With games such as League of Legends, Fortnite, and Counter-Strike: Global Offensive, youth, and young adults are often competitors or viewers of these popular games through E-Sports tournaments. In addition, within the last few years, sports betting has become legal in 32 states. These activities are heavily advertised through billboards, television, pop-up computers, and cell phone ads. With the growth of video gaming and gambling activities in communities across America and online, how does it affect youth and young adults? Middle school, high school, and college students can be at risk of being negatively affected by gaming, gambling, and activities that include a mix of both in their daily lives. This webinar will discuss the prevalence and trends in youth gaming and gambling and the warning signs of problems with these activities.

Participants learn practical strategies for prioritizing their physical safety, enabling them to focus on the client’s situation. Our system further empowers staff to maintain their personal safety by emphasizing goal centric teamwork that provides emotional security to the client. As a result, clients often transform their energy of aggression into fuel for successful case plan completion. Whether taken as a series or an individual course, the goal is to help participants better partner with clients while ensuring their own personal safety.

Sustainability planning is an intentional process of looking critically at your current prevention infrastructure, processes, and strategies to develop the necessary resources to sustain meaningful prevention outcomes beyond current funding. Sustainability planning involves a series of concrete tasks to create feasible, ongoing support for essential components of your prevention work. Elements of sustainability planning include examining the impact of strategic planning processes, such as SAMSHA’s Strategic Prevention Framework (SPF) and interventions, priority setting, resource and feasibility analysis, communication planning, and resource and grant development. This learning series incorporates online consultation, skill-based learning and practice, self-study and reading assignments, group activities, and discussion designed to guide participants through five critical components of sustainability planning. Trainers will demonstrate how to use a set of tools to facilitate a sustainability process with community partners and will coach participants to set actionable steps and timelines to complete a plan over the next year.

More than just a number: how debunking diet culture can lead to a positive self-image
Submitted by wilsokl107 on Tue, 03/07/2023 - 14:58
The diet industry is a $72 billion industry. Our culture is obsessed with weight loss and idolizes thinness, often equating it to health, beauty and morality. This westernized view of "health" has contributed to the alarming number of eating disorders across the world, with more than 28 million Americans alone struggling. Health At Every Size ® (HAES) is a modern approach that challenges the "thin ideal" and offers an inclusive approach to the treatment and care of bodies at all sizes, providing insight into the idea that health is more than just a number. This webinar will explore diet culture’s influence on the healthcare industry today and how that influence has led to bias and harm, especially for those in larger bodies. Attendees will learn how to use the principles of HAES to identify their own biases around health and break down cultural stereotypes to move towards self-healing and body acceptance.

Sustainability planning is an intentional process of looking critically at your current prevention infrastructure, processes, and strategies to develop the necessary resources to sustain meaningful prevention outcomes beyond current funding. Sustainability planning involves a series of concrete tasks to create feasible, ongoing support for essential components of your prevention work. Elements of sustainability planning include examining the impact of strategic planning processes, such as SAMSHA’s Strategic Prevention Framework (SPF) and interventions, priority setting, resource and feasibility analysis, communication planning, and resource and grant development. This learning series incorporates online consultation, skill-based learning and practice, self-study and reading assignments, group activities, and discussion designed to guide participants through five critical components of sustainability planning. Trainers will demonstrate how to use a set of tools to facilitate a sustainability process with community partners and will coach participants to set actionable steps and timelines to complete a plan over the next year.

Culture is a part of every interaction a clinical supervisor has with their supervisees, clients and other staff at their agencies. The leadership role that a clinical supervisor plays demands that they feel confident in their skills navigating cultural discussions. This includes working with staff to develop their skills in cultural humility and awareness.
Clinical supervisors in training regularly report that having more representative video examples of supervisor skills would be useful. In response to this feedback the Northwest ATTC has created the Clinical Supervision Skills Video Demonstrations series which demonstrates examples of a supervisor working with a supervisee on culturally related issues in their professional development.
For this webinar, hosted by the Northwest ATTC, two of the creators of these video demonstrations, Paul Hunziker and Lynsey Parrish-Dearth, will discuss how they incorporated cultural skills-building into the demonstration. Paul and Lynsey also co-teach a tribe focused clinical supervision skills training. During the webinar they will also discuss implications for training supervisors working in tribe-based settings.

