SUMMARY:Considering Alternatives to Prohibiting Psychedelic Drugs
DESCRIPTION:The RAND Epstein Family Veterans Policy Research Institute and the RAND Drug Policy Research Center Invite You to Attend \n\n\n\n\n\n\nConsidering Alternatives to Prohibiting Psychedelic Drugs\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThursday\, July 18\, 2024 \n4 to 5 p.m. EDT /\n1 to 2 p.m. PDT \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nZoom Webinar\nPlease register in advance \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRegister now »\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout the Program\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPsychedelic substances\, such as psilocybin mushrooms and MDMA (ecstasy)\, have long been touted as holding promise for treating various mental health conditions. Some Indigenous groups have used some of these substances as spiritual medicines in traditional healing and ceremonies for millennia. Over the past decade\, an increasing number of military veterans have pushed for more access to some of these substances. Clinical studies\, including research conducted at (and that will soon be funded by) the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs\, are growing. \nAt the same time\, some states and local governments are loosening their approaches to some psychedelics. In fact\, some states are implementing or considering approaches that legalize some forms of supply to adults for any reason. It seems likely that more jurisdictions will consider and implement alternative policies to prohibiting the nonclinical supply of some psychedelics\, possibly including retail sales. This means that these products will made more available to the U.S. population\, including veterans. But how widely available will the drugs be? Under what conditions will they be accessed? And how will these changes affect Indigenous communities? Answers to these and other policy-related questions remain to be seen. \nOur panel of experts will present new data about the use of psychedelics in the United States from a newly released RAND Report Considering Alternatives to Psychedelic Drug Prohibition. They will highlight the changing policy landscape at the state and local levels and consider the pros and cons of potential policy frameworks. There will be a special focus on what these changes mean for veterans and Indigenous Peoples. \nThis webinar is part of a series of events organized by the RAND Epstein Family Veterans Policy Research Institute to explore pressing policy challenges affecting veterans\, their families\, and their communities. It is cohosted with the RAND Drug Policy Research Center which conducts research to help decisionmakers in the United States and abroad address issues involving alcohol and other drugs. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nModerator\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMichelle Priest (she/her) is an assistant policy researcher at RAND and a Ph.D. candidate at the Pardee RAND Graduate School.

Her research focuses on policymaking for emerging industries\, including ethics in technology development\, equity issues in the regulation of cannabis\, and public safety related to psychedelic substances. She is a coauthor of RAND’s new report\, Considering Alternatives to Psychedelic Drug Prohibition. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFeatured Speakers\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n  \nBeau Kilmer (he/him) is codirector of the RAND Drug Policy Research Center and a senior policy researcher at RAND.

SUMMARY:Training on Assessment of PTSD and Suicide Risk Management in Veterans
DESCRIPTION:This training is funded by the PTSD Consultation Program at VA’s National Center for PTSD and presented in collaboration with VA’s Suicide Risk Management Consultation Program and the Center for Deployment Psychology. \nSummary:\nCultural competence for clinicians working with Veterans and Service members includes developing familiarity with unique aspects of military culture that impact clinical care as well as common clinical issues faced by these populations. Accurate and comprehensive assessment of PTSD and suicide risk is important for developing effective treatment plans for Veterans and Service members. This two-day workshop aims to introduce participants to military culture and help them develop skills in assessing for two important clinical issues: post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and suicide risk. \nDay One\nAn overview of military culture will be provided including basics about its history\, organizational structure\, core values\, branches of the service\, mission and operations\, as well as the differences between the active and reserve components. Participants acquire greater competency in working with Service members and Veterans by learning military culture and terminology\, and by discussing how aspects of the military culture impact behaviors and perspectives. The remainder of day one will review a method for screening\, assessment\, and treatment outcome monitoring of Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) centered on the use of the PTSD Checklist for DSM-5 (PCL-5). Participants will be introduced to VA/DOD best practices for diagnosing military-related PTSD including screening for trauma-related disorders\, obtaining thorough military and trauma histories\, conducting a semi-structured diagnostic interview\, and using self-report measures to track treatment outcome. Interactive exercises and video demonstrations will be used to help develop participants’ PTSD assessment skills. \nDay Two\nVeteran suicide remains a significant public health concern\, with those diagnosed with PTSD at potentially elevated risk. Clinicians with the VA Suicide Risk Management Consultation Program will review risk factors and discuss empirically-supported best practices for suicide assessment\, prevention\, and intervention with Veterans\, including lethal means safety counseling and collaborative safety planning. \nTarget Audience: \nLicensed behavioral health providers who regularly treat U.S. Veterans (or who intend to treat U.S. Veterans) in the community can apply. This training is not intended for behavioral healthcare providers currently working in VA or DoD settings. \nContinuing Education Details:\nFor specific information on the number and availablity of Continuing Education credits\, please read the CE advertising memo here. Please send customer service requests to cds_support+cdp@affinityced.com. \nLearning Objectives:\nAttendees will be able to: \n\nCharacterize the structure and major components of the United States military.\nAnalyze common characteristics of the military population and how they compare to the general population.\nSubstantiate the importance of a distinct culture to the military.\nAppraise elements of the military experience and lifestyle that are integral to military culture.\nApply the VA/DOD Guidelines for the Assessment of Trauma and PTSD.\nDiscriminate between symptoms of PTSD and other disorders based on the DSM-5.\nFacilitate the screening\, diagnostic assessment\, and tracking of treatment outcomes in PTSD patients using the PTSD Checklist for DSM-5 (PCL-5).\nCommunicate results of diagnostic assessments as well as treatment outcome measures to clients to facilitate effective treatment.\nApply suicide risk identification methods\, including identifying warning signs\, predictive analytics\, and screening.\nConduct a comprehensive suicide clinical risk assessment to include a review of assessment goals\, suicidal ideation\, and history of suicide\, and identification of warning signs and both risk and protective factors for suicide.\nUtilize the results of a suicide clinical risk assessment to develop a suicide risk formulation.\nProvide recommendations for the documentation of suicide risk based on the outcomes of the suicide clinical risk assessment.\nDifferentiate between acute and chronic suicide risk and descriptors for low\, intermediate\, and high-risk status.\nJustify the use of lethal means safety counseling as a best practice for suicide risk management.\nApply the recommended methods for lethal means safety counseling for firearms\, medications\, and other environmental risks to US Veterans.\nCollaboratively develop and utilize an effective safety plan to mitigate suicide risk.\n\nApplication Information: \nApplications can be completed through the Eventbrite system. All initial applicants will be waitlisted until the application is vetted through the CDP/VA Project Managers. Applicants will be notified by email of the decision within approximately two weeks of the application. \nCost/Refunds:\nZero cost\, no refund policy \nOnline Via Zoom \n14-15 August 2024\, 10:00 – 18:30 Eastern time – Click Here for Registration! \nSpecial Accommodations:\nIf you require special accommodations due to a disability\, please contact Micah Norgard at micah.salas.ctr@usuhs.edu at least two weeks prior to the training so that we may provide you with appropriate service. \nPresenters\nKevin Holloway\, Ph.D.\, is a licensed clinical psychologist working as the Director\, Training and Education at the Center for Deployment Psychology (CDP) at the Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences in Bethesda\, Maryland.

