Webinar: ESAS: Adolescent brain maturation and health: Intersections on the developmental highway
Submitted by Endalkachew.abebaw on Wed, 08/26/2020 - 16:33
This session will cover important information for understanding the impact of the changing brain during adolescence, and what providers should keep in mind, including:
1. The maturation of the adolescent brain likely contributes to behaviors that are characteristic of this developmental period.
2. This maturation also informs our understanding of risk for substance use disorders and other behavioral disorders.
3. Service providers can leverage teen brain science when working with adolescents and parents.

Webinar: Native American storytelling: Culture is prevention
Submitted by Endalkachew.abebaw on Mon, 07/20/2020 - 15:47
This series of sessions features traditional Native American storytelling, along with time for discussion on what can be learned from the stories, as well as the ways these stories can be incorporated by Native American providers into their work with patients.
Please note that while we encourage non-Native providers to attend these sessions to increase your cultural understanding and sensitivity, we ask that out of respect for cultural traditions, you do not use these stories as your own if they are not a part of your culture.
Native storytelling is an long honored way of teaching lessons of life. We, as Native people, need to laugh while learning. For example, laughing at how Coyote makes funny mistakes. This can teach people how to avoid behaving as Coyote does. Further, Native legends can offer stories about Creation or the Trickster. However, some stories can only be told during certain times of the year. For example, Coyote legends are only told during the winter time because that is often when Native people would be in their lodges practicing survival skills to help the tribe thrive in difficult times.
Traditionally, the storyteller needed to be an excellent psychologist and able to understand peoples’ perspectives. A story might be used in treatment to help a patient come to a realization in a culturally informed way.

Webinar: Mental Health Associations 2020 Conference: COVID-19, mental health and the need for equity
Submitted by Endalkachew.abebaw on Mon, 07/20/2020 - 15:28
Each year, the Mental Health America (MHA) Annual Conference brings together MHA affiliates, community stakeholders, peers, caregivers, providers, government officials, media and more from across the country to discuss important and emerging mental health issues. MHA’s 2020 Annual Conference will take place September 3-4, 2020 and is themed COVID-19, Mental Health, and the Need for Equity. The conference will now be completely virtual. We will host a Pre-Conference Day for MHA Affiliates on September 2.
WHY THIS THEME?
Over the last few months, the world was thrown into a global pandemic. As the number of cases of COVID-19 increased, so did the associated experiences of anxiety, depression, and suicidal ideation. The mental health effects of COVID-19 are as important to address as are the physical health effects – but we know that not everyone has equal access to care. And for the one in five who already have mental health conditions – or the one in two who are at risk of developing them – we need to take personal, professional, and policy measures now to address them. And we need to do it an equitable way.
MHA has been monitoring its Online Screening Program throughout the pandemic. As of early June, more than 88,000 additional people have developed symptoms of anxiety or depression because of the COVID-19 pandemic. In addition, more than 21,000 depression screeners reported thinking of suicide or self-harm on more than half the days – a number that suggests a coming wave of mental impacts that could be of epidemic proportions. What is most troubling is that the numbers – consistent with the numbers from the U.S. Government’s Census Bureau - demonstrate not only that there is not yet any relief from the mental health impacts of the pandemic, but that the impacts actually seem to be spreading and accelerating.
In addition, COVID-19 brought to light what many in the health care and social justice communities already knew – that Black, Indigenous, People of Color (BIPOC) are disproportionately negatively impacted and are dying at much higher rates. Adding to that the systemic racism that so many people of color bear every day, the trauma and mental health implications are significant. Past trauma is prominently mentioned as the reason that people experience serious mental health conditions today – and nearly half of those taking a mental health screening with MHA who received a moderate to severe result since Spring 2020 cited trauma as the reason.
The last few months have changed everything - and the world is looking at “a new normal.” Our 2020 Annual Conference – now with a virtual component – will discuss it all. From increases in depression and anxiety rates, to adjusting workplaces and workplace mental health, to addressing disproportionate inequities due to systemic barriers and historical adversity - MHA is talking about it. Join us.
Date and Time: September 3, 2020 - 8:00am to September 4, 2020 - 5:00pm

