SUMMARY:Crisis in a Post-Pandemic World: Back to Basics
DESCRIPTION:Over the past few years\, we have all witnessed significant changes in our health\, economy\, politics\, social justice and challenges just getting through our daily lives. Crisis services have increasingly been asked to respond to a myriad of new challenges in how individuals relate to themselves and others. Communities are being wracked by violent events and it seems that traumatic situations are occurring in the news daily. Trauma contributes to responses such as isolation\, anxiety\, and substance abuse. \nAs a result of these traumas\, crisis workers\, first responders\, law enforcement and service-related providers are charged with returning those exposed to trauma back to a new normal\, this often takes a great toll on those responding. \nObjectives• Address special areas of interest: trauma informed care\, traumatic events\, community safety and crisis skill building;• Identify crisis intervention strategies for working with specific populations;• Discuss methods and techniques that crisis workers can use in assessing and responding to crisis situations;• Develop an understanding of the frustrations of those struggling to overcome the effects of mental health stigma. \nThe Crisis Intervention Association of PennsylvaniaSeven Springs Mountain ResortChampion\, PAApril 26–27\, 2023 \nRegistration link: https://form.jotform.com/230436336624049

SUMMARY:Motivating Veterans to Engage in Substance Use Disorder Treatment
DESCRIPTION:Motivating Veterans to Engage in Substance Use Disorder Treatment\nTuesday\, March 28th\, 2023\n9:30AM PST – 10:30AM MT – 12:30PM EST \nLocation: \nVirtual Presentation \nPresented By: \nAlice Maynor\, LCSW \nDescription:\nVeterans are a unique population to treat for substance use and mental illness due to their background in the military. After ears of having strict structure\, highly stressful career expectations\, and rigorous back to back training\, Veterans re-entering the civilian world can be a difficult challenge to overcome for most. Because of this\, Veterans struggling with substance use disorder and PTSD often enter treatment extremely guarded and/or resistant to treatment\, which can lead to them leaving treatment early. Substance abuse and PTSD are complex issues that require consistent care and commitment to healing for any population\, but for Veterans\, it’s important to understand the barriers that they face on a daily basis and how to help them overcome them. \nRegister online.

SUMMARY:Recovery is Community: The PA Statewide Tobacco-Free Recovery Initiative
DESCRIPTION:Tuesday\, Feb 21 • 12 pm to 1 pm \nFREE. Register online. \nPresented by Tony Klein\, MPA\, NCACII\, & Katie Gassner\, CTTS  \nPennsylvanians who enter recovery from mental and substance use disorders deserve the best care possible. Over the years\, we’ve learned that people who are offered evidenced-based tobacco interventions while in treatment for other addictions have better overall treatment outcomes compared to those who do not. Despite this understanding\, tobacco use is often overlooked in the treatment setting and smoking remains a prime form of socialization in the recovering community. This training provides an overview of the Pennsylvania Statewide Tobacco-Free Recovery Initiative. Advancing a new normal supportive of tobacco interventions is achieved through an integrated\, data-driven systems approach\, community partnerships\, and a strength-based\, recovery-oriented perspective. \nLearning Objectives – Participant will be able to: \n\nDefine the PA Statewide Tobacco-Free Recovery Initiative’s vision and mission.\nCite three strategies to advance evidence-based tobacco use disorder interventions within a recovery-oriented framework.\n\nFree CE credit of 1.0 hour for AMA\, ANCC\, and LSW/LCW/LPC/LMFT will be offered to those who attend. \nRequirements include attendance for the duration of the session and completion of a course evaluation provided at the end of the session.  \nACCREDITATION \nIn support of improving patient care the University of Pittsburgh is jointly accredited by the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education (ACCME)\, the Accreditation Council for Pharmacy Education (ACPE)\, and the American Nurses Credentialing Center (ANCC) to provide continuing education for the health care team. \nPHYSICIAN (CME) \nThe University of Pittsburgh designates this live activity for a maximum of 1.0 AMA PRA Category 1 Credits™.

SUMMARY:How States and Communities Can Better Support Military and Veteran Caregivers
DESCRIPTION:Three-part Series: December 13\, 2022; January 12\, 2023; February 9\, 2023Time: 2:00–3:30 p.m. ET \nRegister Online \nPart 3: February 9\, 2023 \n\nSession 3 – Strengthening Community Supports and Promoting Financial Wellness for Military and Veteran Caregivers\n\nThursday\, February 9\, 2023\, 2:00-3:30 p.m. ET \n\nLearning Objectives\n\nIllustrate how states and communities can come together to support military and Veteran caregivers\nHighlight the challenges caregivers face related to financial wellness and the resources available to help\n\nPresenter\n\nShawn Moore\, L.M.S.W.\, Founder\, Executive Director\, Caregivers on the Homefront; Program Manager\, Financial Wellness\, Elizabeth Dole Foundation\n\n\n\n\nWith over 5.5 million military and Veteran caregivers in the United States\, the implementation of the newly released National Strategy to Support Family Caregivers is a critical step forward for those caring for our Nation’s wounded\, ill\, and injured service members and Veterans. Caregivers consistently experience worse health outcomes\, greater challenges in family relationships\, and increased difficulties in the workplace than non-caregivers. Military and Veteran caregivers are unique in that they tend to be younger and serve in caregiver roles longer than their civilian counterparts. \n\n\nThis learning community will provide participants an opportunity to learn in a small group and interactive setting. The objectives of this learning community are to (1) Discover a framework for supporting military and Veteran caregivers\, (2) Examine how both paid and informal caregivers can be recognized and valued in the continuum of care\, and (3) Identify resources available that are specifically tailored for military and Veteran caregivers. \n\n\nThe learning community will meet monthly for three sessions beginning in December 2022 via Zoom. Each session will feature an expert presentation with engaging group discussion incorporated throughout.

SUMMARY:Recovery is Community: Tobacco Use in Behavioral Health
DESCRIPTION:Presented by Tony Klein\, MPA\, NCACII\, & Katie Gassner\, CTTS \nDespite significant progress made in reducing smoking in the general population\, individuals with mental and substance use disorders bear a disproportionate burden of tobacco-related illness\, disability\, and premature death. This training explores the basis for widespread smoking in the recovering community and the bio-psycho-social aspects of tobacco use disorder.
