JMU Substance Use Disorder Education Virtual Conference An inter-professional training in SUDE/SBIRT for faculty and community partners. Holly Ireland, LCSW-C, Co-Director of the Central East ATTC presented the presentation at the conference: Implementing SBIRT: Substance Use Disorders Education. This was a closed event.

  The current COVID-19 Public Health Emergency (PHE) epitomizes the importance for behavioral health professionals and peer support specialists to engage in self-care activities. However, many training and technical assistance (TA) requests from stakeholders focus more on skill-building activities and implementation support than self-care. As such, the Pacific Southwest (Region 9) ATTC, in collaboration with the ATTC Network Coordinating Office (NCO), created a brief PowerPoint presentation on self-care strategies. This presentation can be added to or plugged-in to the beginning, middle, or end of the presentation materials for any training/TA event.   The goal of the Plug-In model is to provide adult learners with useful tips on important topics in a brief format that can be easily added to other training/TA events. As one of the adult learning principles says… “adults are most interested in learning topics that have immediate relevance to their work and/or personal lives” (Center for Excellence in Educational Leadership and the Colorado Association of School Executives, 2013). This Self-Care Plug-In meets this principle. The Self-Care Plug-In may also be used by primary care, mental health, and substance use disorder (SUD) treatment and recovery program staff, namely clinical supervisors and program directors, during staff supervision or in-service sessions. The Self-Care Plug-In was developed in 2020 by the Pacific Southwest Addiction Technology Transfer Center (Pacific Southwest ATTC) in conjunction with the ATTC Network Coordinating Office. The main developers included Nancy Roget, MS, Joyce Hartje, PhD, and Beth Rutkowski, MPH, with additional guidance and editing support provided by Thomas E. Freese, PhD, and Laurie Krom, MS. Trainers, TA providers, clinical supervisors, and other program administrators can use all or a few of the slides depending on specific needs of the learners. Each slide contains notes for the presenter to provide guidance, as necessary. References are included for each slide, as are additional resources and additional articles for suggested reading.

This course will review some of the basics of pharmacology, which include:  routes of administration and discussion of terminology (tolerance, agonist, partial agonist, antagonist).  Understanding routes of administration of substances can help clinicians assess addiction potential and other health problems, and develop harm reduction strategies for those who work in harm reduction.  Knowing the difference between an agonist or antagonist or partial agonist will help people understand how some of the medication-assisted treatments work. Goal:  To review information on pharmacology   Objectives: Describe routes of administration for substances and discuss the pros and cons of each one Define the following terms:  tolerance (learning, metabolic, & cellular), cross-tolerance and cross-dependence, and synergism or potentiation State the definition of agonist, partial agonist, and antagonist drugs and how they apply to our work Agenda:  Module 1:  Routes of administration Module 2:  Terminology This (2-hour) webinar was provided under New York State Office of Addiction Services and Supports (OASAS) Education and Training.

These are handouts of the slides used in this session.

An abundance of research has pointed to poor treatment outcomes for people with co-occurring trauma and addiction. Traditional addiction treatment has ignored the significant impact of trauma on personal recovery and subsequently people have continued to struggle as a result. With recent advances in understanding the impact of trauma, it is time for a change in the approach taken toward trauma and addiction. This interactive and experiential presentation offers an overview of the impact of trauma on the recovery process from a social, biological, psychological, and spiritual perspective and will provide clinicians with skills to work with  people affected by trauma throughout their recovery, as well as, understanding the conceptual framework of trauma-informed practice.

While the prevalence of unintended pregnancies in the general population in the United States is roughly 50%, it is much higher among women with substance use disorder (SUD). Unintended pregnancy is associated with a wide range of negative outcomes for women, children, and their families. A paradigm shift in how reproductive/sexual health is conceptualized for women with SUD is needed. The presenters will focus on sexual health education, literacy and reproductive life planning.The slides focus on the following objectives. Identify the unique and common issues women who are pregnant or post-partum with SUD face in accessing and implementing reproductive life planning Identify ways stigma, discrimination and prejudice play a role in access and implementing reproductive life planning for women who are pregnant or post-partum with SUD. Examine the roles that trauma experiences and intimate partners play in access and implementing reproductive life planning for women who are pregnant or post-partum with SUD. Discuss how to have productive and engaging conversation with pregnant or post-partum women with SUD about sexual health and reproductive planning
