Participants ended this workshop with a clear framework for understanding the roles oppression-based trauma and culturally-centered resilience play in the lives of Latinx who are impacted by substance use. Spanning two decades of research, trauma-informed (T-I) practice is seen as a new frontier in behavioral health and social services (National Council for Behavioral Health, n.d.). Where trauma analysis regularly attends to impact of emotional trauma on individuals and its correlation with risk for substance use, less is understood regarding cumulative, cultural, and collective forms of trauma on Latinx individuals and communities, including immigration and acculturation traumas. These gaps are worthy of exploration given an emerging body of knowledge which evidences microaggressions (Nadal, 2018), racism (Williams, Metzger, Leins,& DeLapp, 2018), sexism (Kucharska, 2018), and homophobia (Goodwin, 2014) as correlated with risk for emotional trauma. Finally, culturally-rooted resilience and resistance are vital in the process of healing from substance use and are rarely addressed.

  ‘You Got This’: Maintaining Recovery during the Holidays 12/19/2019 For many individuals in recovery from substance use disorders (SUDs), the holidays are filled with high-risk situations. This episode provides science-informed advice to assist individuals, as well as spouses/partners, family members, and friends, to prepare for holiday situations that may be recovery-aversive and includes: a brief review of the definitions of recovery, recovery benchmarks, and high-risk situations to establish a common language regarding recovery support; the Five G’s,  which are tips that can be used to manage recovery-averse situations; and a discussion of tools/activities that can be applied in real-life situations. Most importantly, the overall theme of this episode is to provide encouragement that, by doing some preparation, maintaining recovery during the holidays can be navigated and managed.

Studies show that racial discrimination influences clinical decision-making and affects clinician-patient interactions.Implicit racial bias is associated with reduced trust in physicians, decreased likelihood to follow treatment recommendations and lower satisfaction with care received among African-American adults suffering from chronic disease.  Racial discrimination can play a foundational role in worsening African-American retention in substance abuse treatment by aggravating factors such as those listed below: • BARRIERS TO TREATMENT • LACK OF ACCESS TO NEEDED ANCILLARY SERVICES • LOW SATISFACTION WITH TREATMENT

Description: Treatment providers and program evaluators use patient placement criteria to ensure that clients are placed in the appropriate level of care. This webinar will provide an overview of The American Society of Addiction Medicine (ASAM) Criteria, 3rd Edition for clients with substance use and co-occurring disorders. Participants will learn to appropriately apply the admission, continued service and transfer/discharge criteria for adolescents and adults. The ASAM Criteria utilizes six dimensions to form a broad assessment, which in turn provides information for service and treatment planning across all levels of care. Participants will learn to assess mild, moderate, and severe effects of substance use on each dimension as it relates to placement criteria.

The purpose of this introductory training is to provide HIV clinicians (including, but not limited to physicians, dentists, nurses, and other allied medical staff, therapists and social workers, and counselors, specialists, and case managers) with a detailed overview of alcohol abuse and the behavioral and medical approaches for treating individuals with an alcohol use disorder. The introductory training (which was initially developed in 2012) has been updated, and includes a 126-slide PowerPoint presentation, Trainer Guide, and a companion 2-page fact sheet. The duration of the training is approximately 3 hours, if the trainer chooses to present all of the slides. The training duration can be shortened slightly by eliminating select slides. For example, slides 50-58 represent a general introduction of HIV/AIDS, and can be eliminated if your audience already has a broad knowledge base with regards to HIV/AIDS education.  “Test Your Knowledge” questions have been inserted at the beginning and end of the presentation to assess a change in the audience’s level knowledge after the key content has been presented. An answer key is provided in the Trainer’s notes for slides 7-11 and slides 121-125. Poll Everywhere, or a similar audience polling system can be utilized, if available, when facilitating the Test Your Knowledge question sessions. For more information, visit: https://www.polleverywhere.com/.  In addition, a series of case studies (slide 74 and slide 115) and additional questions (slides 96-99) have been inserted throughout the presentation to encourage dialogue among the training participants, and to illustrate how the information presented can be used clinically. 

In this webinar sponsored by the Northwest ATTC, Lydia Bartholow, DNP, PMHNP, CARN-AP investigated the connection between psychological trauma and substance use disorders, the neurobiological adaptations that arise in response to trauma, and the ways in which these same adaptations make one vulnerable to developing a substance use disorder. Viewers also learned about the relevance and importance of pharmacotherapies for treatment of substance use disorders in those with a history of trauma, and how to apply trauma-informed practices to common clinical scenarios.

This presentation gives an overview of the mental health training provided by the South Africa HIV ATTC to our partner organisations. It was presented at the 3rd Annual Advisory Board and Strategic Planning Meeting by the ATTC's Programme Manager, Nurain Tisaker. The mental health training offered by the South Africa HIV ATTC is tailored for use by non-specialist providers of health care working with individuals and communities in HIV burdened areas in the primary health care setting of South Africa. The training emerged as a result of the need to improve adherence to ARVs within these communities, in recognising that mental health concerns may influence treatment adherence. The purpose is to train non-specialist providers to recognise, detect and refer patients with possible mental health conditions before it further impacts on the patients’ functioning.