Webinar: Deconstructing unconscious bias in behavioral health care (Day 2)
Submitted by Endalkachew.abebaw on Wed, 08/12/2020 - 09:02
Building off the psychological framework of unconscious bias as discussed in the first session, this second presentation will review and inform on how unconscious bias is reflected in words, communications, and relations toward persons of color through case scenarios reflecting its impact in the addiction, mental health, and prevention settings. The elusiveness of cognitive bias underscores provider assumptions and perceptions and affect judgment that lead to prejudice, micro-aggressions, and even discriminatory practices in care. The discussion will also identify commonly experienced pressures of personal and ‘on the job’ stress, and other bias risk factors that affect decision making, interactions and client/patient outcomes in behavioral health.
Goal: Recognize and examine how unconscious biases obstruct the provider’s capacity to engage and effectively deliver patient centered care for persons of color accessing behavioral health services.
Learning Objectives:
• Identify how unconscious biases are not limited to race and can exist for characteristics such as gender, age, sexual orientation, gender identity, disability status, etc.
• Identify how assumptions and stigma impact communications and rapport building.
• List behavioral health (one of each) examples of how stereotypes lead to inequitable care.
Date and Time: September 3, 2020 - 10:00am to 11:30am
Webinar: Health Equity in prevention part 1: A definition in rural and remote communities
Submitted by Endalkachew.abebaw on Tue, 08/25/2020 - 18:00
Health equity is a prominent topic in the field of public health, but what is it, really, and how does it relate to and intersect with prevention in rural and remote communities? This session will define health equity and explore it as it relates to racial inequity and justice in rural and remote communities. Note that we will be utilizing breakout sessions in this webinar!

Objectives
- Define health equity, and understand it as a layer of racial equity.
- Integrate the concept of equity into the shared risk and protective factors theory and social determinants of health model.
- Identify the key components of an embodied health equity practice to impact health equity positively.

Webinar: Part 1: Anxiety & school - identifying anxiety and what to do about it
Submitted by Endalkachew.abebaw on Fri, 09/04/2020 - 07:40
Anxiety is one of the most common mental health concerns youth face. While it is a normal emotional experience, it can grow to become incredibly distressing and interfering, particularly as it comes to school. When anxiety is present in the school setting (whether in-person or remote), educators have an important role in encouraging and reinforcing brave vs. anxious behavior. Research supports the importance of youth moving from a cycle of avoiding to a cycle of approaching anxiety-provoking situations in order to overcome problematic anxiety. In this webinar, we will discuss how to identify, understand, and intervene for problematic anxiety for youth in your classroom.
Webinar Objectives:
1) Identify common ways in which anxiety presents in school settings including in-person and online formats.
2) Learn empirically supported strategies to reduce problematic anxiety.
3) Describe school-based approaches for anxiety that encourage and reinforce empirically supported strategies (approach to anxious situations vs. avoidance).
*Our events are open to the public and attendees from any region.

Webinar: Developmental relationships: Bring intention to practice
Submitted by Endalkachew.abebaw on Tue, 08/18/2020 - 17:23
It’s not enough to say that relationships matter.
We’ve known for decades that high-quality relationships are essential to young people’s growing, learning, and thriving—including for those young people who face serious stresses in their lives and in the world around them. But many professionals who work directly with youth–especially youth from marginalized communities–face challenges in forming well-rounded relationships that connect with the diverse needs of youth.
In fact, we know that 20% of youth report having no developmental relationships in their life, and another 20% report only having one.
Educational success and social-emotional development blossom when caring adults and supportive peers are present in young people’s lives, and build developmental relationships.
Relationships are developmental when they help young people discover who they are, nuture abilities to shape their own lives, and learn how to engage with and contribute to the world around them.
Our research team identified five critical elements of developmental relationships:
- Express Care
- Challenge Growth
- Provide Support
- Share Power
- Expand Possibilities
In the Developmental Relationships – Bring Intention to Practice workshop, you'll learn to be intentional and inclusive in strengthening developmental relationships with young people.

On September 17 and 18, 2020, join the NIMH Division of Translational Research for a two-day virtual workshop, “Social Disconnection and Late Life Suicide,” which will bring together clinician scientists, behavioral scientists, neuroscientists, geriatric psychiatrists, epidemiologists, and implementation scientists to discuss the current state of the science on social disconnection and suicide. Workshop topics include:
- the mechanisms by which social disconnection confers risk for suicide in older adulthood,
- potential treatment targets for future intervention development, and
- opportunities for and obstacles to effective implementation of interventions to address and prevent late-life suicide.
Background:
Suicide is the tenth leading cause of death in the United States. In late adulthood, suicide rates are higher than in any other age group and have risen more than 40% in the past 10 years. Social disconnection – a term which refers to either objective social isolation, perceived social isolation (otherwise known as loneliness), or the co-presence of both – is one of the primary risk factors for a suicidal attempt. It is at its highest levels in late adulthood and is one of the primary motivators of self-harm in older adults. As the American population rapidly ages – over 20% of the population will be over the age of 65 by 2030 – there is an urgent need to advance mechanistic understanding of the link between social disconnection and suicide risk, to identify treatment targets for promising interventions to address social disconnection and suicide in late-life, and to elucidate barriers to and achievements in implementing interventions and providing services to socially disconnected older adults contemplating suicide.
Date and Time: September 17, 2020 - 10:00am to September 18, 2020 - 4:00pm

