.  And we will also do a Q&A at the end of the session so if you have a question while any of the presenters are speaking, you can go ahead and type it into the chat and we will go through that Q&A and answer those questions as best as we can tonight.  Right now I will go ahead and get started.  Again I'm just gonna give some background information on disability rights and the advisory Council.  Don you can go ahead and put that site up for me.  Just one minute, looks like were having some difficulties can you get in there? What I'm going to do is go ahead and go through the slides.  I do have them here.  As I said this is for coping with COVID and we are Disability Rights Florida and I'm also with the PAIMI Advisory Council.  The disability rights Florida advocates, educates, investigates and litigates to protect and advance the rights, dignity, equal opportunity, self-determination and choices for all people with disability rights.  In 1975 Congress created a system which is known as protection, advocacy agencies to protect the rights of people with disabilities.  Congress mandated that here in the United States and territory have an official protection and advocacy agency.  So disability rights Florida is the system for our state.  So why do we need a P&A.  We needed P&A because people with disabilities who are segregated from society, locked in institutions, found isolated at home with no services provided no education and some were even found to be being abused, neglected and forgotten.  So the P&A was put into the system to prevent and help people cope with those types of situations.  What we do is serve individuals with mental illness.  We also serve people with individual traumatic brain injury or other neurological impairments.  Individuals with developmental intellectual disabilities and also individuals with physical disabilities.   
 
So some people would ask what do we do? We can go anywhere that people with disabilities are provided with direct services.  That means we can go into facilities and be able to advocate for people in certain types of facilities around the state.  We have the authority to provide legal representation and advocacy services to people with disabilities.  And we also help ensure that people with disabilities are treated equally, with dignity, and with respect.  Most of all we provide is free, yes free, and confidential services.  So you can call on disability rights and we will be able to help and facilitate or advocate and the services are absolutely free as long as you fit with whatever the we need to do for your situation.  Those services provided are free and confidential.  We are mandated to protect and advocate for the rights of people with mental illness by investigating reports of abuse and neglect at facilities and in the community.  And as I told you earlier Kathryn Strobach will come to you later and explain how the investigation team operates and what they do on their and when someone is called in or someone complains about something and a facility.  We also receive funding under the federal grant would to do this work and that is the protection and advocacy for individuals with mental illness. PAIMI Advisory Council members which are myself, another speaking here to now act as the link between the P&A and the mental health community.  And what that means is we assist in identifying the issues that are most important to the mental health community.  We also provide feedback to the P&A staff and the Board of Directors to develop the annual objectives and priorities for the program. 
 
We are like the eyes and ears for disability rights because we see things that are going on in individual communities and we are able to provide feedback to the board when they come to do their objectives and priorities which is then annually and then we will be able to figure out how we can meet those needs. 
 
We also educate the public about our mission and the purpose.  That is what we're doing here tonight on this platform is educating people about what we do and let them know that we are out here to help them with any issue that they may have in their community with mental illness.  Tonight we are going to have one of our members advisory members, who is going to come to you and she's going to present what she knows that people need right now at this time in coping with COVID.  And of course, we are all going through something right now.  And we know how the stress and everything can get to the average person.  You don't have to have a mental illness to be going through what we're going through right now.  If you would go ahead and give a brief introduction about yourself and give us what you have. 
 
SPEAKER: 
Thank you Annette and I appreciate that.  Thank you so much I thank you for joining us tonight.  We’re talking about coping with COVID and mental health and social isolation and time of COVID.  This is important to try to work on your mental health when you're going through so much right now.  I am a licensed social worker.  I'm the owner of Miami low private practice and we want to talk to you to you about today about what is quarantine. 
 
Courtney teen helps prevent their present spread of disease if a person knows their sick or infected with the virus without feeling symptoms.  That is what quarantine is. Loneliness is a person's needs may not be met and they can be completely isolated by others and feel completely lonely. Isolation is being physically separated from others in a person can be physically isolated but not lonely. There is a difference. 
 
