On-the-Spot (OtS) is an online opportunity for Substance Use Disorders and Recovery Support Services providers to obtain real time input on a variety of behavioral health topics. OtS is an open, one-hour forum guided by participants' questions with responses provided by Mountain Plains ATTC consultants. The goal of OtS is to serve as another tool to increase knowledge, build skills, and change practice through the adoption of evidence-based practices and promising practices.
No registration is required to attend an OtS session. Participants are welcome to join anytime during the one-hour "hotline" forum and can join via phone, PC, or tablet. On-the-Spot is a discussion-based event, not a training or webinar. Continuing Education and/or certificates of attendance for OtS sessions are not available and OtS sessions will not be recorded.

A common approach in learning any complex skill is to work with experts assisting in the development of competencies.

Bring your questions and join in on the dialogue to increase MI knowledge and change clinical practice approaches through the utilization of an MI style of communication.

3rd Friday of every month, 11:00 am Mountain Time / 12:00 pm Central Time
Virtual service delivery in the substance use and mental health treatment fields is here to stay, according to Meurer-Lynn (2023) and other notable researchers (Aafies- van Doom, et al., 2023; Shore, 2021; etc.) As such, how to blend in-person and virtual service (hybrid) delivery becomes an important question. Hybrid service delivery is a mixture of in-person sessions with videoconferencing sessions and may include phone check-ins. Hybrid service delivery models are known for providing flexibility, especially to clients with access issues, such as clients living in rural areas or those with transportation issues. Join the online consultation session every third Friday of the month to ask questions and discuss/share hybrid service delivery tips for practitioners. Examples of topics that can be discussed are: how to determine the right combination/ratio of virtual and in-person sessions; leveraging in-person and virtual (video and phone) sessions; negotiating a schedule with clients that will increase engagement, attendance, and adherence to treatment; what clinicians and administrators need to consider when initiating hybrid delivery services (e.g., reimbursement, privacy/security issues, staffing, telephone policies).
