Welcome to Community Resources Minnesota, a podcast where we explore the different community resources that Minnesota has to offer! My name is Jerome Evans and I host the TV Show Bottomless Coffee with Jerome and the podcast Bottomless Coffee Podcast. You can stream both at BottomlessCoffeeShow.com. The first part of episodes on Community Resources Minnesota explores individual organizations, nonprofits, or opportunities and the second part of our episodes list out information from authoritative sources like the Minnesota Department of Health. Today we are exploring Reclaim Reclaim is located at 2446 University Ave W Suite 104, St Paul, MN 55114. Their phone number is (612) 235-6743. And their website is https://www.reclaim.care/ and the following information all comes from that website. Reclaim Reclaim’s site is broken into sections called Who We Are, What We Do, How to Help, Events, and Blog. In each section there is standalone information and also additional links to information. RECLAIM's mission is to increase access to mental health care so queer and trans youth may reclaim their lives from oppression in all its forms. RECLAIM is one of the region's only resources where queer and trans youth ages 12-25 can get financially accessible, specialized mental health care. Reclaim provides individual, family, group, and couples counseling to folks who are seeking support with identity development as it relates to sexual orientation, gender identity, and/or gender expression. Reclaim supports young people in building resilience as they navigate multiple biases and oppressions that can impact their wellbeing. Beyond therapy, RECLAIM provides community trainings, education, and outreach to local partners to change the overall landscape of access to care for queer and trans youth. Also under the Who We Are section you’ll find Mission and History, Queer and Trans 101, Board, Staff, Careers, and Contact Information What we do: RECLAIM increases access to mental health support so that queer and trans youth ages 13-25 may reclaim their lives from oppression in all its forms. We provide therapy to 65+ youth each week, 80% of whom are trans or gender nonconforming; develop practitioners with an emphasis on changing the landscape of access to care in our region through training POCI therapists in gender competent care; and partner in community through outreach & education and the intersection of gender and racial justice. Also under What We Do you’ll find links for Therapy, Practitioners, and Training and Consultation Therapy: RECLAIM provides individual, family, and couples counseling for young people ages 13-25 who are seeking services focused on identity development as it relates to sexual orientation, gender identity, and/or gender expression. We support young people in building resilience as they navigate multiple biases and oppressions that can impact their wellbeing. RECLAIM’s therapists use the Adaptive Internal Relational (AIR) Network as a foundational approach to guide their work with young people and their experiences of trauma. The AIR Network is “a neuro-developmental, competency-based model of therapy that is primarily oriented toward giving people the freedom to engage fully with themselves and in relationships with others.” More information on this model can be found at www.airnetworkinstitute.com. In addition to the AIR Network, our therapists also use Narrative therapy, CBT, DBT, somatic experiencing and person-centered models of care. Practitioners: RECLAIM has historically offered training, mentorship, and support for practitioners and practitioners-in-training through internships, fellowships, and Passages (a program formerly known as the POC Therapy Cohort). We believe in supporting practitioners of all experience levels to provide care that is sensitive to the diverse needs in our community. We currently have limited offerings for training and plan to restart internships in...

Welcome to Community Resources Minnesota, a podcast where we explore the different community resources that Minnesota has to offer! The first part of our episodes explore individual organizations, nonprofits, or opportunities and the second part of our episodes list out information from authoritative sources like the Minnesota Department of Health. Today we are exploring Youth Services Network. Youth Services Network is an online resource located at YSNMN.org. The following information all comes from observations of the Youth Services Network website. Youth Services Network The site is an efficient and very useful directory of resources. On either your phone or computer the site will ask for your location to connect you with the resources that are closest to you. Youth Services Network connects you with shelters, outreach workers, or other programs. We’ll now take a brief look at each. Shelters When there’s no beds that match your needs: Under 18 call or text the BFY Youth Response Center: Text (612) 400-7233 or call (612) 377-8800 18 and over contact the YMCA Youth Resource Line: 763-493-3052 As of this recording the Shelters section of YSNMN.org has 12 shelters. 9 of those are currently greyed out and 3 of them are clickable. I believe that means that 3 of the shelters listed have availability. Outreach Workers A list of 3 outreach workers is provided along with their contact information. Programs The programs on the website are all pages with contact information regarding the appropriate subject matter. Again - the site is very direct and efficient with information.

The following information all comes from the Avenues for Youth website which is AvenuesForYouth.org.

