The Mountain Plains PTTC has developed a new Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion (EDI) infographic.  The Cultural Competence Vs. Cultural Humility infographic focuses on learning how to approach others with humility.   

Although we have a number of buzzwords focused on diversity and cultural inclusion, this topic should have always been at the forefront of our minds. In fact, when you truly examine our code of ethics and the Strategic Prevention Framework, is it obvious that diversity, equity, and inclusion are embedded in our professional standards? This episode places a spotlight on the WHY and HOW we can be intentional about improving health equity in our prevention practice.

Are You Aware of Your Implicit Bias? De'Asia Harris, MPHc, and Leah Blackall, MPHc May 18, 2021, 12-1:30 PM EST COURSE DESCRIPTION Alongside structural racism and discrimination embedded within the United States is implicit or unconscious bias. Equally important as other social determinants, implicit bias contributes to adverse health outcomes of particular populations. This webinar will address the role of implicit bias and how it impacts individuals who seek substance use treatment and other behavioral health services to mitigate adverse behavioral health outcomes. It will divulge the interruption inaccessibility, the referral process, and consequences associated with the implicit bias of vulnerable populations. Methods and tactics to reduce implicit bias will be explored to eliminate the stigma associated with those who require substance use treatments or other behavioral health services. LEARNING OBJECTIVES Develop and understand tactics to mitigate individual implicit bias within Behavioral Health Reduce the stigma associated with behavioral illness through unconscious or implicit bias Recognize and identify methods by which cultures influence implicit bias within Behavioral Health Understand how implicit bias and lack of cultural humility and cultural competency impedes positive Behavioral Health outcomes PRESENTERS De'Asia Harris, MPHc is a graduate student at the University of Maryland, with a Public Health Practice and Policy program concentration.  She earned her Bachelor of Science in Economics from North Carolina Agricultural and Technical State University in May of 2017.  She is also a graduate research assistant for the Consortium on Race, Gender and Ethnicity (CRGE) at the University of Maryland. She currently works as a Medical Assistant at an Outpatient Behavioral Health Clinic in Washington, D.C., and an intern for The Danya Institute's Central East Region Prevention Technology Transfer Center (PTTC).

  The Great Lakes PTTC offers this session for behavioral health professionals and prevention practitioners in HHS Region 5: IL, IN, MI, MN, OH, and WI. This training is offered in response to a need identified by Region 5 stakeholders.   Alcohol prevention efforts often focus on reducing high-risk drinking among high-risk drinking population. For years, this was true at the University of Wisconsin–Madison. After surveying students and finding that students of color are some of the lowest-risk drinkers, University staff wanted to investigate the impact alcohol culture has on students of color. To that end, they created the Color of Drinking survey, and used it along with an analysis of social media to gain better perspective on this question. Knowing this, UW–Madison decided to investigate the impact of its alcohol culture on students of color through the Color of Drinking Survey in 2015 and 2017. Findings from both surveys will be discussed in this session. This webinar will examine the intersection of alcohol prevention and social justice and strategies implemented with UW–Madison campus partners to create a more inclusive environment and present key findings from this exploratory study.   Learning Objectives   Through this session, participants will: Gain knowledge about a mixed methods approach for evaluating the experiences of students of color; Be able to identify one strategy to engage campus partners around alcohol and social justice issues;  and Gain an understanding of how alcohol can impact climate issues.   Speaker: Reonda Washington, MPH, CHES Substance Abuse Prevention Specialist Reonda Washington is a Substance Abuse Prevention Specialist at the University of Wisconsin–Madison. Her work involves helping students to make healthy choices around alcohol, researching the UW-Madison alcohol culture, collaborating with campus partners to build capacity, implementing alcohol prevention programs, and data analysis.   

This tool is serving prevention specialists that want to establish positive relationships with South West Asian, Northern African (SWANA) populations and those who are already working with this population and want to improve their cultural humility. The goal of this product is to help lessen the barriers that prevention specialists and SWANA populations may face when discussing substance misuse and addiction. Covered in this tool are geography of SWANA populations within new England, linguistics to consider, substances specific to this population, risk and protective factors, and New England state-specific resources for people who identify as a part of SWANA with whom prevention specialist may want to connect. This tool was written in the spring of 2021, during a time of increasing cultural awareness and humility which when incorporated into all aspects of life will benefit everyone.    This resource is specific to the New England region which includes Maine, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Connecticut, New Hampshire, and Vermont. This tool speaks to some specific cultural aspects of SWANA people, often referred to as the Middle Eastern region, discussed further in the Linguistic section.

In this tool, you can see how you can use each step to inform your practices. Feel free to use this map with stakeholders, a coalition, or community members to explain the process and how you'll use this tool. At the end of this guide, there is a survey that you can use with your organization, coalition, or group to assess your strengths and areas of growth. The New England PTTC will create a report from your organization-specific data which you can share with your team to assess what areas you may want to focus your work around diversity and inclusion. You may return to this tool when you have determined which areas you want to work on for thoughts on what you might do to improve.   Prevention specialists make a commitment to serving the community. To serve a community fully and equitably, the prevention specialist must recognize that not all parts of the community receive prevention messaging and programing the same way. In order to reach all the diverse parts of your population, you must make intentional efforts to identify, understand, and speak to the full variety of people you serve.
