SUMMARY:The Impact of Compassion Fatigue in Peer Support Work: Workforce Multiplier Series
DESCRIPTION:Compassion Fatigue is real and prevalent for those working in the human services field or any other role that is focused on caring for others. It is now considered an organizational contagion. Its insidious quality can corrode the individual’s emotional\, mental\, and physical health. It also can destroy relationships\, family\, and career. If compassion fatigue is not recognized and addressed\, it can lead to complete burnout. This training is essential for anyone working with vulnerable populations. Many people who have chosen to work in this field have experiential expertise in trauma. This elevates the probability of developing compassion fatigue. Compassion Fatigue can be detrimental to their emotional\, physical\, and mental health. Learn about the risks\, symptoms\, and solutions to keep you healthy and balanced while you help others. Don’t let the “cost of caring” take away the very reason you came into this field. \nFor more information and registration. \nProgram provided by the Faces and Voices of Recovery (FAVOR) with support from ORN.

SUMMARY:Care Considerations for Addressing Substance Use and the Opioid Epidemic Among Older Adult Populations
DESCRIPTION:Substance Use disorders in Older Adults is a growing problem not only in the United States\, but throughout the developed world. This may be particularly relevant among people from the Baby Boomer generation\, born between 1946 and 1964. The use of an artificial cut off age of 65 years of age as the definition of elderly or old is somewhat arbitrary and this will be discussed. \nThe presentation will look at the prevalence of substance use among older people with an added focus on opioid epidemiology. It will also provide an overview for screening and identifying substance use within this population group. Additionally\, a broad biopsychosocial framework and sociohistorical lens will be utilized to analyze risk factors and vulnerabilities for substance use among older people. The presentation will conclude with care considerations that integrate psychosocial aspects of well-being and reinforce the importance of psychotherapeutic interventions. \nLearning Objectives \n\nReview the opioid epidemiology and prevalence of substance use disorders within older adult populations.\nDescribe the signs and symptoms of substance use and misuse in older people\nRecognize broader sociohistorical perspectives and apply a biopsychosocial lens for understanding risk factors for and vulnerabilities with substance use among older people.\nAssess the relevance and importance of psychotherapeutic intervention in older people\, especially integrated health solutions\, evidence-based health promotion programs\, and alternatives for pain management.\n\nPresentation Format: This session will take place in a Zoom meeting format. Participants will have access to camera and audio\, though neither is required.

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.