Avenues for Youth Support Beyond Shelter Avenues programs not only provide safe shelter and housing options for youth, but holistic supports to meet a youth's mental, physical, and life-long goals. Youth are the drivers of their own journeys, and Aveneus is here to walk alongside them during this part of their story. Avenues programs support youth in Minnesota who are 16-24 years old, and their children, who are experiencing homelessness. Avenues Mission Avenues partners with youth experiencing homelessness to achieve their dreams.

For more than 25 years, Avenues has supported youth ages 16-24 in Hennepin County. Whether a young person needs someplace to stay for just one night, or a year and a half, Avenues empowers youth to find their path out of homelessness. They do that by providing a stable home, building trusting relationships, and navigating the youth’s education, career, health and wellness and housing goals.

Avenue believes:

Homelessness does not define a person. It is just one part of a journey that we are here to help young people navigate. Nearly all youth experiencing homelessness have or are experiencing trauma. Therefore, mental health is at the center of all our work. There is no one reason why youth experience homelessness – it’s intersectional. Systems of oppression, racism and poverty are some of the root causes of homelessness. Without addressing these systems, homelessness will persist. Youth are resilient, inspiring, and the drivers of their own journey. With stability, trust and youth-centered supports, their dreams can become reality. Avenues work is guided by the 9 Evidence-based, Guiding Principles to Help Youth Overcome Homeless and our core values: equity, community, respect and dignity, trust, liberation and anti-oppression.

In 2018, Avenues adopted a new three-year strategic plan, mission statement and core values. Our strategic plan goals are: Put social justice at the center of our work Create an inclusive and learning culture Strengthen organizational effectiveness and impact Champion Community engagement and solidarity partnership and collaboration

Shelter And Housing Availability Go to Avenues for Youth.org FOR CURRENT SHELTER BED AVAILABILITY AND FOR IMMEDIATE RESOURCES Avenues operates two shelter and transitional living programs that support youth ages 16-20 of all gender identities. Minneapolis Avenues, in North Minneapolis, provides emergency shelter and housing in a welcoming and youth-driven environment. We're here to help you navigate resources to get you where you want to be. If you're looking for a one-three night stay in an emergency bed, reserve a bed using the link on the website.

Welcome to Community Resources Minnesota, a podcast where we explore the different community resources that Minnesota has to offer! The first part of our episodes explore individual organizations, nonprofits, or opportunities and the second part of our episodes list out information from authoritative sources like the Minnesota Department of Health. Today we are exploring Youth and AIDS Project or YAP for short. YAP is located at 2929 4th Ave S #203, Minneapolis, MN 55408 and their phone number is ‭651-231-4849‬. Their website is yapmn.org and the following information all comes from that website. Youth AIDS Project The University of Minnesota Youth and AIDS Projects (YAP) was founded in 1989, with a mission to prevent transmission of HIV to and from high-risk youth and to provide care to youth and families living with HIV infection. Our governing philosophy is that adolescents can and do make responsible health-related decisions, given appropriate resources and support. YAP programs are grounded in the belief that HIV-related services for youth must be developmentally appropriate, culturally competent, coordinated, and family-centered in order to be effective. YAP is administratively housed in the Division of General Pediatrics and Adolescent Health in the Department of Pediatrics at the University of Minnesota. As both a University- and community-based organization, YAP intertwines service provision, research, and teaching in all aspects of programming. Overall COVID-19 Response: The safety and health of our clients, community, and staff are central to our response to COVID-19. As a result, YAP staff have moved to a hybrid remote/in-person work model. Walk-in services may not be available at all times. Education groups have resumed, and we are making our best efforts to include a virtual option for these sessions.

If attending an in-person appointment, face coverings (masks) and social distancing are recommended. If you would like the staff person you are meeting with to wear a mask, please inform them. Masks are available to all clients for both YAP office use, and for PPE use in the community. If you require additional assistance or precautions, contact YAP staff prior to your appointment.

Services:

HIV Case Management Services HIV services help HIV+ youth achieve quality of life, prevent premature illness/death, and prevent secondary transmission to partners and offspring.

This is accomplished through comprehensive case management and easy access to: Cost-effective medical/dental/nutritional services Mental health services Social services Prevention services Educational/vocational services Financial/logistical services Legal/advocacy services Treatment Adherence services

HIV Prevention Program Our Prevention Program aims to prevent transmission of HIV to and from 13 to 24 year-old young men who have sex with men (YMSM) and to improve the capacity of providers and parents to meet these young people's prevention needs.

HIV Risk Assessment Upon enrollment, all clients complete an individual risk assessment with our HIV Prevention Program staff. These sessions are scheduled at the clients' conveniences in a variety of locations. The initial assessment provides the case manager a baseline of information for individualized education and risk-reduction counseling and also allows us to monitor subsequent changes in knowledge and attitudes about HIV/AIDS and other STI's (sexually transmitted infections), and risk behaviors. At the same time we are gathering information from a client, the client is receiving valuable information about HIV/AIDS and other STI transmission, and learning (and thinking) about their own level of risk.