SUMMARY:Integrating Spiritual Supports for Veterans
DESCRIPTION:Wednesday August 21\, 2024: 1:00 – 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: Multidisciplinary staff serving Veterans at risk of homelessness or experiencing homelessness. Participants may include but are not limited to physicians\, nurses\, psychologists\, social workers\, counselors\, case managers\, housing specialists\, peer specialists\, occupational therapists\, team leaders\, supervisors\, addiction specialists\, and Network Homeless Coordinators. \nModality:  Virtual conference (webinar) \nCredit/hours:  1 \nAccreditations:  ACCME\, ACCME-NP\, ANCC\, AOTA\, APA\, ASWB\, NBCC\, ADA\, NYSED\, SW\, CRCC \nOverview:\nOffering Veterans spiritual support could tackle a number of risk factors impeding health and well-being post-homelessness. Spirituality\, as defined by Veteran Health Administration’s (VHA) Whole Health model of care\, entails an individual’s search for meaning or purpose in something (e.g.\, an entity or experience) larger than oneself; it encompasses but is not wholly defined by formal religion. Supporting spirituality may counter mental health conditions and substance use which are notable risk factors for homeless status. \nThis webinar will review findings from a VHA quality improvement project conducted across HUD-VASH programs in New England; findings suggested that enhancing efforts to offer spiritual support within these programs would better address the needs of Veterans who desire such support. \nLearning Objectives:\nAt the conclusion of this educational session\, learners will be able to: \n\nDescribe the spiritual support preferences that exist among Veterans in New England’s HUD-VASH system.\nExplain barriers to offering spiritual support that may be present within New England’s HUD-VASH system.\nIdentify strategies to create opportunities for how HUD-VASH could best offer spiritual support through collaborative efforts.\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 TMS 131013225 Integrating Spiritual Supports for Veterans in HUD-VASH: An Evaluation \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 todays 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\nFor questions with TMS/TRAIN registration\, please contact clarice.lewis@va.gov or lee.furry@va.gov

SUMMARY:Tobacco\, Nicotine and PTSD
DESCRIPTION:Tobacco\, Nicotine and PTSD\nWednesday\, August 21 at 2 pm ET \nRegister online \nTobacco use\, and cigarette smoking in particular\, is the leading cause of preventable death in the United States. There have been significant declines in cigarette use in the general and Veteran populations\, however the prevalence of tobacco use remains relatively high\, especially in particular health disparity subgroups\, such as veterans with PTSD. While it is well known that tobacco cessation can reduce the risk for adverse effects on physical health\, evidence also indicates that tobacco use exacerbates symptoms of PTSD and smoking cessation reduces symptoms of depression and anxiety. Although VA providers who treat PTSD commonly encounter tobacco users\, many feel they do not have adequate skills to provide behavioral counseling to assist with cessation efforts. As such\, tobacco use is often not addressed and/or evidence based intervention elements are not provided\, representing missed opportunities to address this critical health behavior. Tobacco cessation treatment training is not routinely provided\, either in the context of professional training or within healthcare facilities. Teaching providers basic tenets of behavioral counseling for treating tobacco dependence will increase confidence in and likelihood of addressing patient tobacco use behaviors. To this end this presentation will provide education regarding the effective elements of brief behavioral counseling for treatment of tobacco dependence. \nAbout the Presenter\nMARK MYERS\, PhD is a clinical psychologist at the Veterans Affairs San Diego Healthcare System where he serves as the Lead Tobacco Cessation Clinician\, having provided tobacco treatment to Veterans for over 25 years. Dr. Myers is also Deputy Director of the VA National Tobacco Cessation Clinical Resource Center\, under the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs Office of Tobacco & Health\, engaged in program development\, consultation and tobacco treatment training across the VA system. He is a professor in the Department of Psychiatry at University of California\, San Diego and has been involved in tobacco use and treatment research throughout his career.
