About the Training:
People in the helping profession must always be mindful of the ethical standards of their profession. Standards change from time to time; therefore, it is important to refresh on the commitments they are responsible for upholding as a professional. It is also our responsibility to be culturally compliant in the services we provide. Race, ethnicity, and cultural background may influence a client's identity and life circumstances. Other factors, such as gender and gender identity, sexual orientation, age, socioeconomic status, religion, and ability may also play into the context of a given client's mental health, and relational or personal issues.
This course blends didactic material with interactive and small group exercises to help understand your ethical responsibility while delivering services to diverse communities. We will review relevant ethical standards, discuss common issues and missteps, and give you opportunities to test your knowledge.
Training Objectives:
• Define the concept of ethics and how it applies to working with and delivering series to diverse populations, within the helping profession.
• Gain an understanding of the need for ethical cultural competency.
• Define how drug policies have harmed minority communities and why that is important to understand when treating people with substance use disorder.
• Identify steps in a process for ethical decision-making.

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).

The Take 10! Transforming Care for Women with Substance Use Disorders (SUDs) and their Families series discusses current issues and challenges confronted by diverse women presenting with substance use, SUDs, and who are in recovery. 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 gender-specific services.
Session 2: Substance Use Disorder in Women - History, Use, and Treatment
Women experience SUD in ways that are distinct from men. Historically, access to treatment for women has been limited, a disparity that persists today. This 2-hour workshop will explore the emotional, physical, and socioeconomic factors that uniquely impact women before, during, and after treatment. Attendees will gain insights into women-specific challenges and considerations for clinicians, behavioral health professionals, peers, law enforcement, and family members.
SESSION LEARNING OBJECTIVES:
Understand the history of women’s treatment and current approaches to women-centered care, with a focus on differences compared to treatment for men
Identify up to five key emotional and physical experiences that are unique to women with SUD
Recognize two common ways in which women with SUD are stigmatized
Explore trauma-informed care strategies to enhance quality of care and increase access for female clients
Apply evidence-based practices that are particularly effective in women’s treatment setting

Introductory Session: Substance Use Disorder in Women - History, Use, and Treatment
Substance use disorder (SUD) is a biopsychosocial disease that impacts women differently than men. Understanding and implementing gender-specific treatment approaches are crucial for effective care. Historically, women have had less access to treatment, a disparity that continues today. Stigma remains a significant barrier both for women seeking treatment and for providers offering care. This workshop will illuminate the emotional and physical differences women experience compared to men before, during, and after treatment. Additionally, it will address how socioeconomic factors can significantly affect a woman's ability to achieve long-term sobriety. The presentation will highlight common women-specific treatment issues and considerations for clinicians, behavioral health professionals, peers, law enforcement, family members, and other stakeholders.

DESCRIPTION
In 2022, over 150,000 people were in the custody of jails and prisons in the Central East Region (DE, MD, PA, VA, WV, and DC).1 Among those detained or incarcerated, over 15% had an opioid use disorder (OUD), compared to 1.9% to 3.6% of each jurisdictions’ general population.2,3 Despite a clear need, there are significant barriers to receiving treatment services in correctional settings – especially for medications for OUD (MOUD). Expanding access to MOUD can reduce illicit opioid use, prevent overdose, and help people stay in treatment after returning to the community.4

As public support and acceptance of sexual and gender minority (SGM) people has grown, more and more facets of the community have begun to disclose their identities publicly.

This webinar will introduce a variety of current identifying terms using real-world examples, explore the reasons behind SGM individuals’ varying levels of disclosure, and prepare providers to confidently engage with these emerging identities.

DESCRIPTION
Microaggressions are subtle expressions that create barriers to recovery and discourage help-seeking. These can manifest as internalized stigma, verbal comments, behavioral actions, or environmental cues. Types include self/internalized microaggressions, like thoughts such as “It’s all my fault”; verbal microaggressions, such as “They brought this upon themselves”; behavioral microaggressions, where individuals receive differential treatment; and environmental microaggressions, characterized by a lack of representation and recovery resources. Cultural awareness is vital in addressing stigma, as beliefs about addiction significantly influence attitudes toward help-seeking. Different cultures may hold varied perspectives on substance use disorders and recovery approaches, affecting individuals' willingness to engage in treatment. To combat stigma, a multifaceted approach is needed: community collaboration, culturally relevant practices, public awareness campaigns, and promoting empathy. By embracing these strategies, communities can mitigate the effects of stigma microaggressions and foster environments that support recovery and social integration.

Demonstrations, practice opportunities and feedback will be used to illustrate the practical application of this effective engagement/conversation strategy.
