The National Alliance on Mental Illness recognizes that current environmental factors are traumatizing people of color, which as a risk factor can also initiate or increase substance use and potentially developing trauma and stress complications. Provider bias in stigmatic language or other microaggressions affect a client’s capacity to respond to clinical interventions and are often identified in research, as components of poor behavioral health outcomes. Culturally responsive organizations integrate cultural humility in all levels of practice and serve delivery, providing highest levels of patient centered care and building equity with persons of color and other marginalized communities. This interactive virtual training will review how to integrate cultural humility within care, review culturally and linguistically appropriate services for organizational capacity building and opportunities for provider practice, and show how cultural responsiveness can increase patient wellness for racial and ethnic populations. This training was approved for two renewal hours (CASAC, CPP, CPS) and two initial hours (CPP, CPS) through New York State’s Office of Addiction Services and Supports (NYS OASAS). As an IC & RC member board, OASAS-accredited courses were granted reciprocal approval by the New Jersey Division of Consumer Affairs, Alcohol and Drug Counselor Committee. 

This webinar provided an overview of Cannabinoid Hyperemesis Syndrome (CHS), a constellation of intractable vomiting, abdominal pain, and hot bathing behavior that solely occurs in the context of certain heavy chronic use of THC-predominant cannabis, including synthetic cannabinoids. Whereas multiple etiological theories of its causation have been advanced (e.g., pesticide or neem exposure), these have been largely debunked. CHS is associated with frequent emergency department visits with high associated expense (about $90K USD). Considerable morbidity and even some fatalities have been reported. The definitive treatment is abstention from cannabis usage, but parenteral haloperidol and cutaneous application of capsaicin ointment can provide symptomatic relief. In this session, you will learn what CHS is, understand its pathophysiology and evidence for a genetic predisposition, learn how to differentiate CHS from cyclic vomiting syndrome and other differential diagnoses, and debunk spurious theories of CHS origins that are without scientific support.

  The Take 10! Transforming Care for Women with Substance Use Disorders (SUDs) and their Families series discusses current issues and challenges confronted by women presenting with substance use, SUDs, and who are in recovery. Women experience SUD in ways that are distinct from men. Studies show that when women begin treatment for SUDs, they frequently arrive with more severe medical, behavioral, psychological, and social struggles compared to men. For these reasons, there is a need for different treatment methods.   Series Learning Objectives This series will address: Best practices for treating women with SUDs in the United States, with a focus on the Midwest The link between trauma, substance use, and other co-morbidities in women Using trauma-informed approaches during treatment when appropriate Effective clinical strategies, interventions, and resources that help improve engagement, retention, and completion of treatment programs   Topic 7 (Overview Session): Considerations for Treating Women with SUDs Who Have Experienced Intimate Partner Violence (IPV) and Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) This 30-minute overview session will introduce participants to considerations for treating women with SUDs who have experienced IPV and/or TBI. When most people hear the terms “concussion” or “traumatic brain injury,” they think of football, military service, or unfortunate accidents. Fewer people are aware that brain injury can be caused by overdoses, head injuries while under the influence of substances, domestic violence (e.g., domestic, sexual), and strangulation or choking. Many clinicians are unaware of the role IPV can play in the lives of their clients, including how substance use and mental health coercion can affect one's overall health, including their needs and ability to participate when receiving behavioral health services. We lack awareness of the significant role TBI and IPV can play in a person’s recovery journey as well as accessing and successfully engaging with supports. We will discuss strategies to incorporate knowledge of IPV and TBI into behavioral health services so clients can continue to live the lives they deserve.    Session Learning Objectives:   Attendees will: Learn at least two tactics of substance use coercion   Identify at least two ways in which unidentified brain injuries can contribute to challenges accessing behavioral health services   Develop at least two strategies to integrate knowledge of IPV brain injury into behavioral health services     Trainers: Rachel Ramirez, LISW-S, RASS Cheryl Stahl, LPCC   The Great Lakes ATTC is offering this training for individuals working in HHS Region 5: IL, IN, MI, MN, OH, WI. This training is being provided in response to a need identified by Region 5 stakeholders.

January 2025 Presenter: Apoorva Mallya, Executive Director of Hepatitis Education Project (HEP) In the US, there are more than 3 million people infected with hepatitis C, a disease that has devastating impacts across the body and is a leading cause of liver cancer. Prevalence of hepatitis C is highest amongst people who currently use drugs or have in the past. At the same time, there is 98% effective cure available for hepatitis C that is simple to administer and has low side effects. With the development of this cure, the public health community has set its sights on elimination of hepatitis C, which would prevent cases and save lives for generations. However, reaching elimination would require a major increase in treatment, as less than 1/3rd of people diagnosed with hepatitis C have been treated. A broad group of providers and organizations, particularly those serving people who currently or formerly use drugs, will need to begin offering or expand hepatitis C services to their patients. Watch this webinar to learn more about hepatitis C and potential pathways to scale up hepatitis C services! Download slides | Watch the recording

Behavioral health and health care settings offer a spectrum of programs including substance use, mental health, and medical and recovery services. Professionals providing these supports use an array of competencies to empathize and assist persons with substance use and other psychosocial problems. Always focused on helping others, professionals can experience challenges in practicing self-care for themselves. This interactive workshop provides an opportunity for providers to review wellness practices and experience the benefits of intentional, micro-structured, self-care interventions.

When working with Hispanic and Latino populations, clear language should never be a linear process, particularly for a collectivist society that defines and interprets experiences within a cultural context. Latino values such as "machismo" and "personalismo" can be very insightful, but when defined and understood through an American perspective, we wonder why we feel a disconnect with the Hispanic client/patient we need to provide prevention services to. This interactive presentation will inform on Latino cultural nuances that can reframe communication for Hispanic individuals with substance use and/or mental health problems and discuss prevention strategies to support “recuperación” (recovery). This training was approved for four renewal hours (CASAC, CPP, CPS) and four initial hours (CPP, CPS) through New York State’s Office of Addiction Services and Supports (NYS OASAS).
