Numerous studies and research have shown the importance of working effectively with people with substance use disorders. It is paramount to use evidence-based models that have been scientifically proven effective.

  Mary McCarty-Arias, M.A. Research Project Manager Division of Substance Use Disorders New York State Psychiatric Institute Department of Psychiatry, Columbia University Medical Center Did you know that most codes of ethics include direction on self-care? It is the responsibility of the counselor to respond fully and be present for clients. Self-care enhances a counselor’s ability to do this. This course will review the definition of ethics and look at different codes of ethics (CASAC, NAADAC, CRC, and Social Work) and describe how self-care is important to maintain ethical practice.  

The New England ATTC, in partnership with the New England Association of Recovery Court Professionals (NEARCP), is continuing to offer a bi-monthly targeted technical assistance series for justice professionals to advance the treatment of persons with or at risk of substance use disorders involved in the justice system. These presentation slides are from the training session titled, "Complex Cases Facing Drug Courts" presented by Helen Harberts, M.A., J.D., and Brian Meyer, Ph.D., LCP, that took place on June 16th at 12PM EST. During this webinar, the panel discussed several actual cases from New England Drug Court Programs involving participants who have struggled with drug court program requirements and whose behavior has been especially challenging for the drug court team to manage and address successfully. Experts provided their recommendations on whether sanctions were appropriate, whether the team was considering all treatment options, and whether a termination was appropriate.

  New England ATTC team members Raymond Sanchez and Mika Salas have developed a new training, "Transitioning to Effective Online Training: Parts 1 – 3" in response to the COVID-19 pandemic requiring the workforce to transition to training virtually. This 3-part training is designed to help trainers use Zoom effectively to engage participants in virtual learning. It may be especially useful to ensure that trainings and technical assistance activities are accessible for individuals living in rural and underserved communities.  Part 1, “Getting to Know Zoom” is a pre-recorded session focused on basic to intermediate Zoom functions in order to build the foundational skills necessary to host, facilitate, and provide technical assistance for any virtual training, meeting, and/or conference. Part 2, “Advanced Zoom Functions and Best Practices” builds the specialized skills necessary to host and facilitate an engaging and secure virtual training. This training describes strategies, techniques, and resources to manage and engage participants in their ‘virtual classroom’ internal to Zoom. Part 3, “Engagement Strategies and Application” explores techniques and best practices to manage and engage participants in their virtual training sessions using both internal and external resources. Participants also have the opportunity to practice integrating these changes into their current curriculum. Due to the evolving nature of the Zoom platform, please note that these presentation slides are current as of May 26, 2021.  After this date, there may be updates to Zoom that are not reflected in these materials.  

Slides from the May 11, 2021 session, Native American Storytelling: Culture is Prevention. This session featured Robert Begay speaking on "Navajo Woman's Role and its Origin".

  Diana Padilla, RCR, CASAC-T Research Project Manager SBIRT Technical Assistance Division of Substance Use Disorders New York State Psychiatric Institute Department of Psychiatry, Columbia University Medical Center Karinn Glover, MD, MPH Assistant Professor of Psychiatry Albert Einstein College of Medicine Building off the psychological framework of unconscious bias as discussed in the first session, this second presentation will review and inform on how unconscious bias is reflected in words, communications, and relations toward persons of color through case scenarios reflecting its impact in the addiction, mental health, and prevention settings. The elusiveness of cognitive bias underscores provider assumptions and perceptions and affect judgment that lead to prejudice, micro-aggressions, and even discriminatory practices in care. The discussion will also identify commonly experienced pressures of personal and ‘on the job’ stress, and other bias risk factors that affect decision making, interactions and client/patient outcomes in behavioral health.

Despite notable efforts to address inequitable outcomes, research suggests that race and ethnicity are predictors of how services are delivered, and unconscious bias is one component that has been identified as influencing the provision of poor care. With the steady rise of the US population and the expected increase in communities of color, the need to address behavioral health disparities has never been more urgent. This first session of the four-part series will discuss how cognitive bias develops, how it is sustained by intrinsic and environmental factors, and how it contributes to inequitable outcomes for persons of color in behavioral health care.