Effects of quarantine. Quarantine can have several different effects. It could be positive or negative. Today we are going to come up with a couple effects that happen when you're quarantine. You may have anxiety, low mood, depression, symptoms related to posttraumatic stress disorder, isolation can be found to be infected by the disease, distress associated with family members having the virus are having the virus, grief for loved ones who have the virus, loss of income housing or food and it really causes strains on parents. Sometimes parents have issues with childcare and taking care of their kids. 
 
In quarantine schools not open and that is another stress we have to deal with. 
 
Challenges that might affect patients with existing mental health issues. Longer durations of quarantine have been associated with posttraumatic stress disorder, avoidance behavior and anger. These are things that come out when quarantine is because they feel so not able to do what they usually would do. This kind of messes up their norm. You always have a normal pattern that you usually have and then when the quarantine happens it shifts things to a different level. Usually people are frustrated, they do not go out in public, they have an adequate supply of healthcare and they have a stigma related to it. Rejection for others or like I said isolation from the world and then of course they do not want to in fact – the fear of infecting everybody else around you. That fear plays a big, big factor. 
 
Another issue and is a major issue right now is financial loss. A lot of people are losing money whether it be in the stock market or whether they can't work, they are unemployed because of COVID. This is been a serious distress for certain people that causes negative psychological symptoms such as sometimes sadness, anger or anxiety. It could be a number of things. Having to depend on family members for financial support, it's kind of like a burden. This has been definitely conflicting factors that deals with PTSD or depression. You want to talk about maybe getting help for it. 
 
How can I help you? This is one that family members, friends, caregivers and loved ones always say how can I help you. This is one way you can help your loved ones when you feel them going through quarantine and maybe isolating themselves and being lonely. One thing you want to do is check on them regularly. I would say try to use some kind of connections whether it be telephone, text message, social media. Check on them regularly. They want to know someone cares about them. That is one thing I would do. Another one is empathize on stress reaction. You want to see how are they reaction to the stress? Are they reacting negative? Positive? What kind of coping skills are they really using? 
 
The next one is help identify coping with distress. You want to make sure you are identifying what skills you're using to cope with the distress. 
 
Coping skills. This is my favorite, favorite, favorite one of all. What do you do? Everyone says what do you do? What I suggest all my clients do is your coping skills. Practice deep breathing, calming exercises, maybe some meditation. Get some exercising going, do yoga, music, I usually try to tell all my clients to get a favorite playlist and put all the songs you really love, that make you feel good and happy and just dance to it and have a jam session. 
 
You could always write in a journal like make a diary. You want to think about maybe even coloring. People say it is for little kids, no. It is actually helpful. When you use the bright colors. And you see that. Another thing I was thinking about his puzzles. They are great to keep your mind going. It's really helping. Make sure you are engaging your friends and family and rewarding activity, something to make them happy. 
 
Volunteering but volunteering using safety measures. Make sure you bring your mask, hand sanitizer for your hands, your washing your hands and you want to protect yourself at the same time. Tips to reduce negative consequences associated with social isolation during COVID-19. You want to maintain some kind of routine. If you are use to getting up and eating breakfast may be getting on your computer and doing something else and just doing a whole plethora of things, I don't want that to change. You want to keep some kind of routine. Maybe making sure you are eating breakfast, move away from the computer at lunch. Getting some exercise in and breathing fresh air. Want to maintain some kind of routine. 
 
You want to be positive. I usually write myself little positive sticky notes like on little sticky pads like this. I write little positive affirmations and sticky notes like that. You want to be able to breathe. Take your time, have your breath and breathe and meditate. You want to figure out what really matters in life. 
 
I always tell myself one minute of gratitude. It does not have to be a long meditation just one minute of gratitude. You want to limit your screen time when it comes to news because it could have negative consequences to you. Want to make sure you are limiting your screen time when it comes to news. Also, you want to stay connected with your family whether be social media, FaceTime or telephone, figure out a way to stay connected with your family.  
 
