The word IMPACT stands for Innovative Member Programs Advancing Compassion and Teamwork.
Runaway Intervention Program
The Runaway Intervention Program is a service of the Midwest Children’s Resource Center (MCRC) at Children’s Minnesota. It’s a structured home visiting program that provides one-on-one support to youth through home and community visits by a nurse practitioner and counseling services. The program’s goal is to restore a healthy developmental trajectory for runaway and homeless adolescents who have been victims of sexual abuse or exploitation.
“The Role of Bias in De-escalation” course
“The Role of Bias in De-escalation” interactive simulation training course puts health care providers face-to-face with live actors portraying parents of kids in high-stress medical situations. Throughout each course, participants – including clinical staff and organization leadership – have the opportunity for self-reflection and to identify personal biases. As a group, participants also engage in guided practice with facilitators to learn and use new techniques to provide equitable care to all patients.
