Webinar: How harm reduction fits into the SBIRT model
Submitted by DBHR Athena Adm... on Thu, 11/14/2019 - 08:23
Harm reduction is both a philosophy and a series of interventions that aim to reduce the negative impacts of a health behavior as opposed to ending the behavior entirely. This approach may seem to contradict how screening, brief intervention, and referral to treatment (SBIRT) encourages health professionals to guide patients with likely substance use disorders (SUDs) to accept abstinence-based treatment. However, this presentation will demonstrate how harm reduction can be incorporated into all three components of SBIRT. By discarding a singular focus on abstinence and adopting an approach of “meeting patients where they are at,” clinicians can help patients reduce harm from their use as well as forge their own pathway to recovery.
Presenter: Jim Winkle, MPH has trained hundreds of health care professionals how to perform and implement SBIRT (Screening, Brief Intervention, Referral to Treatment) in clinic settings. As the creator behind the sbirtoregon.org website and the SBIRT screening app, Jim has designed clinic tools, screening forms, and video demonstrations that have been widely adopted by health professionals around the country.
Date and Time: December 4, 2019 - 11:00am to 12:00pm
Webinar: What addiction professionals should know about medical marijuana
Submitted by DBHR Athena Adm... on Fri, 09/27/2019 - 09:18
Medical marijuana is now broadly or partially legalized in 28 states, though it remains illegal under federal law. Variation in laws can create confusion for mental health professionals, raising a number of questions for mental health professionals in both clinical and forensic settings. This confusion has led to many questions by practitioners, such as: What does the law say about medical marijuana in my state? How do I know whether my client is using medical marijuana therapeutically vs. abusing it? What are the risks, side effects, and potential drawbacks of medical marijuana? If my client uses medical marijuana, can employers discriminate against him or her? What do I do if a client is referred to me for substance use disorder treatment but is legally taking prescribed marijuana? This webinar seeks to answer these questions and more.
Learning Objectives
- Understand and explore the medicinal uses of medical tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) and cannabidiol (CBD), as well as contraindications.
- Explore ethical and legal implications for medical marijuana.
- Identify strategies for addressing abuse or addiction of medical THC vs. legitimate medical use.
Date and Time: December 4, 2019 - 12:00pm to 2:00pm

Paper Tigers screening
Submitted by DBHR Athena Adm... on Mon, 12/02/2019 - 13:47
Join a screening of an amazing documentary that captures insights about the hidden epidemic of childhood trauma plaguing our schools and communities. Watch how one school systematically tackled this very challenging problem by understanding [how] "trauma threatens brain development, harms long term health and leads to erratic behavior." As noted in the film, "behavior isn't the kid, it's a symptom." See how the successful implementation of trauma informed care helped improve GPAs, graduation rates, and other key indicators of youth engagement. Help grow the movement and change the world!
Paper Tigers follows a year in the life of an alternative high school that has radically changed its approach to disciplining its students, becoming a promising model for how to break the cycles of poverty, violence and disease that affect families.
Date and Time: December 17, 2019 - 7:30pm to 9:15pm Location: Cinemark Point Ruston & XD — 5057 Main Street, Tacoma, WA