This is important. Out of everything I told you if you feel like you cannot do it make sure you seek professional help. Please, please do not be afraid to ask for help. You want to make sure you are utilizing your coping skills too. 
 
Things to look out for. If you are a loved one or a caregiver caring for somebody else, these are things you want to make sure you look out for. You want to make sure you are looking out for them taking alcohol just to relax. Or any kind of drug for that matter. You want to protect them from excessive exposure from the news. It kind of messes up with their sleeping habits especially if they watch the news at 10 o'clock at night. You want to pay attention to that. You want to think about the extreme ways of thinking. Everything is bad, the world is bad. No, we don't want to think like that. We want to see the silver lining in things. When I think about the changes in their mood so whether it's going up and down. You want to see changes in appetite whether there not eating enough or too much. If they are used to getting eight hours of sleep and now they are only sleeping two hours, you and figure out what is messing with their sleeping habits and maybe go to the doctor and try to figure it out. 
 
What are some things to avoid during quarantine? We told you things we want you to do now these are things – we do not want to have a negative impact on you. Limit watching TV. Limit your reading. It's good to read but you want to limit. Listening to certain things that might cause you to trigger or remind you of something in your past. We want you to stay connected with social media but not use it all day. We do not want to use it eight hours a day because sometimes it becomes hard on you and heavy on you. We do not way to do that. We want you to introduce activities to include self-care. We want you to take care of yourself. So whether you are like I'm going to take an hour to paint my nails were take a bubble bath or just to do my hair or, you know, take care of yourself. Put that in your self-care routine, something to help you and balance your schedule you have. 
 
Resources. Resources. Resources. This is the part where if you have a chance and these are resources you can use that are out there. The CDC is great to keep you up on what is going on with the quarantine, COVID news. If you have issues with your mental health and you want to talk to somebody, this is definitely the one 800 number to use. 
 
The national suicide hotline is a really good tool too.  They are open 24 hours. At three in the morning you can definitely make a phone call. Crisis hotline you can text hello and they will reach back at you. If you want to know about COVID-19 FIU has a lot of resources you can go in and look if you just say I want to know more, I want to know more about the virus. 
 
Again these are some mental health apps. If you have a smart phone pick up your phone and you can download these apps. Most of them are for free. If not, you can see which one works for you and which ones doesn't. They have Calm or Headspace which is good for agitation and mindfulness. They have Moodpath which structure mode. This says if you are doing really good or really bad. They will say why is that and you can say why it is and write in your journal and let out. The main thing we do not want to happen is keep it bottled up. Our goal is to not keep it bottled up. Whether it's music or journaling or just getting out and talking to somebody. Sometimes you just want to vent and talk to somebody. So figure out how my going to let those emotions out. 
 
Again you could use this other mental health website cognitive is your minds with behavior exercises see how you're feeling. Are you in a happy mood? A sad mood? What can perc your mood up a little bit today? Out of all these this is my favorite one. It is the Gratitude Happiness Journal. It's a journal that you write and it has affirmations. I am great today. I know I am enough. I know I can do this. We will get through it. This is the perfect thing if you just want to say I'm grateful for being here, I want to get help, this is what I choose is my outlet and this is the perfect outlet to do it. 
 
SPEAKER: 
Thank you, that was awesome. Thank you for the information. One of my favorite is meditation. I make sure I do that every morning and I have a sleep meditation at night. It does work. Those resources are awesome. I just want to stop briefly to thank our ASL interpreter tonight to be on and help us with this webinar. We really appreciate you guys. 
 
If you happen to be just jumping on the webinar you may have missed that I did say you can put a question in the chat and at the end of this webinar we will answer those questions if we have any and we will try to get the information that you need. Moving on we are going to bring on Shira Collins. She is going to give us some very good information on virtual. Support during this time. Shira, if you could briefly introduce yourself and then go along with your presentation for us. Take you. 
 
