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. (June 12\, July 11\, Aug 8\, Sept 12\, Oct 11)\nRegister now to reserve your spot!

SUMMARY:SSW Webinar - Medical and Legal Marijuana in NJ: Practice and Policy Issues
DESCRIPTION:The goal of this interactive webinar is to identify the changes that have occurred in the NJ Medical Marijuana Program. The history of marijuana legalization and major events that have shaped this history are discussed. Known scientific research on the benefits of medical marijuana and the risks associated with marijuana usage are covered\, as well as the continued barriers to better scientific research on this topic. Interactive exercises are incorporated in order to have participants analyze child custody issues for clients who are on the NJ medical marijuana program. Other exercises include the participants discussing how treatment is impacted by medical marijuana and participants will analyze under what conditions there would be a “duty to report” a coworker on medical marijuana. \n\n\n\nInstructor: \nGlenn Duncan\, LPC\, LCADC\, CCS\, ACS\n\n\nDate: \nTuesday\, June 17\, 2025\n\n\nTime: \n9:30 am – 12:30 pm ET\n\n\nLocation: \nLive Interactive Online Webinar\n\n\n\nAt the conclusion of this webinar\, participants will be able to: \n\nInterpret three changes that have occurred since 2019 in the NJ Medicinal Marijuana Program\nDetermine the situations where the use of medicinal marijuana influence child custody issues\nAnalyze whether to continue services for a client on medicinal marijuana if their only diagnosis is cannabis use disorder\nIdentify at least three key historical events that shaped marijuana’s legal status in the United States