This session will review the current state of knowledge about child and adolescent brain development and implications for pathways to risky behavior, such as substance abuse. The focus will be on three key areas where science can be our guide. First, how do social conditions--such as toxic stress associated with adverse childhood experiences--impact brain development and the consequences for future health and behavior? Second, what remedies have been developed that move us upstream to “turn off the trauma tap” and, in effect, prevent pathways to substance abuse, sexual risk behaviors and HIV infection? And third, how does the use of substances impact brain architecture and subsequent behavior to further entrench negative pathways. Such knowledge and the best practices prevention science has generated are instructive in guiding us to more effectively target interventions and policy solutions. In closing, we will discuss some promising trends and ongoing concerns that can be addressed via further investments in prevention. Event objectives:
Dr. Diana [aka Denni] Fishbein, is a senior scientist and Director of Translational Neuro-Prevention Research in the FPG Child Development Institute at University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill. She is also part-time research faculty at The Pennsylvania State University. Dr. Fishbein’s research supports the premise that underlying neurobiological mechanisms interact with the quality of our psychosocial experiences and environmental contexts to alter trajectories either towards or away from risk behaviors and that compensatory mechanisms can be strengthened with targeted interventions. She serves in an advisory capacity for federal and state government bodies as well as several universities and organizations. Given the inherent translational nature of this research, she founded and directs the National Prevention Science Coalition to Improve Lives (NPSC), a national organization dedicated to the transfer of knowledge from the basic sciences to practices in real-world settings and public health policies. Through dissemination and advocacy, she actively informs the decision-making of federal and state-level policymakers and agency administrators about the value and utility of prevention science to increase uptake of best practices.

Sustainability planning is an intentional process of looking critically at your current prevention infrastructure, processes, and strategies to develop the necessary resources to sustain meaningful prevention outcomes beyond current funding. Sustainability planning involves a series of concrete tasks to create feasible, ongoing support for essential components of your prevention work. Elements of sustainability planning include examining the impact of strategic planning processes, such as SAMSHA’s Strategic Prevention Framework (SPF) and interventions, priority setting, resource and feasibility analysis, communication planning, and resource and grant development. This learning series incorporates online consultation, skill-based learning and practice, self-study and reading assignments, group activities, and discussion designed to guide participants through five critical components of sustainability planning. Trainers will demonstrate how to use a set of tools to facilitate a sustainability process with community partners and will coach participants to set actionable steps and timelines to complete a plan over the next year.

Laura Stack’s 19-year-old son, Johnny, died by suicide on November 20, 2019, after using high-THC marijuana concentrates and experiencing a psychotic episode in their home state of Colorado. Soon afterward, Laura started a nonprofit to help educate parents and teens about the potential dangers of youth marijuana use. Before marijuana, Johnny was a computer whiz with a 4.0 GPA and a perfect math score on the SAT. Three days before his death, Johnny issued his own warning about how using marijuana had ruined his mind and his life. Through her upcoming presentation, Stack hopes to help teens understand how marijuana can harm them.
The public is invited to attend the free presentation located at CB Tech on March 30, 2023, at 6:00 pm. For those who would like the option to listen in virtually, they can sign up at https://bit.ly/JohnnysAmbassador. The presentation is free and will have translation available in Spanish and Russian.

Difficult conversations with staff
Difficult conversations with staff
Submitted by wilsokl107 on Tue, 03/07/2023 - 15:04
We avoid difficult conversations because we don’t feel prepared for them. It makes sense to avoid something that’s difficult, but the delay could mean the problem situation growing rather than going away. In this session we review steps to make a potentially difficult conversation with a supervisee go according to plan with a direction, and desired outcomes.