SPEAKER: 
Hi I am Shira Collins. I'm also a member of the PAC. I am someone with lived experience of mental illness and psychiatric disability. I have also worked in peer support. I have experienced a lot of the effects of COVID that they just went over. Peer support is something that has help me get through this time. It definitely has been isolating and for me peer support is a good way to stay connected to people who are experiencing similar things really get it and get what it's like to both be dealing with psychiatric disability and be dealing with the effects of COVID at the same time. 
 
And it is really great that a lot of peer support services have transitions to virtual during this time to kind of still be available. I just wanted to briefly go over some of the services that are available. There is a peer respite in Gainesville, Florida. Typically, in person. Respites are short-term voluntary crisis houses where people can seek services from staff members with lived experience. It is an alternative to psychiatric hospitalization. Or other more medical interventions. Right now, obviously, it's difficult to offer in person services so they have transition to providing respite and care online. 
 
There are a number of online groups and they are also offering phone support so you can find out what those groups are on their website right there. There's also appear around organization in Orlando called peer support space in Orlando.  Right now, there doing online check-in's, game and activity nights and virtual support groups for different topics and issues including parenting, self-care, autism, and LGBTQ2+ identities. 
 
There is also a lot of local affiliates.  National alliance for mental illness with polar support alliance.  They have really great peers support groups in person.  Right now, a lot of them are online.  So you can check wherever your local one is.  That will most likely being meeting via zoom or phone. 
 
There's an organization called the Western Massachusetts learning recovery community.  It's a Pier 1 organization and an advocacy organization that does work nationwide to provide training and support groups and different alternative models of care.  They have a comprehensive list of national virtual peer support groups.  That was on the previous slide. 
 
That same organization has a peer support discord server.  If you are not so familiar with discord, it's a group of chat rooms basically that is organized by different topics.  So you can communicate either synchronously or asynchronously.  And that is available to people all over the country that is willing to join.  That is something that is personally been really helpful to me because they've had so many chats and discussions going on.  So pretty much anytime I've gone in at 3 AM sometimes and sleep is hard during a pandemic.  Numb asking if anybody else is available or having trouble sleeping and I've gotten responses we've had a peer support chat party.  I highly recommend that one. 
 
Purely human is another organization that offers virtual peer support groups for suicide, coping with stress, and healing from trauma.  Another organization is offering peer support group since before COVID.  So that is really good for if you're looking for somewhere that has peer support consistently even not during COVID. 
 
Finally, there's a virtual support account on Instagram that is COVID-19 eating support.  They offer free meal support for people with eating disorders or disordered eating.  Basically, a dietitian or therapist with their own lived experience will kind of guide people through meals.  And create a communal experience around eating so people are not so isolated.  And in trying to meet their dietary needs. 
 
Thank you so much and now I will turn it over to her. 
 
SPEAKER: 
Thank you for all of that information.  It is a variety of peer support.  I guess like they say get in where you fit in we could deftly get in where we fit in with all those different areas that you gave.  So seems like there are different ones for different types of behaviors.  So thank you for all of that information and we will move on to Catherine.  And she will be giving us information that we need to talk about our investigation and legal teams. 
 
SPEAKER: 
Thank you so much Annette and all of you.  We are so lucky to have all of you and the rest of our advisory council's supporting us and in supporting us and making sure were doing the best we can for the mental health community.  Again, my name is Kathryn Strobach I'm an attorney here at Disability Rights Florida with the investigations team and we work primarily with individuals with mental illness who reside in facilities or who are recently discharged from facilities and require our assistance. 
 
The types of information that we provide come in the form of information or referrals.  This is maybe you're just looking for resources.  Kind of like the ones that She-ra and damages provided.  Or maybe resources that are particular to your community.  You can contact us and we will do our best to assist you and get you to the best sources of information or support that you could possibly need.  Other ways that we provide assistance to individuals with mental illness, in the form of self-advocacy support and technical assistance.  And these are things that we do to provide you with information and equip you with all of the resources that you need to advocate for yourself. 
 
If you are somebody who is experiencing abuse or neglect or your rights are being violated, we are also here for you and we do all the ground investigations to determine if these things are in fact happening and advocate for you to help keep you safe and maximize your treatment and your potential. 
 