Referral Services After the initial assessment, prevention staff work with clients over a three month period to correct any remaining misinformation and to set individual goals for AIDS prevention. Youth who are in need of additional...

Red Door Clinic is located in the Health Services Building at 525 Portland Avenue on the 4th floor. That’s in Minneapolis MN 55414. Their clinic hours are M,T.W.F 8-4 and Th 10-4. They’re closed on Saturdays, Sundays, and county holidays.

Red Door provides sexual health care for all people. We never turn away based on ability to pay. Services are divided into STD, HIV, and other Services.

Here is a breakdown of those services:

STDs Anyone who has sex can get an STD, also called STI (sexually transmitted infection). Many people don’t know they’ve been infected because they don’t have symptoms. STDs can cause serious health problems and increase your risk of HIV infection. Red Door offers testing for all people ages 12 and older. We also treat many infections. Red Door's specially trained staff will talk openly with you to determine the right testing and treatment

HIV. HIV services are divided into Testing, PREP and PEP, Support if you are HIV+, and if you are pregnant. TESTING Go to Red Door to get the rapid HIV test The only way to know if you have HIV is to get tested. Red Door will take blood from your finger and give you your results during your visit. Results are confidential. PREP and PEP PrEP is a daily pill for people who don't have HIV but are at high risk of getting it. Red Door prescribes medication that helps protect against HIV infection. This medication, along with condom use, safer sex counseling, and routine testing for sexually transmitted infections, can help reduce your risk of getting HIV. For more providers, view our interactive map of PrEP providers in the metro area at RedDoorClinic.org

For help picking an insurance plan for PrEP, visit NASTAD's PrEP Coverage Tool.

PEP is a pill for people who don't have HIV but may have been exposed to it within the last 72 hours. PEP appointments are available during regular clinic hours. The sooner you can come in the better, since PEP is most effective when taken closest to the time of exposure.

Some people who are HIV positive and on treatment are undetectable, which means their virus level is so low that it's highly unlikely they could transmit the virus to others. To date, there've been no cases of transmission among people who are undetectable.

Support if you are HIV+ Red Door connects people living with HIV to medical care, including those who are out of care and want to get back in, or are new to Minnesota and need help finding care here.

We provide a list of HIV health care providers in the community, help you make appointments, figure out insurance and financial assistance, and help with referrals for mental health, food, hormone treatment, employment and housing. For HIV-related consultation and referrals, call us at 612-543-5555.

Red Door offers the Positive Perspectives discussion group, for people living with HIV.

If you have HIV, we recommend telling your sexual partner(s) so they can get tested and treated. Red Door has specially trained staff who can find and notify your sexual partners. Ask about partner notification when you come in for testing.

If you're pregnant Pregnant people who are HIV positive can spread the infection to their unborn babies, or during childbirth or breastfeeding.

Go to your pregnancy health care provider, such as an obstetrician or gynecologist. If you don’t have a provider, call the United Way for a referral at 651-291-0211 or call 211 from

People who get the Novavax vaccine for their primary vaccine series are currently not recommended to get a booster shot, but one may be recommended in the future. At this time, Novavax cannot be used as a booster shot for people who received other COVID-19 vaccines.

Welcome to Community Resources: Minnesota! Today is June 26th, 2022 - I just took a COVID test and the results was negative for COVID-19! Woohoo! My name is Jerome Evans, I host the TV Show Bottomless Coffee with Jerome and another podcast called Bottomless Coffee Podcast. You can stream episodes at BottomlessCoffeeShow.com. Today on Community Resources Minnesota - we’re sharing information about the community resources that we have at our disposal. The information for this episode is coming from The Minnesota Department of Health! Today we’re going to start with Announcements and go through upcoming COVID Vaccine Events. As always, to get all the good details - you do need to go to BottomlessCoffeeShow.com/Community. AnnouncementsAppointments open for vaccinating children under 5 at the Mall of AmericaState run site one of many options for parents, along with pediatricians, local clinics and pharmacies

Today, the State of Minnesota announced that appointments at the state-run Mall of America COVID-19 vaccination site are now open for Minnesota children between 6 months and 5 years old. This follows final authorization of the COVID-19 vaccine for this age group, which was recommended by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) over the weekend. Parents can now book appointments for the Pfizer vaccine at the Mall of America site online by going to: https://my.primary.health/r/vaxmn (Community Vaccination for COVID-19). The Mall of America vaccination site is open Wednesdays through Fridays, 1:00 p.m. - 8:00 p.m., and Saturdays 9:00 a.m. – 4:00 p.m. Appointments are required for children 6 months to 5 years at the Mall of America, and initial demand is expected to be high. While the state-run Mall of America vaccination site is one option for parents, Minnesota’s provider network – primarily large medical systems, pediatricians, local clinics, and pharmacies – will administer most COVID-19 vaccines to children between 6 months and 5 years old because of their expertise caring for young children. Vaccine shipments are expected to arrive to Minnesota providers in waves over the next week.

