SUMMARY:NJHRC's Monthly Person-Centered Overdose Education & Naloxone Training
DESCRIPTION:Evidence shows that among the most likely to witness an overdose are people who use drugs\, care providers\, neighbors\, and loved ones – none of which are mutually exclusive\, and all of which may include you. NJHRC will be hosting monthly virtual Overdose Education & Naloxone training to learn how to identify and respond to an opioid overdose with rescue breaths\, naloxone\, and radical love. Our program will also cover the nuances surrounding current drug supply trends\, with updated information as overdose responses evolve in correlation. By centering the safety and autonomy of both the individual receiving care and the responder\, we can produce better outcomes for the community at large. \nJoin us for our next training to learn how to respond to an overdose and keep your community safer. \nAttendees in New Jersey can email mailing@njharmreduction.org or call/text 1-877-4NARCAN if they’d like to receive a free naloxone kit and/or other safer use supplies by mail. Conversations on drug policy and drug supply may be centered around New Jersey\, but you are welcome in this training no matter your location. \nThis virtual training will be held on Zoom on the second Friday of every month. (June 12\, July 11\, Aug 8\, Sept 12\, Oct 11)\nRegister now to reserve your spot!

SUMMARY:APF Webinar: Building Effective Public Health Communications Campaigns on Substance Use Treatment and Overdose Prevention
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a three-part webinar series that explores how to design and deliver effective public health communications campaigns related to addressing substance use disorders and overdose\, drawing directly from the experiences of the HEALing Communities Study (HCS)\, a multi-state\, community-driven effort to reduce overdose deaths in 66 communities across Kentucky\, Massachusetts\, New York\, and Ohio.  \n\n\nThe goals of the campaign were to: 1) increase acceptability and demand for evidence-based practices (EBPs) to treat opioid misuse\, opioid use disorder (OUD)\, and opioid overdose death; and 2) decrease stigma toward people who use opioids\, OUD\, and EBPs\, especially the use of medications for OUD. HCS coalitions successfully implemented four main distinct campaigns tailored to local needs\, which included campaigns that focused on: \n\n\n\n\nObtaining and carrying naloxone \n\n\nDecreasing MOUD stigma \n\n\nRaising awareness of MOUD treatment \n\n\nStaying in MOUD treatment \n\n\nBased on lessons learned from the HCS\, each session will offer practical guidance\, real-world case studies\, and actionable tools to help attendees prepare\, plan\, and sustain communications efforts in their community. Attendees will hear from HCS communications leaders about the implementation of the campaigns in the field and lessons learned along the way.\nFr more information\, click here.\n

SUMMARY:NJHRC's Monthly Person-Centered Overdose Education & Naloxone Training
DESCRIPTION:Evidence shows that among the most likely to witness an overdose are people who use drugs\, care providers\, neighbors\, and loved ones – none of which are mutually exclusive\, and all of which may include you. NJHRC will be hosting monthly virtual Overdose Education & Naloxone training to learn how to identify and respond to an opioid overdose with rescue breaths\, naloxone\, and radical love. Our program will also cover the nuances surrounding current drug supply trends\, with updated information as overdose responses evolve in correlation. By centering the safety and autonomy of both the individual receiving care and the responder\, we can produce better outcomes for the community at large. \nJoin us for our next training to learn how to respond to an overdose and keep your community safer. \nAttendees in New Jersey can email mailing@njharmreduction.org or call/text 1-877-4NARCAN if they’d like to receive a free naloxone kit and/or other safer use supplies by mail. Conversations on drug policy and drug supply may be centered around New Jersey\, but you are welcome in this training no matter your location. \nThis virtual training will be held on Zoom on the second Friday of every month. (May 9\, June 12\, July 11\, Aug 8\, Sept 12\, Oct 11)\nRegister now to reserve your spot!

SUMMARY:SSW Webinar - Addiction and Recovery: Where We Have Been\, Where We Are Going
DESCRIPTION:This course examines how the field of addiction treatment and recovery has evolved since the development of 12-step recovery spaces in the 1950’s\, from societal conceptualizations about addiction to how treatment and evidence-based practices have shaped what we now call clinical addiction treatment. Particular attention will be paid to how paradigms\, stigma\, and oppressive systems have influenced and shaped addiction and treatment trends. Participants will critically examine the successes and pitfalls of addiction treatment as it stands today\, including specific models and systems of recovery and what the field calls “evidence-based practices”. Special attention will be paid to how the fields of neuroscience\, epigenetics\, and neuropharmacology have informed what we know today about addiction\, and what it means for integrative recovery strategies moving forward. \n\n\n\nInstructor: \nKat Glick\, M.Ed\, LPC\, ACS\, MAC\, CSE\, CIMHP\n\n\nDate: \nTuesday\, May 6\, 2025\n\n\nTime: \n10:00 am – 1:00 pm ET\n\n\nLocation: \nLive Interactive Online Webinar
