Virtual Workshop for Families with Children and Youth Facing Mental Health Challenges
School issues, for example, often affect a child’s mental health and a child’s emotional issues or trauma are likely to affect school performance. In Alameda County, services for youth include young people up through the age of 24. This program is free.

“You Are Not Alone” is the first program of the new year for the African American Family Outreach Project, presenting noted speakers addressing concerns of families whose children and youth face mental health or emotional challenges.
School issues, for example, often affect a child’s mental health and a child’s emotional issues or trauma are likely to affect school performance. In Alameda County, services for youth include young people up through the age of 24. This program is free.
Headlining the Saturday event will be two speakers.
Lisa Carlisle, the director of the Children and Youth System of Care for the Alameda County Behavioral Health department, will provide an overview of child and adolescent development, the impact of trauma and the availability of services in Alameda County. Having worked in the classroom, in school administration and mental health settings, Carlisle comes with a depth of understanding of the need for strong partnerships between schools and mental health service providers.
Karriem Salaam, M.D., a board-certified psychiatrist specializing in children and adolescents will address the needs of young people in the COVID environment. He will also explain the importance of a full patient evaluation before considering medication. Salaam has also contributed to the book “Mind Matters,” writing about the importance of a full understanding of medications, their benefits and side effects.
Young people who may have faced trauma or emotional struggles often act out at school, with peers or at home. For family caregivers, information provided at the event will support families in developing a home plan vital for good outcomes with their children, with schools and with service providers. The event will run from 9:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Saturday, Feb. 5, 2022. To register go to https://bit.ly/AAFOPWorkshop or call 510-697-8533.

Oakland Post Endorses Barbara Lee
Barbara Lee will be able to unify the city around Oakland’s critical budget and financial issues, since she will walk into the mayor’s office with the support of a super majority of seven city council members — enabling her to achieve much-needed consensus on moving Oakland into a successful future.
As we end the celebration of Women’s History Month in Oakland, we endorse Barbara Lee, a woman of demonstrated historical significance. In our opinion, she has the best chance of uniting the city and achieving our needs for affordable housing, public safety, and fiscal accountability.
As a former small business owner, Barbara Lee understands how to apply tools needed to revitalize Oakland’s downtown, uptown, and neighborhood businesses.

It is notable that many of those who fought politically on both sides of the recent recall election battles have now laid down their weapons and become brothers and sisters in support of Barbara Lee. The Oakland Post is pleased to join them.