Welcome to Community Resources: Minnesota! Today is March 23rd, 2022, it is 36 degrees today which means that it is 37 degrees warmer today than it was 2 weeks ago when I recorded the last episode of this podcast. That’s wild! My name is Jerome Evans, I host the TV Show Bottomless Coffee with Jerome and another podcast called Bottomless Coffee Podcast. You can stream episodes at BottomlessCoffeeShow.com. Today on Community Resources Minnesota - we’re sharing information about the community resources that we have at our disposal. Today that information is coming from The Minnesota Department of Health but there’s A LOT this week. Definitely too much to go over in detail on the podcast. But here’s what we ARE gonna do. For this episode we’re going to start with Announcements, go through upcoming COVID Vaccine Events, and then touch on some training and events, funding announcements, and job opportunities that were also sent my way. To get all the good details though - you do need to go to BottomlessCoffeeShow.com/Community. And then one more thing - there’s really no reason to hoard information about community resources to yourselves. If you know about something that’s going on and want to share then send a quick email to Jerome@bottomlesscoffeeshow.com, okay? I’d love to help get the word out. Announcements Dream of Wild Health (DWH) Indigenous Food Share (IFS) Program Dream of Wild Health (DWH) announces that the purchase of shares in their Indigenous Food Share (IFS) Program (https://dreamofwildhealth.org/farm/ifs) opened to the general public in February. They have transitioned towards a sliding scale payment model which will increase food access to Native families in the Twin Cities. To make this possible, they've created the Indigenous Food Share Solidarity Fund, which will subsidize the cost of IFS shares for DWH program families and community partners who otherwise would not be able to afford a share. If you would like to support Native food sovereignty and help them reach their $10,000 fundraising goal, please do so by donating to the Indigenous Food Share Solidarity Fund (https://www.givemn.org/story/Indigenousfoodshare). Gov Walz Announces MN College Registration as part of ‘Kids Deserve a Shot’ See Word Document We’ve been through this one. You can enter to win a 100,000 college scholarship if your child, age 5-11, is fully vaccinated for COVID-19. That registration is open until around the middle of April. Vaccine Data Dashboard Update We talked through this one last time as well. The dashboard is now tracking fully vaccinated people and defining that as having the appropriate number of initial shots AND a booster. Red Lake Nation Tribal College produced a video on COVID 19 vaccinations. It’s really good! Definitely worth watching and sharing. https://gcc02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fwatch%3Fv%3DMMu2YqGCIuA&data=04%7C01%7CAdele.Hebl.C19%40state.mn.us%7C731c7eea6f9b41f8c45108da0c4852db%7Ceb14b04624c445198f26b89c2159828c%7C0%7C0%7C637835802698213824%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C3000&sdata=ldF4Fs%2BGri13kkSnyv9tJ%2B%2BFUTh5O7qcqDShYuQo9dc%3D&reserved=0 (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MMu2YqGCIuA)

