SUMMARY:Community of Practice: Integrating Addiction Treatment Services Into Primary Care
DESCRIPTION:Description:\nWith their training in whole-person care\, primary care providers are often the first providers to witness how addiction – to tobacco\, alcohol\, and other substances – complicates their patients’ mental and physical condition. Yet primary care providers often have many questions about how to manage substance use disorders (SUDs) in their health center practice. This eight-session Community of Practice (CoP) will guide HRSA-supported health center staff to integrate SUD services into their primary care setting. Grounded in the belief that addiction treatment is a fundamental part of whole-person care\, CoP participants will learn from addiction medicine experts and health center colleagues about building shared language around addiction; forming a high-performing addiction/integration treatment team; evaluating and administering screening tools; next steps after a positive SUD screening; managing referrals; and sustaining their health center SUD program. This CoP will provide health centers the opportunity to learn about and exchange effective strategies to provide impactful\, team-based addiction care. \nBehavioral health professionals may earn one continuing education credit for attending each CoP session. \nObjectives:\nAt the end of this CoP\, participants will be able to: \n\nApply communication techniques for discussing addiction with patients\, colleagues\, and co-providers.\nOutline how to create a high-performing addiction integration team.\nEvaluate processes for SUD screening\, assessment\, treatment\, and referrals.\nUse a Plan\, Do\, Study\, Act continuous process model to build sustainability into addiction integration programs.\n\n1:00 – 2:00 PM ET Every other Thursday until February 5\, 2026 (with a two-week holiday break)\n2:00 – 2:30 p.m. ET optional office hours\n

SUMMARY:What Does NOT Work in Prevention
DESCRIPTION:Many trainings and resources focus on what research has shown to be effective at preventing substance misuse. However\, we also know through research what is NOT effective in preventing substance misuse and in some cases is harmful. Yet communities across the nation continue to implement these ineffective and sometimes counterproductive strategies. The focus of this webinar will be on identifying these ineffective approaches. We will also spend time discussing strategies prevention professionals can use to address the resistance often expressed by individuals and organizations reluctant to change long- standing\, well-liked prevention practices. \nLearning Objectives:\nBy the end of this training\, participants will be able to: \n\nIdentify at least 5 interventions that have been shown through research to NOT be effective in\npreventing substance misuse\nList evidence-based approaches that can be used as effective alternatives to the\nineffective/counterproductive strategies\nDescribe strategies to address resistance to discontinuing ineffective and/or counterproductive\nprevention strategies\n\nPresented by:\nBritany Wiele\, CPS\, is a Senior Project Coordinator for Workforce Development at the Center for the Application of Substance Abuse Technologies (CASAT) in the School of Public Health at the University of Nevada\, Reno (UNR). In this role\, she serves as a Training and Technical Assistance Specialist for SAMHSA’s Pacific Southwest Prevention Technology Transfer Center\, strengthening the prevention workforce across HHS Region 9. She also provides prevention-focused technical assistance through the Nevada Opioid Center of Excellence and advances UNR’s campus-based prevention priorities as a project coordinator for the Strategic Prevention Framework–Partnerships for Success (SPF-PFS) grant. \nAs a Certified Prevention Specialist\, Britany brings extensive experience in community collaboration and implementation of the Strategic Prevention Framework. Prior to joining CASAT\, she led prevention initiatives at Join Together Northern Nevada\, where she developed youth and adult programming\, implemented evidence-based strategies\, and fostered cross-sector partnerships. \nCertificates of Attendance\nParticipants will receive a Certificate of Attendance for 1.5 hours for participating in the live webinar event. \nQuestions?\nPlease contact Tyler Dean (tdean@casat.org) for any questions related to registration. For any other questions\, please contact Britany Wiele (bwiele@casat.org).\n\n  \nFunding for this activity was made possible in whole or in part by the Nevada Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) Director’s Office through the Fund for a Resilient Nevada\, established in Nevada Revised Statutes 433.712 through 433.744.
