SUMMARY:Advancing the Science on Peer Support and Suicide Prevention
DESCRIPTION:Advancing the Science on Peer Support and Suicide Prevention 2-Day Workshop\n\n\nThis virtual workshop is hosted by the National Institute of Mental Health on Thursday\, February 8th and Monday\, February 12th.\nPeer support services specifically intended to contribute to suicide risk reduction are becoming more prominent in healthcare systems and community settings. Such services can be used to address barriers for receiving proven interventions\, while also improving hope\, connection\, recovery\, and empowerment. Despite emerging research on the effectiveness and implementation of these models\, there are research gaps that could lead to missed opportunities in optimizing them. This NIMH-sponsored workshop will bring together experts in peer support suicide prevention to discuss relevant conceptual frameworks\, recent advances in understanding what works and for whom\, service settings and service-user characteristics that inform intervention strategies across the crisis services continuum\, digital and tele-health applications\, considerations for youth\, and equity considerations. The workshop will identify innovative advancements and areas that need additional research as the field moves forward. \n\nAbout this event\n\n\n\n\nThis is a virtual event. A zoom link will be sent to you prior to the event date. There is no cost to attend and CEUs are not provided. \nSee the full schedule and register online.

SUMMARY:Treating Comorbid PTSD and Substance Use Disorder
DESCRIPTION:Treating Comorbid PTSD and Substance Use Disorder\nJanuary 30\, 2024\n9:00-10:30 am Pacific\n10am MT – 11am CT – 12pm ET\nLocation: \nVirtual location \nYou will receive a confirmation email with a URL. \nRegister online \nPresented by:\nSonya B. Norman\, PhD \nDescription: \nPosttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) rarely occurs on its own yet comorbid conditions can complicate treatment and impact treatment outcomes. In this lecture\, we will learn about two common co-occurring conditions. We will discuss the comorbidity of PTSD and substance use disorder (SUD). SUD is one of the most prevalent comorbidities among those with PTSD. Topics will include why these two disorders often co-occur and how those who have both differ from those who have either PTSD or SUD in terms of their physical and mental health and treatment outcomes. We will review research on how to effectively treat those who have both PTSD and SUD. The focus of the lecture will be on clinical strategies to use when treating clients who have PTSD+SUD. \nMore Information Contact: \nOrganizer: Katie Stenger\, (716) 673-5017

