Perimenopause is often defined by unpredictability. Hormonal fluctuations drive irregular bleeding, vasomotor symptoms, sleep disturbance, mood variability, cognitive changes, sexual health concerns, and genitourinary symptoms. For clinicians, this variability can complicate assessment, treatment selection, and patient counseling. This webinar translates evidence into practical clinical strategies for evaluating and managing the most common and disruptive symptoms of perimenopause. Participants will review evidence-based options for vasomotor symptom management (hormonal and non-hormonal), approaches to abnormal uterine bleeding, treatment of genitourinary syndrome of menopause (GSM), and counseling strategies that center patient goals and quality of life. Emphasis will be placed on individualized risk assessment, shared decision-making, and dispelling common myths about hormone therapy.

Developed over 40 years ago in the field of SUD treatment, Motivational Interviewing (MI) is now well recognized as an EBP for increasing both engagement and retention in treatment. Given that Opioid Intervention Courts (OICs) have emerged with a pre-plea model that involves a non-adversarial approach that seeks to avoid leveraging sanctions while attempting to promote rapid treatment engagement, techniques for enhancing intrinsic motivation among clients are critical to success.

This 7-hour course will teach court staff how to best apply MI techniques in the context of a brief intervention and in the course of routine communication with OIC clients.

Funding for this initiative was made possible (in part) by grant no. 6H79TI080816 from SAMHSA.

The number of older adults in the United States is increasing and with the aging of baby boomers this increase is expected to continue. In addition, the aging baby boomers are changing the aging experience much like they have changed other life stages prior to their older adult years.

The result is that as they age, they are bringing substance use into the older adult years. This Healthy Knowledge course will provide an overview of aging in the United States, with a particular focus on the aging of baby boomers, and how healthcare professional can assess and intervene with older adults regarding their substance use as they present themselves for care and a range of services.