Other things that we do is negotiation and mediation support and even legal advice and representation if you have a situation or a case that requires it.  The places that we cover.  We cover a wide variety of facilities as well as the community when we are serving individuals with mental illness.  The types of inpatient treatment facilities that we cover include places like crisis stabilization units or Baker Act facilities.  All of the state hospitals whether public or private.  And then a variety of congregate care facilities that are more community-based.  But still they are the types of places where you definitely have rights.  And these include places like nursing homes, assisted living facilities.  Jails and prisons.  Homeless shelters, also for individuals living in the community.  If you have recently been discharged from any of the above facilities, we are here to support you and we have access to all of these places in order to make sure that we can talk to you and help you in whatever it is your request for service might be from us. 
 
So how do we do these things? One of the ways that we help protect individuals in our community with mental illness include doing investigations of abuse and neglect, in the facilities. 
 
These are the types of investigations that we do when individual contacts us or family member contacts us with a concern about the way that they are being treated in a facility. 
 
Violations are little bit different and it can be something like maybe you don't have an individualized treatment plan or you don't feel you are being involved enough in the development of your treatment plan.  Maybe you have questions about whether or not you have to take medications, those sorts of things.  So if individuals call us and they want us to investigate abuse, neglect, or rights violations, we are here to do that. 
 
The way we do that is by talking to you, facility staff, we can review your records.  Only if you give us permission to do so.  And we can talk to anybody else that we need to in order to assist you and help keep you safe and make sure your rights or protected. 
 
Another way that we protect your rights and assist people is by moderating these facilities.  When we monitor facilities, we mean that we have not necessarily received some individual complaint or concern.  But we are going to go into facility and were going to look around and looking to make sure that it is a safe environment and get to know the staff here so if we ever do get a call in the future, we have contacts, and we are familiar with the place. 
 
Finally, one of the ways that we help individuals is with legal representation will stop when we have cases there might be arbitration or mediation or some sort of other legal method.  Where we enforce your rights and protections.  And it is granted under the laws of our nation as well as our state.  So how do you request our services?  We are a no wrong to agency.  That means anyway you try to reach out to us, somebody is going to try to assist you and make sure you talk to the right person at Disability Rights Florida to assist you.  But the phone number for you to call is 1-800-342-0823.  The thing that I would like to tell everybody listening tonight is if you are an individual or you have a family that is with the inpatient facility and is not able to access the computer or another way to get in touch with us, we have a special intake line devoted to you. 
 
That is the top number on the screen and that is extension three and is available doing all of our open office hours.  If you are in the community, it is the same phone number but we also have another extension where we can take your call or you can contact us online if you have access to the computer and put in a request for service that way. 
 
So, when you call we tried to make our intake procedure as simple as possible.  So you do not need a lot of information, the most important information we're going to need to know is who you are, and how we can get in touch with you and exactly what can help you need.  So when you call, and this is especially true if you're calling from a facility or behalf of somebody in a facility.  If you have identified information for that person and can provide us exact information as to where they are, in terms of either a patient identifier number, unit, or room number, or phone number for a trusted contact in the facility.  That would be extremely helpful to us in terms of being able to get to you or get to your loved one quickly and easily.  We do ask you questions but because our federal grant funders do require us to ask you questions about the nature of your mental illness. 
 
We will ask you basic demographic information as well to help us identify you and help make sure that you are the person we are looking for when we go to investigate. 
 
And the last things that you need are either tell us what it is you need help with, or what information you are looking for.  And if you have a legal issue and you have documents that you want us to look for, if you could have this available, or tell us who has them available for us to review, that would also be very helpful.  I hope what you gather from this is that it is actually very quick and easy intake process in terms of when you call.  This is all of the information that you will need for us to help you. 
 
