Speakers: Toni Heineman, Wendy von Wiederhold, and Deanna Linville
Dr. Toni Heineman is the Founder of A Home Within and Dr. Wendy von Wiederhold was our very first volunteer clinician, first Clinical Director of a Local Chapter, and the first Director of Local Chapters. Toni and Wendy will co-present the original ideas that led to the creation of A Home Within as well as the evolution of the organization over the last several decades.
During the first hour, Drs. Heineman and von Wiederhold will present how A Home Within was formed to mitigate the barriers to mental healthcare access experienced by current and former foster youth. In the second hour, they will have a conversation with Dr. Deanna Linville, the current Director of Clinical Programs, to discuss the current state of mental health care during the pandemic and strategies to promote healing for current and former foster youth.
Learning Objectives:
- To explore the key ingredients of the A Home Within model that lead to positive outcomes for the foster youth and alumni receiving care.
- To learn about the persistent barriers to mental healthcare access for foster youth over time and during the current Pandemic.
- To understand how A Home Within, as a service delivery model can mitigate these barriers and create new opportunities through telehealth.

Live courses are interactive and recorded courses are non-interactive. In order to complete and receive credit for live courses, attendees must remain for the duration of each event and complete the course evaluation directly following each event. A link to the evaluation will be shared in the Zoom chat box during the live webinar. To earn home-study credits for recorded webinars, viewers must watch each course and complete the evaluation and posttest for each course. Viewers have 3 chances to pass the posttest with a score of 75% or higher. Once the evaluations or the evaluations and postttests are completed, we will generate and issue certificates via email within one week of completion.
Credit is calculated by the hours of the event (1 hour = 1 credit, 2 hours = 2 credits, etc.). The time it takes to complete the course evaluation and/or the posttest does not count toward CE credits.
To participate in a live webinar, a system that runs Zoom is required. To watch a recorded event for home-study, a system that plays recorded videos is required.
