Course Description: Adolescents are influenced by a variety of factors that can place them at a high risk for substance use, misuse, and substance use disorders. Consequently, there is a potential for obstructing healthy emotional, physical, and social development. The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends universal screening in pediatric primary care, and many school settings are integrating substance use screening to capitalize on contact opportunities. This interactive webinar training will review validated screening tools for adolescents and rapport building approaches to conduct an effective substance use screening, utilizing components of SBIRT (Screening, Brief Intervention, and Referral to Treatment).

Course Description SBIRT (Screening, Brief Intervention, and Referral to Treatment) is an evidence- based practice that uses a preventive public health approach to identify and intervene with persons whose pattern of use puts them at risk for, or are experiencing substance-related health problems, and/or deliver referrals to treatment for persons with a high potential for substance use disorders. With current data reporting 66.6 million people in the US as binge drinkers, and over 30 million more having used illicit drugs in the past month, many of whom will not meet the criteria of alcohol or substance use disorders, SBIRT is an essential intervention to integrate in behavioral health settings. This interactive two-part training discusses validated evidence-based tools used in SBIRT, how to provide a brief intervention and skills practice, and essential components of successful facilitation of referrals to treatment. Presenter Diana Padilla -- is Research Project Manager at the New York State Psychiatric Institute, Division of Substance Use Disorders, Columbia University Medical Center. Ms. She is a Senior Trainer with more than 23 years of public health service, instructing behavioral health practitioners, prevention specialists and drug court professionals on addictions and recovery supporting best practices.  Supplemental Material Session 1 Transcript Session 2 Transcript PowerPoint

Antes de incursionar en nuevos esfuerzos de colaboración, es importante ponderar la composición y naturaleza de nuestras alianzas al presente. ¿Quién comparte en la mesa de prevención? Dicha mesa, ¿refleja la diversidad de la comunidad?¿Qué destrezas, peritaje y perspectivas aportan los socios? ¿Cómo funcionan las relaciones con los diversos socios? ¿Puede identificar algunos patrones relacionados a las diversas relaciones existentes?  ¿Qué acciones se toman para apoyar el trabajo de los socios? Y finalmente, ¿Qué roles se les ha propuesto asuman en su trabajo de prevención - y si esos roles incluyen roles de liderazgo? Esta hoja de trabajo está diseñada para ayudarle a desarrollar un breve inventario de aquellos con quienes usted trabaja y cómo. El analizar sus alianzas existentes le ayudará a visualizar y apreciar el valor de sus socios actuales. También le ayudará a determinar si los socios actuales son los acertados, a la luz de sus prioridades de prevención al presente; y a visualizar dónde necesita reclutar nuevos socios para llenar las brechas y/o para garantizar la representación de los grupos claves.

September 27, 2021 10am-12pm Course Description When working with Hispanic and Latino populations, clear language should never be a linear process, particularly for a collectivist society that defines and interprets experiences within a cultural context. Latino values such as ‘machismo and personalismo’ can be very insightful, but when defined and understood through an American perspective, we wonder why we feel a ‘disconnect’ with the Hispanic client/patient we need toprovide prevention services to. This interactive presentation will inform on Latino cultural nuances that can reframe communication for Hispanic individuals with substance use and/or mental health problems and discuss prevention strategies to support "recuperación" (recovery). Supplemental Material Transcript PowerPoint

El trabajo entre las organizaciones y sectores interesados en asuntos de la comunidad, toma formas variadas. La relación entre socios se da desde una vinculación de tipo informal (ej. dos agencias intercambian información) hasta una relación mucho más estructurada (ej. múltiples organizaciones que trabajan de cerca para alcanzar una visión compartida).      

La competencia cultural describe la habilidad de una persona u organización para interactuar  efectivamente con personas de diferentes culturas. También significa el respetar y responder a las  creencias en torno a la salud, a los valores, a las prácticas, y a las necesidades culturales y  linguísticas de diversos grupos poblacionales. La competencia cultural es el punto de entrada para la colaboración efectiva. Con ella, estamos  más receptivos a las necesidades, fortalezas, y experiencias de otros. Podemos entender mejor el  uso de substancias en su comunidad. Podemos comprender mejor los factores culturales que  podrían proteger del uso de substancias. Y podemos comenzar a crear un ambiente de  colaboración que apoye la vinculación genuina y significativa y que con toda probabilidad produzca  acercamientos de prevención efectivos y reduzca las disparidades arraigadas.  Resource

The NeCPTTC has created a Sustainability Planning Toolkit to help prevention specialists produce and maintain positive substance misuse outcomes. This toolkit guides professionals in evaluating their strategic planning processes and interventions in order to determining what needs to be sustained and the best way to do so. The toolkit offers a five-step sustainability planning process to help communities move from understanding to action, and to identify and secure the resources needed to maintain positive prevention outcomes beyond current funding. The steps include setting sustainability goals, selecting your sustainability approach, identifying needed resources, collaboration and partnership mapping, and developing your sustainability outreach approach. For each of these five steps, the toolkit provides a supplemental worksheet to help practically guide individuals and organizations through this planning process. The toolkit is now available for your use.

Date: March 11, 2021 Description Determining how to maintain your effective prevention efforts and positive outcomes are critical activities for substance misuse prevention professionals. But, it is not always clear what should be sustained and it can be even more challenging to figure out how to go about doing it.  Research on sustainability has identified securing resources, implementing effective processes, and building organizational and community capacity as necessary conditions for affecting positive and lasting community change. And, meaningful engagement of a variety of partners, through strategic relationship building that includes efforts beyond the ‘usual suspects’, is the connective tissue enabling us to carry out our work in increasingly equitable and sustainable ways.  This two-part, virtual learning series will provide practitioners with an approach for sustainability that includes focusing on maintaining positive outcomes, effective processes and interventions that work. Webinar Features Part 2 - In this Peer Sharing session, we reviewed the sustainability model presented in the training webinar and we collectively explored potential solutions to challenges participants have experienced in efforts to sustain initiatives historically and in the context of the COVID-19 environment.