If you would like to get involved with the work that we're doing here at disability rights Florida, or with our home advisory council.  We actually have a lot of different opportunities for you.  You can apply to be on her advisory Council and join Annette, Shira, and Dhaima in helping us.  There are links on the website where you can do that.  Also you can apply to be on our Board of Directors.  Another option is to help hosting events.  We are available to do presentations like this on a variety of topics.  Very popular right now are the access the vote presentations where we talk to you all about how to make sure you are able to fully exercise your right to vote.  We have presentations designed just on general information about our agency and what we do.  And we are also happy to work with you to develop or tailor something specific to you area agency or your needs. 
 
If you would like to join a coalition, we have a very active coalition on supporting decision-making.  We would welcome your input in that particular project as well if that is of interest to you. 
 
We always love to hear from you on social media.  We try to provide lots of good resources and tips, and information through all of her social media.

And it has a lot of great resources.  As well as links to all of the above resources. 
 
Finally, we would really love to hear from you.  One of the things that is so important to us is making sure that we are serving the community as best as we can and that means we need your input to do that.  If you or a loved one is residing in a facility during, especially in this time of COVID, and you have concerns about their care or treatment.  We have a specific survey designed to collect information on that.  We also have an annual survey.  Our annual input survey is statewide and we take information from anybody that wants to give it to us in terms of how they feel This is our contact information.

We think that we presented to you tonight has been evidence based and you can review these resources at leisure and ask us questions about these as well. 
 
So thank you again very much to our advisory Council for doing this presentation with us and thank you also to everybody who is joined us this evening. I think we are now ready to take questions if we have anything anybody wants to ask the presenters. 
 
SPEAKER: 
We do have two questions actually. One from Brenda support independent living. She wants to how to ensure things will return to normal and there is light at the end of the tunnel. 
 
SPEAKER: 
You want to take that Kathryn? Actually, I would like for Dhaima -- I mean what you think as far as dealing with this in the mindset of people right now. What would you say to Brenda, you said -- to help her you know, just get through. 
 
SPEAKER: 
Thank you, Brenda. Great question. I don't know the answer to that question. What we can do is heal each other from the inside. I can't worry about what's going on on the outside I can only focus on the inside. What you can do is work on how to help yourself from the inside which is like we told you before. The coping skills. The coping skills will definitely help you out. When you do feel your mood like I don't know or you are feeling anxious about the future because sometimes we get anxious because we don't know if it will ever go back the same way or what to predict. We have to roll with the punches. We have to figure it out but mentally you want to make sure you are taking care of yourself, your well-being and your family. Would make sure everybody is OK. 
 
For the real answer, I don't have an answer because I don't know when it's going to get better but you know we can work on you. You working on you is probably the best thing you can do. 
 
SPEAKER: 
OK. Brenda has another question. She is stating what is done if people call all the time and are not truthful? 
 
SPEAKER: 
I guess I'm going to sue maybe your calling our agency for assistance and maybe not providing accurate information? Well, I can say that what we do here is an agency when we receive information as we definitely always check out. We do investigate and so we're not an official government agency so there is no consequences if somebody calls us and gives an accurate information. Like we are not the police. We are not going to get you in trouble if something turns out to not be true or not be verified. 
 
I think that we just try to be very careful to make sure we are working with accurate information before we take any sort of formal action. But I am not sure completely if that answers the question. I don't know if maybe Brenda can give us more information by email and we can try to assist her, but again we are a nonprofit organization. We are not a government agency so we receive the information we treated confidentially no matter who is calling and, you know, try to handle it appropriately as best we can and definitely verify everything we received before we take any sort of official or, I guess, legal action. I hope that helps. I don't know if anybody else has anything to add.  
 
SPEAKER: 
To Brenda's other question about a light at the end of the tunnel. I guess Shira you probably can chime in on this because I would think that some of the peer support groups that you listed would probably be something good that Brenda could look into just to speak with other peers that feel the same way. 
 
SPEAKER: 
Yeah, I absolutely think so. I think none of us are really sure what's going to happen or how long this is going to last but just you know there are others who are feeling that uncertainty in feeling that anxiety about how can we go on, that's something that really for me just helps me feel less alone. I think peer support could be really helpful for that. 
 
SPEAKER:
