SUMMARY:ATTC & CTN Webinar: The Effectiveness and Utility of Telebehavioral (Telehealth) Services
DESCRIPTION:Presented by: Nancy A. Roget\, MS\, MFT\, LADC and Maryellen Evers\, LCSW\, CAADAC\, CMFSW \nThe uptake in the use of telebehavioral services since the start of the Public Health Emergency (PHE) has been swift and is significantly transforming how behavioral health services are delivered. This is encouraging\, as the research base for assessing and treating mental health conditions virtually is extensive and over 60 years old. However\, for substance use disorders (SUDs)\, the research is less extensive and more recent. Mental health and SUD treatment services provided virtually are effective and serve as viable alternatives to in-person service delivery. Patients confirm high levels of satisfaction with telebehavioral health\, while practitioners report more reluctance. Nonetheless\, training has been shown to build practitioners’ skills\, confidence\, and competency. Using technology to facilitate clinical or recovery support sessions requires clinicians and peer support specialists to simulate real-time experiences (Hilty\, 2002) that promote a therapeutic alliance (treatment) or connection (peer support). However\, virtual service delivery requires some careful modification of the clinicians’ or peer support specialists’ skills to ensure engagement occurs and positive working relationships are developed. This webinar will include a brief review of: telebehavioral health research and its efficacy; strategies that promote skill development; how to create a virtual presence; resources related to guidelines and tips; and comments regarding hybrid service delivery. \nSponsored by the Northwest & Pacific Southwest ATTCs and the Western States Node of the Clinical Trials Network. \nFor information regarding CME and CE credits\, visit https://attcnetwork.org/centers/northwest-attc/event/effectiveness-and-utility-telebehavioral-telehealth-services-webinar \n\n\n\nRegistration information: Click here\n\n\n

SUMMARY:Rutgers SSW Webinar: The Opioid Crisis in NJ - Current Trends and Evidence-Based Treatment Options
DESCRIPTION:This interactive webinar will discuss the latest developments and trends regarding natural opiates\, semi-synthetic opioids\, and synthetic opioids. Participants will be able to identify national and local NJ trends with regards to prescribing practices and new legislation\, opioid overdoses and trends with opioid use. Participants will be able to distinguish the difference between which drugs are considered naturally occurring opiates\, which are considered semi-synthetic opioids and which are considered synthetic opioids. Participants will be introduced into the assessment of and treatment of Opioid Use Disorders via the DSM 5 criteria\, the latest nationally recognized medicated assisted treatment and the non-medication assisted treatment approaches when working with clients. Participants will be able to identify three different medicated assisted treatments (MAT)\, and discussion of medicinal marijuana being added as an MAT option. Webinar participants will be introduced to a harm reduction treatment paradigm and will be able to identify at least 3 different harm reduction principles when working with clients. Finally\, participants will engage in an interactive case that will develop throughout the webinar and have different objectives (e.g.\, assessing a proper level of care\, and then incorporating a harm reduction treatment orientation with the client in regards to their MAT decision process). [This webinar will complete your prescription opioid social work license requirement] \nInstructor: Glenn Duncan\, LPC\, LCADC\, CCS\, ACS\nDate: Monday\, November 7\, 2022\nTime: 9:30 am – 12:30 pm ET\nLocation: Zoom (Interactive Webinar)

SUMMARY:IRAS Webinar: Spiritual Experience - For Real - For You - For the Future
DESCRIPTION:IRAS Webinar Series\nScience\, Religion & Society: An Online Series\nNovember 14\, 2022\, at ​5:00 PM Eastern time\n Spiritual Experience: For REAL — For YOU — For the FUTURE  with Dr.  Calvin Chatlos \nRegister for November 14 Webinar \nhttps://www.iras.org/webinar-series.html \n  \nPresentation Overview:\nSpiritual experience is for REAL. A science-based explanation of our capacity for real spiritual experience will be explained along with a specific process for its promotion. The important role of experiences of worth and dignity will be highlighted. It is for YOU. The capacity for spiritual experience is wired into our brains and available to all open to it. Details about the personal process available for its access\, a description of its characteristics and opportunities\, and an explanation for why it cannot be experienced initially by reason and understanding will be reviewed. It is critical for our FUTURE. Einstein’s quote\, “We cannot solve our problems with the same thinking we used when we created them\,” now has a response. The creativity that opens with spiritual experience provides an incredibly powerful new way of thinking. This is a webinar not to be missed! \n​About the November 14th presenter:\nDr. Chatlos is a Professor of Psychiatry at Rutgers University\, New Jersey\, USA\, Board Certified in Child & Adolescent and Addiction Psychiatry\, where he incorporates spiritual principles in recovery from addiction and trauma. He graduated from Washington University\, St. Louis\, and the University of Maryland School of Medicine. He received specialty training at Montefiore Hospital\, New York University-Bellevue Psychiatric Hospital\, and Columbia-Presbyterian Medical Center. He is a graduate of the Humanist Institute\, NYC\, a long-time member of the Society for Ethical Culture\, Unitarian Universalist Congregation of Monmouth County (UUCMC)\, and a board member of the United Religions Initiative (URI) Cooperation Circle of the Monmouth Center for World Religions and Ethical Thought (MCWRET)\, and a Council member of IRAS. He is the developer of the “Human Faith Project\,” focused on the role of self-worth and dignity in opening a universal core of religious/spiritual experience and its empowerment of creativity. He is now engaged explicitly in research exploring the nature of spiritual experience.\n​

The meeting agenda is attached to this email and Zoom information is provided below. You are invited to join the meeting and attend a presentation by Dr. Leopoldo J. Cabassa. He will be presenting “Building Bridges Between Implementation Science and Health Equity Research.” This talk will present strategies and ways to infuse equity approaches into implementation science studies to proactively address healthcare inequities in historically marginalized populations.  \n Leopoldo J. Cabassa\, Ph.D.\, M.S.W. is a Puerto Rican social worker. He is a Professor\, Director of the Social Work PhD Program\, and Co-Director of the Center for Mental Health Services Research at the Brown School of Social Work at Washington University in St. Louis. His research centers on examining physical and mental health disparities in historically marginalized racial and ethnic populations with serious mental illness (SMI; e.g.\, schizophrenia\, major depression\, bipolar disorder). His work blends quantitative and qualitative methods\, health disparities research\, community engagement\, intervention research\, and implementation science. His research has been supported by the National Institute of Mental Health\, the New York State Office of Mental Health\, the National Institute on Minority Health and Health Disparities\, SAMHSA\, and the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation. Dr. Cabassa is a fellow of the Society for Social Work and Research and the American Academy of Social Work & Social Welfare. He is currently a member of the NIH Center for Scientific Review Advisory Board. His scholarship is making significant contributions in three areas: improving depression literacy and reducing stigma toward mental illness in the Latino community; 2) reducing physical health disparities in racial/ethnic minorities with SMI; and 3) improving the health and well-being of young adults experiencing first-episode psychosis.  \nWe hope you can join the meeting\, and feel free to share this meeting information across your Node.

SUMMARY:TRACC Webinar: Pathways to Recovery from Alcohol Use Disorder
DESCRIPTION:  \n \n \n  \nAbstinence from alcohol is often viewed as the most desirable and ideal outcome for individuals with alcohol use disorder. Yet\, most individuals with alcohol use disorder do not want to abstain from drinking and do not seek treatment. Over the past 20 years\, there have been several significant methodological advances in studying patterns and predictors of alcohol use and drinking reductions\, yet most of the work has not had a major influence on clinical practice. The current talk will provide a broad overview of this literature and present new data on the validity of World Health Organization drinking risk levels as a harm reduction endpoint. Results from several recent studies provide evidence that reductions in World Health Organization drinking risk levels are a viable alternative to abstinence as a public health and harm reduction strategy and as an endpoint for alcohol clinical trials. The talk will also highlight new perspectives and new empirical data examining non-abstinent recovery from alcohol use disorder. \nJoin via Zoom: https://ccny.zoom.us/j/86143686922
