Webinar: Alcohol prevention is suicide prevention: Understanding the associations between alcohol and suicide
Submitted by pennej107 on Tue, 04/06/2021 - 12:38
Heavy episodic (or “binge” drinking) is associated with higher reports of suicidal thoughts, making a suicide plan, and attempting suicide. Research has looked at distal risk factors (relatively stable characteristics/events leading up to suicidal behavior) and proximal risk factors (variables that increase risk in the moments before suicidal behavior). In this presentation, these factors will be reviewed, with a spotlight on how alcohol impacts judgment and decision making directly related to suicide. Studies that make the assertion that “alcohol prevention is suicide prevention” will be summarized, along with other associated variables. Implications for prevention and intervention will be discussed. Date and Time: May 5, 2021 - 10:00am to May 6, 2021 - 10:59am Location: Webinar Registration Link: |

Identifying the impacts of complex community work is often challenging due to the time lag between the work and the ultimate affects to the clients. Ripple Effects Mapping gives you the ability to tell your stories of the direct and indirect impacts of your work, while simultaneously being engaging and fun. It starts with appreciative inquiry interviews in small group settings, before leading a mapping process that involves storytelling in an online group setting. As participants share their experiences with the facilitator, their stories about the accomplishments, partnerships, and contributions are virtually mapped on the screen. At the conclusion, the participants will have a digital map that contains the learning, actions, and condition changes that happened as a result of a program, workshop series, or event.

More than ever before, the behavioral health services provided by community-based organizations (CBOs) that serve racially/ethnically diverse communities are essential to support the recovery and healing of the people most impacted by COVID-19. Current funding approaches are challenging to navigate. Oftentimes, it is even more difficult for CBOs that don’t have the infrastructure to respond to these opportunities to sustain their work. Foundations and government agencies are recognizing the importance of funding with flexibility so that CBOs can effectively serve racially/ethnically diverse communities. Funders are establishing relationships with CBOs to drive effective solutions for these communities, while also looking inward to implement changes in their practices and policies. This includes inviting CBOs to provide input on application processes, simplifying the criteria and fields in requests for proposals (RFPs), and ensuring a faster turnaround time to get funds to CBOs. Join this NNED Virtual Roundtable to consider new ways to tap into philanthropic and governmental funding to meet the behavioral health needs of racially/ethnically diverse communities. Behavioral health-focused CBOs will share how they are leveraging funding opportunities and their successful partnerships with funders — how they were created, cultivated, and grown before and during the pandemic.

When the COVID-19 pandemic first hit, lives changed almost overnight. What we originally thought was going to be just a few weeks turned into over a year of deep uncertainty, pain, and grief for many. As the world starts to open back up, most people are still grappling with a number of losses – loved ones, social connections, the normalcy of our pre-pandemic lives, and more. Even as we get back to “normal,” life will look very different than it did just two years ago. This is a big shift for our brains to handle, and it can bring up a lot of emotions. Join us for this 60-minute webinar where we will discuss:

This 7-week series offers an interactive experience for participants to explore how to develop a sustainability plan. 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. 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. 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. The distance learning series will include skill-based learning opportunities, individual and group activities, reading assignments, and group discussion.

More than a year after the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, many of us are starting to feel the first glimmers of hope that a return to “normal” is on the horizon. As we navigate this latest shift, there is still an overwhelming need to support employees’ mental health. To help, Mental Health First Aid (MHFA) at Work created a new toolkit for employers’ use this Mental Health Awareness Month and beyond. If you enjoy the toolkit, we hope you’ll also consider closing out Mental Health Awareness Month with MHFA for a live webinar focused on 2021 workplace trends, employee wellbeing, and resilience.
