Parent-Child Interaction Feeding Scale Workshop
Submitted by PCRP on Mon, 02/14/2022 - 11:25
DEVELOP OBSERVATION SKILLS IN INFANT AND
EARLY CHILDHOOD MENTAL HEALTH
At the very foundation of infant mental health is the ability to skillfully observe a caregiver and their infant during an interaction. We know that attuned caregiver-child interactions lead to better health and mental health outcomes for children. We also know that interactions can range from attuned to mis-attuned, or somewhere in the middle.
HOW DO SERVICE PROVIDERS DEVELOP THEIR OBSERVATION
SKILLS, THE ABILITY TO UNDERSTAND THE UNDERLYING INTERACTIONAL QUALITY BETWEEN CAREGIVER AND INFANT?
THROUGH PRACTICE AND GUIDANCE.
Learning the PCI Feeding scale provides the training and practice needed to conduct a reliable and valid observation of a caregiver-infant interaction. This training gives you concrete areas to guide intervention and encourage positive parent-child interactions.
LEARNING THE FEEDING SCALE meets the following competencies for certification in Infant Mental Health:
Competencies:
– Infant/Very Young Child Development & Behavior
– Observational Skills
– Screening and Assessment
– Disorders of Infancy and Early Childhood
“I will never look at parent-child
interaction in the same way again.
This training has taught me to leave my
biases at the door and focus on the positive.
I am forever changed.”
—RN, NYC

The Advanced LEARN is listed as a model course by the WA Department of Health.

- LEARN suicide prevention skills (Including screening and safety planning intervention)

There Has Always Been Drinking in America: Alcohol, History, Culture, and What it all Means for Prevention
Submitted by connie.lauderda... on Wed, 03/09/2022 - 08:39
Americans drink to celebrate and to mourn. We toast a new addition to our family, an engagement, a marriage, a new job, and a life well-lived. We open a bottle to break bread with friends, to watch sports, to pray, and to drown our sorrows. But we also suffer from addiction, violence, motor vehicle crashes, and death, all at the hands of alcohol. This webinar explores America’s cultural relationship to alcohol, from the thirteen colonies and prohibition to today’s music and movies. In prevention, we often focus so intently on our communities and strategies that we fail to step back and look at the much, much bigger picture of the cultural and historical context of what we are trying to accomplish. Using humor and examples from history, movies, music, television, and more, Dr. Rodney Wambeam provides the larger context of what it means to prevent the misuse, abuse, and devastating consequences of a substance that has always been part of the American experience.
Audience: Prevention practitioners, allied health partners and community members working to prevent substance misuse in tribes, communities, and states in HHS Region 10 (Alaska, Idaho, Oregon, and Washington).
Cost: Free
Certificates for 1.5 hours of attendance will be given to participants.
Questions: Contact Karen Totten (ktotten@casat.org) for any questions related to registration. For any other questions, please contact Clarissa Lam Yuen (clamyuen@casat.org).

Harm Reduction in Rural Alaska
Submitted by megbrunner on Thu, 03/31/2022 - 09:51
Alaska presents a unique challenge for access to harm reduction services; prior to 2016 only 3 urban SAPs serviced the state, which includes over 200 tribal villages spread over 650,000 square miles. Since then, innovative strategies such as a local volunteer run syringe access program (SAP) in Homer, a SAP at a rural tribal medical clinic in Bethel, and a mail order tribal harm reduction program out of Anchorage, have greatly expanded access to services throughout the state. Additionally, rural medical clinics offer a critical access point for patients who use drugs to access medications and services to reduce risks and improve their health.
Learning objectives:
- Review the barriers to accessing harm reduction services in rural areas
- Explore the strengths and opportunities that rural communities have to offer to in the development of harm reduction services
- Discuss the process and importance of community involvement in the creation of new harm reduction programs in rural areas
- Understand how medications and rural medical clinics can play a critical role in reducing morbidity and mortality for PWUD
About the Presenter: Dr. Sarah Spencer is board certified in family and addiction medicine and has been providing treatment for opioid use disorder in rural Alaska for over a decade. She works with Project HOPE to provide opioid overdose response training and naloxone distribution and is a founding member and volunteer medical director of Alaska’s only rural syringe access program in Homer. She is currently an employee of the Ninilchik Traditional Council and provides family medicine and addiction treatment services at their tribal clinic, including telemedicine to remote native villages. She teaches on addiction issues across the state of Alaska, including buprenorphine waiver certification courses. She is a co-author of the state’s medication assisted treatment guide and is the state’s senior physician consultant for the SAHMSA funded Opioid Response Network non-profit consulting program.
