SUMMARY:Healing through Culture: Restoring Balance and Wellness in Native Communities
DESCRIPTION:This 2‑hour virtual training explores culture as a primary medicine in Native communities and as a key foundation for effective opioid‑related prevention\, treatment\, and recovery support. Using the Medicine Wheel as a practical framework\, we’ll braid Indigenous ways of knowing with current neuroscience\, ACEs/NEAR science\, and what we now understand about nervous systems and brain health. \nWe’ll look at how historical and ongoing trauma have impacted wellness\, help‑seeking\, and engagement in SUD/OUD services—and how cultural strengths such as kinship\, ceremony\, story\, and connection to land can guide more effective\, less stigmatizing care with Native communities across Nevada. \nLearning Objectives\nBy the end of this training\, participants will be able to: \n\nDescribe at least three ways historical and intergenerational trauma have impacted wellness\, help‑seeking\, and engagement in behavioral health and SUD/OUD services in Native communities in Nevada.\nIdentify at least three cultural strengths (e.g.\, kinship\, language\, ceremony\, land connection) that support nervous system regulation\, brain health\, and readiness to engage in care\, including opioid‑related services.\nExplain how a Medicine Wheel framework can be used to organize care around emotional\, physical\, mental\, and spiritual dimensions—while respecting tribal specificity and sovereignty.\nName at least two practical strategies for: Building therapeutic alliance with Native/tribal clients\, and Reducing stigma and barriers to accessing opioid‑related and behavioral health services.\n\nIntended Audience: Behavioral health providers\, healthcare providers\, peer support specialists\, community health workers\, and others working with tribal communities in Nevada\, with particular relevance for rural and tribal partners. \nPresentation Format: This session will take place in a Zoom meeting format.

SUMMARY:Permission to Grieve: A Guide to Coping with Uncomfortable Feelings in Native Contexts
DESCRIPTION:This 2‑hour virtual training centers grief\, loss\, and complex emotions in Native communities—and in the lives of helpers themselves—in the context of ongoing trauma\, overdose deaths\, and substance use. Blending Indigenous trauma science\, grief practices\, and Western neuroscience (such as the window of tolerance and nervous system responses)\, we will focus on both provider wellness and usable skills. \nParticipants will explore the difference between trauma‑informed and healing‑centered approaches\, and will leave with concrete co‑regulation tools and grief‑aware practices they can bring into their work with Native communities in Nevada\, including conversations about opioid use\, treatment\, and recovery. \nLearning Objectives\nBy the end of this training\, participants will be able to: \n\nDifferentiate between trauma‑informed and healing‑centered approaches to grief in Native communities\, particularly in the context of overdose deaths and substance‑related losses.\nDescribe how grief and historical trauma can show up in bodies\, emotions\, behaviors\, and relationships for Indigenous clients and for providers themselves—and how this impacts engagement in opioid‑related services.\nIdentify at least two concrete practices they can use to co‑regulate with clients (and themselves) during times of grief\, crisis\, or emotional overwhelm\, including when discussing opioid use and treatment options.\nDevelop at least one realistic commitment for integrating grief‑aware\, culturally grounded practices into their work settings to support both client healing and provider sustainability in opioid‑related and behavioral health work.\n\nIntended Audience: Behavioral health providers\, healthcare providers\, peer support specialists\, community health workers\, and others working with tribal communities in Nevada\, with particular relevance for rural and tribal partners. \nPresentation Format: This session will take place in a Zoom meeting format.

SUMMARY:Introduction to Treating Patients with Buprenorphine for Primary Care Providers
DESCRIPTION:The Overdose Prevention Engagement Network (OPEN) at the University of Michigan is a multidisciplinary team committed to improving lives and reducing harms of substance use. Through partnership with individuals\, communities\, and organizations\, OPEN provides education and resources to strengthen person-centered prevention\, treatment\, and recovery efforts.  OPEN has graciously extended a warm invitation to Indian Country providers to participate in their virtual trainings and webinar series throughout 2026 (and beyond). These sessions offer timely\, clinically relevant content that can be applied across care settings\, with CE credits available. \nDuring May 2020–April 2021\, the estimated number of drug overdose deaths in the United States exceeded 100\,000 over a 12-month period for the first time. Medications for Opioid Use Disorder (MOUD)\, like Buprenorphine\, methadone\, and naltrexone have been proven to reduce overdose and death\, and providers that hold a DEA license with Schedule III Authority can prescribe Buprenorphine. Ensuring prescribers have the knowledge to initiate MOUD is imperative to helping patients with opioid use disorder. \nLearning Objectives:\n\nUnderstand the basics of the neurobiology of addiction\nUnderstand the basic pharmacodynamics of buprenorphine\nDescribe the diagnosis\, intake\, and buprenorphine induction of a patient with OUD.\nUnderstand how to manage acute and chronic pain for patients with opioid use disorder with a specific emphasis on using buprenorphine for pain management\nDescribe key principles in the outpatient management of patients with OUD\n\nPresenters:\n\nChris Frank\, MD\, Ph.D.\nEliza Hutchinson\, MD\, FASM\n\nWho should take this training:\n\nPhysicians\nNurse Practitioners\nPhysician Assistants\n\n4 CME Credits (4.0 hours)\n\nMeets DEA Training Requirements\n\nThis activity has been planned and implemented in accordance with the accreditation requirements and policies of the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education (ACCME) through the joint providership of MyMichigan Health and OPEN: Overdose Prevention Engagement Network. MyMichigan Health is accredited by the Michigan State Medical Society (MSMS) to provide continuing medical education for physicians. MyMichigan Health designates this live activity for a maximum of 1 AMA PRA Category Credit(s)TM . Physicians should claim only the credit commensurate with the extent of their participation in the activity.