DESCRIPTION:Wednesday\, January 17\, 2024: 1:00 p.m. – 2:00 p.m. EST \nPresented by VA’s Homeless Programs Office\, National Center on Homelessness among Veterans\, in collaboration with VHA’s Institute for Learning\, Education and Development (ILEAD) \nAudience: Participants may include but are not limited to physicians\, nurses\, dentists\, psychologists\, social workers\, counselors\, case managers\, housing specialists\, peer specialists\, occupational therapy practitioners\, team leaders\, supervisors\, Network Homeless Coordinators\, staff working in VA’s homeless programs and all professionals supporting Veterans experiencing housing insecurity. \nModality:  Virtual conference (webinar) \nCredit/hours:  1 \nAccreditations:  ACCME\, ACCME-NP\, ANCC\, APA\, ASWB\, NBCC\, ADA\, NYSED\, SW\, AOTA\, CRCC \n Overview:\nThe purpose of this live\, virtual\, knowledge-based session is to describe strategies that support the implementation of evidence-based practices in settings serving homeless Veterans\, using the case example of a national initiative to implement Critical Time Intervention (CTI) in 32 VA Grant and Per Diem (GPD) case management sites. This project was funded by the VA Quality Enhancement Research Initiative (QUERI). \nEnding Veteran homelessness is an urgent national priority. By investing in robust health and housing services for homeless-experienced Veterans (HEVs)\, the VA has made tremendous strides in addressing Veteran homelessness. Veterans who remain homeless despite these services are extraordinarily vulnerable; at present\, 41% of HEVs are unsheltered\, living on the streets\, in abandoned buildings\, or other places not intended for human habitation. To further VA’s goal of ending Veteran homelessness\, there is a pressing need to identify effective practices that support the scale up\, spread\, and sustainment of evidence-based practices (EBPs) across the broad range of VA services and community-based organizations that serve HEVs. \nOne such service is VA’s GPD program\, which is considered a cornerstone of VA’s strategic plan to end Veteran homelessness. Operated by VA’s community partners\, this program provides long-term (up to 24 months) transitional housing and supportive services for HEVs. Many HEVs transition from GPD sites into independent housing\, but GPD case management ceases at the transition out of GPD sites\, leaving many HEVs without support. Several years ago\, Congress required VA to address this quality gap; in March 2019\, VA awarded $30 million to 128 GPD sites to provide 6 months of case management (known as the GPD case management program) for HEVs transitioning to independent living and not otherwise receiving case management. \nAt present\, no specific case management paradigm is required in the GPD case management program\, resulting in significant practice variation across sites. If implemented nationally\, Critical Time Intervention—an evidence-based\, structured\, and time-limited case management model—would standardize and improve case management delivered in the GPD case management program. However\, very few GPD case management staff have prior experience delivering EBPs or engaging in agency wide EBP implementation. Partnered with the GPD National Program Office\, our team is implementing Critical Time Intervention in 32 GPD case management sites\, supported by a robust training and technical assistance program. Half of these sites also receive “coaching\,” or tailored support for providers and leaders in their efforts to adopt and incorporate EBPs into their routine care processes. \nThis session will share our experiences with implementing Critical Time Intervention\, as a case example that describes potential supports for EBP implementation in settings that serve HEVs. We will highlight lessons learned from this implementation initiative and engage with the audience to discuss ways to support the implementation of other EBPs in VA and community-partnered contexts that work with HEVs. \nLearning Objectives:\nAt the conclusion of this educational program\, learners will be able to:\n\nDescribe challenges to evidence-based practice implementation in settings serving homeless Veterans.\nIdentify strategies used to support the implementation of Critical Time Intervention in VA Grant and Per Diem case management programs.\nApply lessons learned from the implementation of Critical Time Intervention to bolster other evidence-based practice implementation efforts in VA homeless programs.\n\nRegistration:  To receive credit for attending\, VA employees need to register in TMS before the training begins:  \nTo find a course when logging into TMS: \nGo to Learning\, scroll down to My Learning\,  type in Course # and Title  \nVA 131011449 Supporting Evidence-Based Practice Implementation In Settings Serving Veterans Who Have Experienced Homelessness \nBe sure to click Register Now rather than Assign to Me or Start Course \nIf you are external to the VA or Non VA staff you must have a registered TRAIN account AND register for this training in TRAIN PRIOR to commencing training\, failure to do so will result in CEUs not being awarded. \nIf you do not have a TRAIN account please click the  link: https://vha.train.org. \nVA staff register here\n Non-VA staff Register here\n*Note The Non-VA staff registration link is currently unavailable.

SUMMARY:988 Formative Research: Messaging and Communications about 988 to People at Higher Risk for or Disproportionately Impacted by Suicide
DESCRIPTION:Date & Time: Nov 7\, 2023 02:30 PM\nRegister online\n\n\nThis webinar will preview findings of the 988 Formative Research. These findings can help form the basis of future culturally sensitive\, responsive\, effective\, and successful 988 communications: First\, to make more people aware of 988 across the country\, and then to instill trust and confidence in the service so people will contact 988 when struggling with mental health\, or in a moment of crisis\, or in need of support. The webinar will also preview resources developed by the project that can support behavioral health agencies and service providers’ communication efforts to increase awareness and use of 988 in their communities.\n\nWith the nationwide transition to 988 as the 3-digit number for 24/7 support for anyone experiencing a mental health crisis or emotional distress\, a need arose for 988-specific formative research among groups at higher risk for or disproportionately impacted by suicide. The 988 Formative Research Project began in summer 2022 as a collaborative effort led by the National Action Alliance for Suicide Prevention (Action Alliance)\, the Suicide Prevention Resource Center (SPRC)\, and the Ad Council Research Institute (ACRI)\, supported by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA).\n\nThe project fills a critical research gap and supports more informed 988 messaging and implementation efforts. Learning Objectives:\n• Learn about key findings from the 988 Formative Research.\n• Learn how this research can support communication efforts to increase awareness and use of 988 among groups at higher risk for or disproportionately impacted by suicide.
