Webinar/Virtual TrainingOther
Date: January 21st to March 4th, Every Tuesday from 11:00am to 12:30pm CT
Facilitators: The SSW ATTC has partnered with NFARtec to offer this amazing opportunity. The facilitator for this EPL will be Christina Boyd, LSCSW, LCAC.
Description:
The importance of identifying and addressing mental health issues in a substance use disorder treatment setting is essential to improving the overall outcomes for participants. Initiating early detection and intervention for those that have a co-occurring disorder is crucial and we now know that treatment works best if we are addressing both the substance use AND the mental health disorder during the treatment process. According to SAMHSA, the most effective dual diagnosis regimen treats both the mental illness and substance issues at the same time. This online learning series will provide 15 hours of instruction and will include blended activities of virtual online groups and self-study related to understanding and integrating Mental Health Disorder knowledge into the provision of Substance Use Disorder treatment. This will include interactive discussions, videos, performance based feedback, articles, and activities.
What is an Enhanced Professional Learning Series?
An EPL is an online interactive training and consultation series designed to encourage workplace learning. EPLs use current technologies and instructional/consultation activities to provide real-time skill-based learning and practice through group and self-study activities, reading assignments, and discussions. The main goal of an EPL is to build a community of practice where all participants actively engage with other professionals and consultants.

Description:
Working in family services can be very satisfying and the field includes dedicated empathetic staff committed to their craft. The other side of the job brings pressures and stress that can increase susceptibility to exhaustion leading to compassion fatigue and other occupational hazards. The consequent effects can also decrease the provider’s emotional and physical wellbeing, negatively impacting the interactions with families and the quality of services provided.
This interactive training will identify and define often elusive work-related conditions and self-assessment tools. Further, the training will offer practical strategies for self-care and building resiliency.

Virtual TA Session
Marginalized communities including, but not limited to, Black, Indigenous, and LGBTQIA are adversely affected by substance use disorders and recent data proves those same communities have more barriers to treatment. So how do we as providers use a person-centered approach that embraces cultural humility ensuring that folks from all walks of life get the SUD recovery support they so richly deserve?
In this conversational and peer-lead workshop, we will dive deeper into those inequities and discuss how CLAS (Culturally and Linguistically Appropriate Services) standards can help us infuse our practice and organizations with cultural humility.
Facilitated sessions for WORKFORCE PROFESSIONALS will help you to:
Take a deeper look at how BIPOC, LGBTQIA, disabled and non-English speaking populations are adversely affected by substance use disorders
Use the CLAS (Culturally and Linguistically Appropriate Services) self-assessment tool to identify your needs around cultural inclusivity as well as your strengths and weaknesses.
Identify specific barriers to treatment for marginalized communities and become familiar with tools that can be used to incorporate CLAS standards in your practice or agency.
Help you write a new culturally responsive mission statement to better serve your SUD clients from diverse backgrounds while embracing a future as a provider with cultural humility.
Free to register. Certificate of Attendance available upon completion of this virtual training.

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 5 (Training Session): SUDs Treatment for Women with Children
This 2-hour training session will introduce participants to the emotional, physical, and socioeconomic factors that uniquely impact women during treatment, and especially how these factors relate to the treatment of SUDs for women with children.
Continuing Education
Participants who fully attend this series will be eligible to receive NAADAC-certified continuing education (CE) hours. CE certificates are distributed to qualifying participants via email within two weeks after the session.
