SUMMARY:[VIRTUAL TRAINING] Addressing Drug-Related Stigma & Bias (CEUs)
DESCRIPTION:Drug-related stigma presents barriers to effectively supporting clients who use drugs. Our biases are learned from a culture that stigmatizes drug use and ostracizes those with substance use disorders. This three-hour training will focus on identifying our biases and societal stigma surrounding people who use drugs and actions we can take to address them. \nParticipants will: \n\nUnpack drug-related stigma at the community\, individual\, and structural level \nGain a framework (ladder of inference) and tools to examine personal biases and unpack them \nLearn about the manifestations of drug-related stigma in media\, policies\, politics\, etc. \nDevelop strategies to challenge workplace/community policies and culture that perpetuate stigma \nBuild skills to interrupt/challenge drug-related stigma at the interpersonal level \n\n  \nThe following continuing education units (CEUs) will be offered in partnership with Adept Educational Institute: CADC/CAC\, LADC I\, LADC II\, LADC Assistant\, RN/LPN\, SW\, LMHC \nFor questions about this training\, please contact Michael Leonard at mleonard@hria.org. \nFor questions about CEUs or training logistics\, please contact Emelie Trayah at emelie@adcare-educational.org. \n  \nCLICK HERE TO REGISTER\n\n

SUMMARY:[IN-PERSON] Supporting People Who Use Drugs: Strategies for Service Providers + De-Escalation Techniques for Challenging Situations (CEUs)
DESCRIPTION:8:30am – Check-in\n9am – First Training Begins \n12pm – Lunch \n1pm – Second Training Begins\n  \nSupporting People Who Use Drugs: Strategies for Service Providers (Part 1)\nThis three-hour training will offer participants an opportunity to explore reasons why people may use drugs\, how we can assess risk using the “drug\, set\, setting” model\, and how we can design our physical program spaces to support engagement among our participants and clients who use drugs. \nParticipants will be able to:    \n\nUnderstand the intersection between harm reduction and recovery and name the similarities and differences between these two approaches  \nExplore the societal context of drug use through the “drug\, set\, setting” model and develop an appreciation for the various reasons people use drugs  \nLearn non-stigmatizing approaches to interacting with prospective program participants who use drugs and designing the physical program space   \nDevelop skills in the asking\, listening\, and informing strategy of motivational interviewing to hold conversations about drug use and harm reduction with clients/participants   \n\nDe-Escalation Techniques for Challenging Situations (Part 2)\nThis training is designed to build skills\, best practices\, and strategies to better support young people or adults in moments of escalation. It is vital for human service providers across fields to understand how trauma impacts the brain and often lies at the root of escalated incidents with clients or participants in programs. Utilizing a trauma-informed approach to de-escalation diminishes the chances of re-traumatizing people and builds up better coping mechanisms\, encourages positive life-decisions\, and allows for cohesive information sharing. \nIn this engaging and practical training module\, we will focus on concrete ways we can better support our participants through escalated feelings.  We will also discuss how to build a program that is trauma-informed in order to reduce the likelihood of escalations happening and to ease the process of de-escalation when they do. \nParticipants will be able to: \n\nDescribe de-escalation techniques\n\n\nReview strategies for dealing with challenging situations\n\n\nPractice dealing with challenging situations\n\n\nIdentify strategies for trauma-informed care\n\nThe following continuing education units (CEUs) will be offered in partnership with Adept Educational Institute: CADC/CAC\, LADC I\, LADC II\, LADC Assistant\, RN/LPN\, SW\, LMHC \nFor questions about this training\, please contact Michael Leonard at mleonard@hria.org. \nFor questions about CEUs or training logistics\, please contact Emelie Trayah at emelie@adepteducational.org. \n  \nCHECK BACK SOON FOR REGISTRATION!\n\n

SUMMARY:[VIRTUAL] Exploring Pathways of Recovery (CEUs)
DESCRIPTION:This three-hour professional development module is intended to educate human service providers about the various pathways of recovery for people with substance use disorders.  Recovery and its definition have vastly changed in just the past decade; what may work for one person in recovery may not work for all.  Intersecting identities\, accessibility\, and other factors may determine one’s capacity to utilize or participate in certain recovery services.  This training will explore the many pathways that people may take on their journeys to recovery.  Helpful skills and approaches to supporting individuals in recovery (e.g. motivational interviewing) will be explored.  Participants will also confront biases and stigma they may hold surrounding certain pathways of recovery in order to deepen their ability to provide holistic recovery support.     \n  \nLearning Objectives: \nParticipants will be able to… \n\nDefine recovery \nName 2-3 different pathways of recovery \nExplore the 10 different principles of recovery as defined by SAMHSA \nDiscuss impacts of intersectionality (race\, class\, gender\, etc.) on people’s ability/capacity to access recovery resources \nChallenge personal biases/stigma towards certain recovery pathways \n\n  \nThe following continuing education units (CEUs) will be offered in partnership with Adept Educational Institute: CADC/CAC\, LADC I\, LADC II\, LADC Assistant\, RN/LPN\, SW\, LMHC \nFor questions about this training\, please contact Michael Leonard at mleonard@hria.org. \nFor questions about CEUs or training logistics\, please contact Emelie Trayah at emelie@adepteducational.org. \n  \nCHECK BACK SOON FOR REGISTRATION
