Behavioral Health and Substance Use Awareness in the Workplace
This 1.5 hour course is designed to educate employers and employees about mental health and substance use issues that may arise in the workplace and how to manage them. It is not designed for the mental health professional, and this series
does not train the viewer to diagnose, only to recognize and respond. Behavioral health and substance use are common occurrences. Everyone in the workplace can make an impact by learning more about these conditions, working to reduce
stigma, and learning how to talk to a coworker who might be struggling and help them to access supportive resources.
This presentation was prepared for the Mid-America Addiction Technology Center (Mid-America ATTC), Mid-America Mental Health Technology Transfer Center (Mid-America MHTTC), and the Mid-America Prevention Technology Transfer Center (Mid-America PTTC) under a cooperative agreement from the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA).

Improving Outcomes for Individuals on Community-based Supervision with Opioid Use Disorders (OUD)
In 2019, an estimated 1 in 59 adults in the U.S. was under community supervision. Researchers estimate that 60 to 80% of individuals on probation have a substance use disorder. Many people on community supervision who have an opioid use
disorder never get the high-quality care needed to recover. There are many reasons for this - logistical barriers, lack of access to evidence-based treatments, stigma... But as a professional working with people on probation/ parole,
you can change that.
This 2-hour online course is designed specifically for community supervision officers and community treatment providers working with justice-involved individuals. Whether you're supervising someone with an OUD under community supervision or providing
their treatment, every interaction is an opportunity to achieve better outcomes.

Integrating Grief and Loss Conversations into the SBIRT Model
According to the Dougy Center: The National Center for Grieving Children and Families, individuals cope with losses in different ways; therefore, there is no right or wrong way to grieve. In adolescents and young adults, feelings of loss
and grief can develop from many things beyond a loved one's physical death, such as loss of developmental experiences or milestones. This 1.5 hour webinar will explore the various definitions and components of grief and loss and how
it can manifest in adolescents and young adults. Using the SBIRT model, participants will learn to identify warning signs and screen for complicated grief in adolescents and young adults, conduct a brief intervention, and link them
to appropriate resources for further treatment, including substance use and depression. The presenter will also outline protective and mitigating factors to help adolescents and young adults cope with grief and loss.
Learning Objectives:
Define the various components of grief and loss and how it affects adolescents and young adults from a physical, emotional, cognitive, behavioral, and spiritual perspective;
Explore ambiguous, stigmatized, traumatic losses, and anticipatory, disenfranchised, and complicated grief;
Recognize the importance of screening for loss with their adolescent and young adult clients; and
Identify ways to screen, conduct brief interventions, and refer high-risk individuals to appropriate services.
The Addiction
Technology Transfer Center Network (ATTC) is partnering with NORC, at the
University of Chicago and the Association for Multidisciplinary Education and
Research in Substance use and Addiction (AMERSA) to bring a series of virtual
events examining special topics for working with adolescents and transitional
age youth that relate to substance use and mental health conditions.

Providing Affirming Care for LGBTQ+ People in Substance Use Treatment Settings
The Opioid Response Network (ORN), in partnership with Columbia University Department of Psychiatry Division on Substance Use Disorders, has created a one-of a-kind web-based training that will help substance use disorder treatment
providers deliver more affirming care to their LGBTQ+ clients. The course will:
- Provide an introduction to terminology related to gender, sexuality and LGBTQ+ communities; - Discuss why substance use uniquely impacts LGBTQ+ communities; - Include stories from LGBTQ+ individuals about their experiences in
substance use treatment and perspectives from providers who work with LGBTQ+ clients; and - Include instructive videos featuring simulated interactions between staff and LGBTQ+ clients in substance use treatment settings.
This new training will help participants identify key components of care for LGBTQ+ people, and how to make the treatment environment and staff interactions more welcoming for LGBTQ+ clients by:
Participants will develop skills to improve their delivery of affirming care to LGBTQ+ people and determine changes they would like to make in their own organizations with support from the ORN.

People who use substances have high unmet needs for accessing sexual and reproductive health care. Healthcare settings are implementing a variety of strategies to meet the needs of people who use drugs, including screening and brief intervention,
de-stigmatizing substance use disorder and addressing a range of behaviors from a harm reduction perspective. This activity aims to assist clinical services providers with understanding the problems people who use drugs face in accessing
sexual and reproductive health care and to explain harm reduction and implementation in health care settings.
At the completion of this activity, participants should be able to:
Describe unmet sexual and reproductive health needs of people with substance use disorder.
Discuss strategies for enhanced, client-centered care for people with substance use disorder.
List at least three harm reduction principles for healthcare settings.

Harm reduction is increasingly emphasized as an important approach when working across the continuum of care. While many in the prevention field remain focused on primary prevention, opportunities exist for preventionists to support and
augment local harm reduction efforts. This online course focuses on steps prevention practitioners can take to support harm reduction efforts, including promoting community readiness, addressing stigma, and linking harm reduction to
more traditional “upstream” prevention efforts.
The course consists of an interactive content module and a completion quiz. It is estimated that the course may take up to 2 hours to complete.
This course was developed by the Great Lakes Prevention Technology Transfer Center, which is funded by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) and covers the HHS Region 5 (IN, IL, MI, MN, OH, WI).