Webinar: A practical approach for youth mental health during the pandemic
Submitted by Endalkachew.abebaw on Fri, 09/11/2020 - 08:21
Becoming effective in engagement online is not only crucial for agencies who serve both youth and adults; it’s imperative. Before COVID, Youth Era spent over a decade learning how to engage in online spaces with distance learning and maximizing social media. This expertise drove the Department of Psychiatry at the University of Oxford to partner with Youth Era on creating a transformational five-day virtual event called UpLift. Initial research showed that UpLift made a tremendous impact on the youth who attended.
Join this free, 60-minute webinar where we will discuss how to:
-
create an immersive virtual environment that maximizes audience attention through online engagement strategies leading to life-transforming experiences
-
take your in-person training to a virtual platform, without losing the effectiveness or outcomes and, in many cases, gaining better results virtually than what was possible in person
-
master the modern rapport-building hacks that Youth Era and industry leaders are using to create “digital sacred grounds”, with practical approaches and tools

Our aim is to do so through a hands-on experiential learning process in a face-to-face format. Based on results from the Northwest’s 2018-2019, Prevention Workforce Needs Assessment and Advisory Council feedback, the Prevention Leadership Academy will focus on building collaborative structures to enhance leadership skills and that flatten hierarchy. Specific goals for the academy include:
- Use of self-assessment tools so leaders can identify their strengths and areas of practice they would like to improve;
- Participation in a set of Liberating Structures activities that can be used to engage others in their organizations and communities; and
- Development of a leadership capacity plan to implement following the academy.
NWPTTC staff is collaborating with facilitators of Liberating Structures to present the academy.

The goal of the Northwest PTTC Prevention Leadership Academy is to engage leaders in the prevention workforce to identify and build upon their strengths in creative problem-solving, strategic planning, and charismatic communication.
The COVID-19 pandemic has challenged leaders of local substance misuse prevention efforts to keep communities engaged. Given the uncertainties around face-to-face meeting, many of us are looking for new ways to re-energize our connections. The Virtual Northwest Prevention Leadership Academy creates an opportunity for participants to learn and experience online tools that create energy and empowerment to engage leaders, coalitions, and community members in our collective prevention efforts.
The Virtual Leadership Academy will explore both leadership principles using a set of Liberating Structures customized for prevention and online delivery. Liberating Structures is a set of practical methods and tools designed to foster active participation and create innovation among team members, collaborators, and communities. Their use facilitates trust-building and shared commitment to group values and outcomes. Northwest PTTC staff is excited to be collaborating with facilitators of Liberating Structures to present the academy. Learn more about the facilitators.

Suicide is a major public health concern. More than 48,000 people die by suicide each year in the United States, and it was the 10th leading cause of death overall in 2018. Suicide is complicated and tragic, but it is often preventable.
September is National Suicide Prevention Awareness Month, a time to help raise awareness and share information about this important public health concern. Although the COVID-19 pandemic’s impact on suicide is still unknown, the slow but steady increases in the U.S. suicide rate remain a concern.
The National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) will host a livestream event on Wednesday, September 23, 2020, from 2:00 - 2:30 p.m. ET, to discuss the latest in suicide prevention research, including ways to identify risk, and effective prevention strategies. Joshua Gordon, M.D., Ph.D., Director of NIMH, will moderate this discussion with Jane Pearson, Ph.D., Special Advisor to the NIMH Director on Suicide Research, and Stephen O’Connor, Ph.D., chief of the Suicide Prevention Research Program in the NIMH Division of Services and Intervention Research.

- Watch the livestream event on NIMH’s Facebook or Twitter feeds. You must have either a Facebook or Twitter account to watch.
- Follow NIMH on Facebook or Twitter for updates on the livestream event and other information about mental health research.
- Refresh NIMH’s Facebook or Twitter feeds at 2 p.m. ET on September 23rd to watch the livestream discussion.

Webinar: Nervous system regulation: Strategies for mind-body health
Submitted by Endalkachew.abebaw on Mon, 09/14/2020 - 14:42
One of the most profound effects of the pandemic has been the loss of options, choices and control in our daily lives. This has led to an increase in anxiety, depression and substance use. However, emerging research points to a key aspect of daily living we have more power over than we may realize: our nervous system. Join clinician Matthew Polacheck, PsyD, to take a closer look at how we can regulate our nervous system functioning to lessen anxiety, lower depression and live with greater purpose, meaning and quality.
This highly interactive webinar features a progressive relaxation exercise as well as mind-body strategies to immediately regulate emotions and reduce anxiety.
Objectives
- Examine emerging research on the nervous system, including SPECT brain scans
- Become knowledgeable about the function of the nervous system in daily living
