SUMMARY:Listening Session: Help the Helper: Healing the System from Within Compassion Fatigue\, Postvention\, and Sustainable Provider Wellness
DESCRIPTION:This Listening Session addresses the emotional\, cognitive\, and professional impact of opioid-related crises on those working in prevention\, treatment\, and recovery\, including clinicians\, peers\, first responders\, and systems leaders. Drawing from suicide postvention frameworks and lived experience\, the session explores the invisible injuries of care work\, such as compassion fatigue\, secondary trauma\, and moral distress. Attendees will hear from colleagues who have navigated the grief and ethical ambiguity that follow overdose loss or suicide\, while also gaining insight into sustainable work-life integration practices and emotional recovery strategies. \nLearning Objectives: \n\nIdentify signs of compassion fatigue\, moral injury\, and cumulative stress among behavioral health providers and peer supporters\, with special focus on post-crisis environments (SAMHSA\, 2020).\nApply evidence-informed postvention strategies following client overdose death or suicide\, including emotional processing\, role-based protocols\, and peer support (Suicide Prevention Resource Center\, 2023).\nExplore individual and organizational practices that support sustainable work-life balance\, emotional recovery\, and retention of frontline professionals.\n\nModerator: \nBianca D. McCall\, LMFT is a retired professional women’s basketball player. She is an international TED Speaker\, and renowned mental health researcher and expert. Bianca is a licensed clinical therapist\, with 25 years in Behavioral Health\, and 12 years as a Healthcare CEO. In recent years\, she has grown significantly in the digital health space\, and created a first-of-its-kind social-emotional platform\, designed to improve human health span. \nFor more than a decade\, her work and research has been dedicated to psychological (mental) injury prevention and the discovery of innovations addressing existential isolation. Bianca is passionate about leading projects which promote ongoing research in mental injury prevention\, integration of technologies\, data analytics\, and the discovery of culturally and linguistically responsive crisis interventions. Bianca represents Nevada\, on national committees and namely the Suicide Prevention Resource Center; designated by SAMHSA\, and Steering Committee for the U.S. Department of Public Health and is a contributor to the National Strategies for Suicide Prevention in areas of Clinical Education\, Provider Standards\, and Technology. Bianca is a subject matter expert\, a curriculum developer\, and instructor in higher education with the Centers for the Application of Substance Abuse Technologies (CASAT)\, Region 9\, housed at the University of Nevada\, Reno. \nPanelists:  \nAltamit Lewis\, MS\, LCPC \nAltamit Lewis is a licensed clinical professional counselor and subject matter expert in behavioral health\, trauma-informed care\, and workforce wellness. With over 15 years of experience spanning crisis intervention\, EAP services\, and behavioral health program management\, she brings a grounded\, systems-informed perspective to the challenges faced by first responders\, healthcare workers\, and helping professionals. Altamit has led initiatives for state Medicaid programs\, military family systems\, and large healthcare organizations\, emphasizing cultural responsiveness\, emotional resilience\, and sustainable care models. \nShe currently serves as CEO of Source Energy Consultant Services and as a field-based consultant providing short-term therapy and critical incident support to USPS employees. Her work combines clinical insights with policy-level strategies. A passionate educator and facilitator\, Altamit is a published author and has led numerous workshops on mental health topics\, effective communication\, emotional intelligence\, and more. Altamit holds a Master’s in Counseling with an emphasis in Marriage and Family Therapy from the University of Nevada\, Las Vegas. She is licensed in both Nevada and Maryland. \nTrudy Gilbert-Eliot\, PhD\, LMFT\, LCADC \nTrudy Gilbert-Eliot\, PhD\, LMFT\, LCADC located in Las Vegas\, Nevada\, specializes in working with First Responders: police\, fire\, EMS\, physicians\, and other hospital personnel. She has responded to many critical incidents to debrief workers such as armed robberies\, mass shootings\, plane crash\, and officer involved shootings. She has extensively trained in Trauma including CBT\, PE\, EMDR\, CPT\, EFT\, and DBT. She provides workshops on various trauma-related topics including Secondary Trauma\, Trauma-informed Treatment\, ASAM\, Co-occurring Disorders\, and Self-Care for Clinicians. She is the author of two books: Healing Secondary Trauma and Trauma Recovery Journal. \nGabrielle Burton\, M.A. LMFT \nGabrielle Burton is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist specializing in narcissistic abuse\, spiritual abuse\, and trauma recovery. With extensive experience supporting individuals impacted by complex