Welcome to Community Resources: Minnesota! Today is March 12th, 2022, it was -1 degrees this morning in Minneapolis, and it has NO BUSINESS being this cold in March. My name is Jerome Evans, I host the TV Show Bottomless Coffee with Jerome and another podcast called Bottomless Coffee Podcast. You can stream episodes at BottomlessCoffeeShow.com. Today on Community Resources Minnesota - we’re sharing information about the community resources that we have at our disposal. Today that information is coming from The Minnesota Department of Health and the Minneapolis Health Department. For this episode we’re going to start with Announcements, a job opportunity, a request for proposals for a community wellbeing grant, and then talk through Vaccine Events that are taking place around Minnesota. Also - you can open up the description and read through everything I’m talking about. I’ll put links in the description when possible. But a lot of these announcements and events come with flyers. So you really should go to BottomlessCoffeeShow.com/Community and look through all of the supplemental info there as well. And then one more thing - there’s really no reason to hoard information about community resources to yourselves. If you know about something that’s going on and want to share then send a quick email to Jerome@bottomlesscoffeeshow.com, okay? I’d love to help get the word out. https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/16iHvtqWJUW52TBNMWxy7D5GvXxAvkVaN?usp=sharing (See all Attachments and Flyers) Announcements Last week we talked through the new CDC COVID Community Level Guidelines. As of today, March 12, the COVID Community Level in Hennepin County Minnesota is LOW. Here is what the CDC says is appropriate behavior when the COVID Community Level is LOW. “In areas where the COVID-19 Community Level is low—people, households, and communities can take minimal, practical precautions.” So - that’s not NO precautions. That’s minimal, practical precautions. I would still suggest leaving a venue of someone is showing signs of COVID but for the most part you don’t have to give every stranger on the train side eye for sitting down in the seat next to you. Especially since it’s still required to wear a mask on the light rail. Gov Walz Announces MN College Registration as part of ‘Kids Deserve a Shot’ See Word Document Governor Tim Walz has announced the registration form is open for Minnesota parents whose 5- to 11-year-olds receive the COVID-19 vaccine to register for a $100,000 Minnesota college scholarship, the next phase of the “Kids Deserve a Shot” vaccine incentive program. Any Minnesota parent or guardian whose 5- to 11-year-olds have ever received both doses of COVID-19 vaccine by April 11 can enter to win one of five $100,000 Minnesota College Scholarships. On April 15, the State of Minnesota will hold a drawing for five $100,000 scholarships valid at any public or private non-profit higher educational institution in Minnesota. Some updates have been made to the Vaccine Data Dashboard. I reviewed the list of changes and the biggest update seems to be that they’ve included a tab for how many people are up to date on their vaccine. Right now up to date is defined as having the appropriate series of vaccination shots followed by the appropriate number of boosters. Of course the number of shots that you need to be up to date depends on the status of your immune system and the initial vaccine that you got. So - since I’m an adult and had Johnson and Johnson - I need that one initial shot and a booster to be up to date. Other people will need more or fewer shots to be up to date.

Welcome to Community Resources: Minnesota - a new podcast that I’m giving a try. Today is March 5th, 2022. My name is Jerome Evans, I host the TV Show Bottomless Coffee with Jerome and another podcast called Bottomless Coffee Podcast. Those two projects are based around conversation. But for this podcast - Community Resources Minnesota - I want to focus on sharing information about the community resources that we have at our disposal! Today I’m sharing information that was sent to me from The Minnesota Department of Health, CDC, the Cultural, Faith, and Disability Communities COVID-19 Updates list, the MN Immigrant and Refugee Health Announcements list, and The Center for Health Equity. For this episode we’re going to start with Announcements and then talk through Vaccine Events that are taking place around Minnesota and then finish up with CDC Updates. Also - you can open up the description and read through everything I’m talking about. I’ll put links in the description when possible. But a lot of these announcements and events come with flyers. So you really should go to BottomlessCoffeeShow.com/Community and look through all of the supplemental info there as well. Announcements MAJOR CDC UPDATE

On Feb. 25, 2022, CDC updated their framework for monitoring the level of COVID-19 in communities. With this new framework, the focus of recommendations is on minimizing severe disease, limiting strain on the health care system, and enabling those at highest risk to protect themselves against infection and severe disease. This new framework is called the “COVID-19 Community Level.” It moves beyond looking just at cases and test positivity to look at factors that reflect the severity of disease – including hospitalizations and hospital capacity— and helps to determine whether the level of COVID-19 and severe disease are low, medium, or high in a community. Knowing the COVID-19 Community Level in your area and your own underlying risk will help you determine what prevention measures to take. Go to www.CDC.gov to view the County Check Tool where you can identify your COVID-19 Community Level and the recommended prevention strategies for your community. Given this new framework, MDH website content, materials, and guidance will be reviewed and updated as needed in the coming days. The COVID-19 Community Level will inform CDC recommendations on prevention measures, like masking and screening testing in public settings, including schools. And CDC’s recommendations for layered prevention measures will depend on the COVID-19 Level in the community. In areas where the COVID-19 Community Level is low—people, households, and communities can take minimal, practical precautions. In areas where the COVID-19 Community Level is medium—CDC recommends focusing specific prevention measures on protecting those at increased risk of severe illness. In areas where the COVID-19 Community Level is high—layered prevention measures are recommended to avoid overwhelming local hospitals and health care systems by preventing severe illness and death. Layering prevention means the more steps you take to slow the spread of COVID-19, the safer you will be. Regardless of level, people should stay up to date on their vaccines and get tested when needed. The letter in its entirety is posted on the site. American Heart Association Virtual Town Hall.
