In addition, presenters will share lessons learned and promising practices related to high engagement and sustainability of local prevention coalitions and activities.

Older Adult Mental Health Awareness Day
Submitted by Julee Christianson on Wed, 05/01/2019 - 10:13
The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, the Administration for Community Living, and the National Coalition on Mental Health and Aging invite you to attend the Older Adult Mental Health Awareness Day 2019 in the Great Hall of the Hubert H. Humphrey Building, 200 Independence Avenue, SW in Washington, DC with participation by webcast also available.
By 2030 the United States Census Bureau indicates there will be nearly 75 million Americans over age 65. A 2012 study from the Institute on Medicine found nearly one-in-five older Americans have one or more mental health/substance use conditions. Although they comprise only 15.2 percent of the U.S. population, older adults accounted for 18.2 percent of suicide deaths in 2016 and males 75 or older have suicide rates nearly double of any other age group.
This event is designed to raise public awareness around the mental health of older Americans and spur actions to address their needs by promoting evidence-based approaches to mental health and substance use prevention, treatment, and recovery supports for older adults and collaboration between the mental health and aging networks. It will also highlight where people can seek treatment and services when needed.

Webinar: Racism using a neurodevelopment lens
Submitted by Julee Christianson on Wed, 05/08/2019 - 09:30
Presented by Rick Griffin as part of the Washington State Essentials for Childhood five part ACES, Trauma and Resilience webinar series.
Rick Griffin is the Director of Training and Curriculum Development and a Master Trainer for Community Resilience Initiative (CRI), a non-profit organization dedicated to creating a citizenship conversant in trauma and resilience. Mr. Griffin speaks to thousands of groups from all over the country and is widely recognized for his work in trauma-informed care. Whether he is working with educators, health care professionals, or law enforcement; he is dedicated to helping professionals connect with those in their charge.
This webinar uses discoveries in neuroscience to offer a new way of understanding racism and other forms of discrimination. The course suggests that the key to overcoming racism is looking beneath the behaviors of racisms to its origins in neurodevelopment. Seeing issues like racism as a developmental process allows us to see that only a compassionate and ideology-free attitude toward the racist can help us understand what it is that he or she needs to learn to be more inclusive.

Webinar: Social media for mental health services: Understanding the risks, challenges, and need for safety
Submitted by Julee Christianson on Fri, 05/17/2019 - 15:51
Social media platforms have emerged as highly popular venues for sharing personal experiences, seeking information, and offering peer-to-peer support among individuals living with mental illness and those facing the challenges of substance use. With significant shortfalls in the availability, quality, and reach of evidence-based mental health and substance use treatment services across the United States, popular social media platforms may afford new opportunities to bridge this gap.
The goal of this three-part webinar series is to present the state of the science on the role of social media as a potentially viable intervention platform for engaging persons with mental disorders, enhancing existing mental health services, and supporting community-based mental health providers.

Tribal Action Plan (TAP) Development Workshop
Submitted by Julee Christianson on Mon, 03/18/2019 - 08:01
The U.S. Department of Justice's National Indian Country Training Initiative (NICTI), together with the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), is pleased to announce the Tribal Action Plan (TAP) Development Workshop. The Tribal Action Plan Training Initiative was established in direct response to the Tribal Law and Order Act of 2010. TAPs support the principle of tribal self-determination and provide tribes the opportunity to take a proactive role in the fight against alcohol and substance misuse in their communities. (25 U.S.C. § 2412) This workshop is designed to provide tribes with the tools and guidance to assist in developing a TAP. The TAP Workshop will be led by experienced faculty and will include sessions focused on: 1) community readiness; 2) resource identification; 3) needs assessment; and 4) strategic plan development.
Tribes who are chosen to participate are required to send a core team of five representatives with responsibility for creating the tribe's TAP. Suggested disciplines for the Tribal Coordinating Committee include the following: leadership, behavioral, public or community health; the criminal justice system; and education. Tribes who have participated in a Gathering of Native Americans (GONA) training possess important preparation for the TAP Workshop. Core Tribal TAP Team members will be required to participate in pre and post workshop technical assistance, attend the entire workshop, and sign a letter of commitment to work with Federal TAP points of contacts and consultants to complete a tribal-specific TAP. Tribes selected to attend the TAP Workshop must adopt a resolution (or legally-equivalent action) to develop and implement a tribal action plan.

Webinar: Applying prevention science to quell the opioid crisis
Submitted by Julee Christianson on Tue, 04/30/2019 - 10:54
A Northwest PTTC webinar.
Although the rate of opioid addiction has risen recently at an alarming rate, many misconceptions have compromised our ability to respond effectively. While trying to respond to this crisis, the public health community has neglected to consider findings from the field of prevention science about addiction and the causal influences that are addressable early in life. This webinar will discuss the research on pathways to addiction and evidence-based practices that address them. It will also offer eight recommendations for the federal government, states, and communities to consider to ensure that our investments in addressing this crisis achieve the greatest return on our dollars.
Presenter:
- Diana F. Fishbein, Ph.D. - Professor in the Department of Human Development and Family Studies and the Director of the Program of Translational Research on Adversity and Neurodevelopment at Penn State University.