trauma\, Gabrielle brings a systems-informed lens to the intersection of opioid use\, relational harm\, and provider burnout. Her work recognizes that opioid addiction does not occur in isolation—it is often rooted in unresolved trauma\, attachment wounds\, coercive control dynamics\, and environments that silence pain rather than address it. Gabrielle is particularly passionate about helping healers navigate compassion fatigue\, secondary trauma\, and moral injury\, especially when working within strained or under-resourced systems. Through a trauma-informed and spiritually integrated approach\, she advocates for sustainable provider wellness that moves beyond self-care rhetoric toward structural accountability\, healthy boundaries\, and emotionally safe team cultures. Gabrielle believes that when we help the healer regulate their nervous system\, process their grief\, and reclaim their voice\, we begin healing the system from within. Her work ultimately centers on restoring dignity—to survivors\, to families impacted by opioid use\, and to the providers called to serve them.\n \nJewels Crable\, BSW\, CHW\, Outreach Coordinator \nJewels Crable completed her Bachelors of Social Work and a minor in Addiction Treatment at University of Nevada\, Reno where she excelled and received special honor from the faculty of her program. During her senior year internship at NAMI Western Nevada\, she felt at home with the Peer Work perspective and the ability to pull from her own lived experiences to help others. Having been personally impacted by mental health struggles\, substance use disorder\, suicidality\, and domestic violence\, Jewels felt instantly connected to this work. \nSince joining NAMI Western Nevada\, Jewels has been grateful to continue receiving trainings to elevate her skills and she recently added Community Health Worker to her titles. Beyond working the NAMI Warmline\, Jewels also works outreach where she joins community events in her rural county and others to offer resources and connection. She also recently began working with students from 3rd to 12th grade in Churchill County to help support their mental health needs. \nIn the future\, Jewels hopes to find the opportunity to earn her Master’s degree in Social Work and to continue to find innovative ways to serve her community and those who are working to improve their mental\, emotional\, physical\, and social wellness. \n  \nContinuing Education Units: 2 CEUs \nThis training is approved for continuing education by the boards listed here.

SUMMARY:Proceeding with Care: Reconsidering Drug Testing Protocols for Treatment Courts
DESCRIPTION:Individuals participating in treatment courts often have extensive histories of trauma\, and those with substance use and/or mental health disorders are often disproportionately impacted. Without a trauma-informed approach\, evidence-based treatment court procedures—such as drug testing—may inadvertently re-traumatize participants\, reducing the effectiveness of court interventions. \nThis webinar will examine how trauma-informed approaches to drug testing practices in treatment courts may improve participant experiences and outcomes. The presentation will explain potentially problematic practices and explore strategies for integrating trauma awareness into existing procedures\, within the framework of the Adult Treatment Court Best Practice Standards. \nLearning Objectives\n\nUnderstand the connection between traumatic experiences and potential issues that can arise with drug testing.\nRecognize what considerations may be needed to conduct safe and supportive drug testing protocols involving people with extensive histories of trauma.\nConsider trauma-informed strategies to modify or enhance existing drug testing policies and protocols for improved participant engagement and outcomes.\n\nPresenter\n\nWest Huddleston\, Chief Growth Officer\, Holon Health

SUMMARY:Tribal MAT ECHO Clinic
DESCRIPTION:A one-hour clinic will be held every third Tuesday from 12-1pm (PT). The purpose of the monthly Tribal MAT ECHO® Clinic is to support health care providers in Native communities across California to improve the delivery of evidence based treatment for opioid and stimulant use disorders. The Project Extension for Community Healthcare Outcomes (ECHO®) model is a distance learning method that links specialists at academic medical centers with primary care clinicians in local communities. Each clinic begins with a presentation on a topic relevant to the delivery of opioid and/or stimulant use disorder treatment and features a facilitated discussion of a case or clinical question. Attendees are encouraged to bring complex patient cases and clinical questions for peer-to-peer discussion with input and consultation experts. CEs and CMEs available for certified and licensed participants. This project is part of the UCLA Opioid and Stimulant Implementation Support-Training and Technical Assistance (OASIS-TTA) Program.\n\nFeatured Facilitators and Experts:\n\nHeather Momberg\, DNP RN\nDaniel Dickerson\, DO\, MPH\nKatya Adachi Serrano\, MD\nKatie Bell\, MSN\, RN-BC\nAlbert G.
