New Journeys started in 2015, as an early intervention program using a shared-decision making model between coordinated specialty care centers and youth and young adults experiencing their first episode of psychosis. Since that time the program has grown to have locations in 9 counties and has served over 200 youth, young adults and their families, with more sites being opened every year to address the needs of those requiring assistance with early intervention for psychosis. 

This event will focus on early identification and intervention of psychosis and will be held over two days, on April 25 and May 2, 2023, from 8:30 a.m. to noon. Registration is free!

Black lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer (LGBTQ+) youth encounter unique mental health concerns due to the intersectionality of their race and sexual identity. Specifically, they are members of multiple groups (i.e., racial and sexual/gender identity groups) that have experienced significant discrimination, prejudice, and bias. This increases their risk of further oppression and creates additional barriers to mental health care. These youth are less likely to receive professional care and more likely to report suicide and depression than cisgender youth. This webinar will identify barriers to care, risks factors associated with heightened mental health concerns, including the intersection of race and sexual/gender identity, and identify strategies for creating change to improve the lived experiences of this under-supported population.

Effectively using social media platforms and being media literate is critically important in a digital age. Improving prevention practitioners’ media literacy and their use of social media platforms can enhance communication with key audiences and result in more effective prevention efforts. This three-part webinar series aims to do this by helping participants better understand core concepts such as media literacy, social media strategies, and the role of advertising in substance use, and develop skills to think critically about social media, its’ messages, and its role in prevention.

• Webinar 1: Social Media Best Practices - March 21, 2023, 11:30 - 1 p.m. 
• Webinar 2: Media Literacy as a Practical and Transferrable Skill - April 11, 2023, 11:30 - 1 p.m. 
• Webinar 3: Using Media in Susbtance Misuse Prevention - May 2, 2023, 11:30 - 1 p.m. 

Stigma – which involves labeling, stereotyping, and discriminating – is a major barrier to mental health help-seeking, psychiatric service engagement, and full inclusion in society. Unfortunately, mental health stigma remains prevalent worldwide. In this webinar, we will discuss the multidimensionality of stigma (e.g., stereotypes, prejudice, discrimination, social distancing, knowledge, etc.), along with the most recent research on mental health stigma prevalence and mental health stigma reduction programs. Throughout this 90-minute presentation, there will be a focus on intersectional stigma considerations and community-based research (participatory) approaches, as well as ways audience members can become involved in stigma reduction efforts.

Research has shown that the rates of Substance Use Disorders among LGBTQ individuals are 3 to 5 times those of their heterosexual, cisgender peers. These statistics hold true across the lifespan and include elevated rates for LGBTQ Elders over age 50, who are especially likely to overuse cannabis, tranquilizers, opiates, and alcohol. These rates reflect the cumulative impact of a lifetime experience of extreme prejudice, the stress of being forced to hide one’s identity for safety, and reasonable responses to living under continual threat of discrimination. This webinar will address the prevalence and underlying reasons for elevated rates of substance use within the population, and offer practical strategies to support older LGBTQ adults who wish to address their substance use.

This 7-week series offers a unique interactive experience that provides participants an opportunity to learn more about the key organizational elements that assist coalitions of all types to operate efficiently and effectively.

The learning series is structured to provide online consultation, skill-based learning and practice, group and self-study activities, reading assignments, and discussion on topics essential to an effective community coalition structure when focusing on primary prevention. Participants will have the opportunity during the course to discuss specific "next steps" questions.

Regardless of the service, those seeking a provider want to be sure that that person is both competent and ethical. This is especially important when the services are human services, such as prevention of substance misuse and mental illness. The International Certification and Reciprocity Consortium (IC&RC) is the only organization that certifies prevention providers. Featuring a representative from each state or jurisdiction’s certification board, this panel presentation will discuss the need and process of becoming certified as a prevention specialist as well as highlight information about board-specific requirements and application procedures.

 

Series description:
Stigma refers to a wide range of negative attitudes, values, and actions towards another group of people. It can frequently occur in behavioral health settings and often against people who use or are at-risk of using substances. Stigma can significantly decrease the likelihood that people will seek services and significantly increase the likelihood of worsening health outcomes. This two-part webinar series will examine stigma through the lens of substance use prevention and experiences on the road to recovery: what it is, how it can manifest, and what prevention stakeholders can do to address it. The webinar will present both the latest research findings and the lessons learned from lived experience.

Course description:
This webinar will review strategies for addressing and preventing stigma against people at risk for substance misuse, substance use disorders, and consequences of substance use. It will discuss strategies at multiple levels: 1) peers and individuals; 2) within prevention organizations; 3) among collaborative partners and across the behavioral health continuum; 4) throughout the community at-large; and 5) in society as a whole. Each of these strategy levels will be examined from the perspectives of both academic research and lived experiences. Additionally, the webinar will include a facilitated small group exercise on identifying potential strategies for addressing stigma.

This two-week, four-session series offers an interactive experience that explores the six principles of the Prevention Code of Ethics using realistic examples designed to strengthen participants’ abilities to manage challenging situations in their work.

Many trainings and resources focus on what research has shown to be effective to prevent substance use. We also know through research what is not effective and sometimes harmful in preventing substance use. Yet communities across the nation continue to implement these ineffective and sometimes counterproductive strategies. The focus of this webinar will be on identifying these ineffective approaches and alternative evidence-based strategies to replace these ineffective strategies. We will also spend time discussing strategies prevention professionals can use to address the resistance often expressed by individuals and organizations reluctant to change long-standing, well-liked, but ineffective prevention practices.

Substance use is the second most identified health disparity issue in rural Hawaiian communities.

It will also discuss risk and protective factors for substance use in the broader Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islander (NHPI) community, and will present a cultural and social determinants of health framework that could be utilized to address substance use prevention among NHPI populations.

The phrase "lived experience" is widely used in behavioral health, but what does it really mean? Is lived experience a code word meaning "former mental patient?" Isn't all experience "lived experience" and therefore isn't "lived experience" redundant? Can a clinician have lived experience? In this 90-minute webinar, the origins of "lived experience" in philosophy and its migration into behavioral health will be explored.
