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.

SUMMARY:Caregiver Involvement in Adolescent Substance Use Treatment: Core Principles and Applied Techniques
DESCRIPTION:Caregiver involvement in adolescent substance use treatment is consistently linked to better outcomes. This presentation will summarize parenting practices that raise or lower adolescents’ risk for opioid\, stimulant\, and other substance use\, describe the mechanisms through which caregivers can both amplify and reduce that risk\, and present the primary targets of caregiver-focused interventions using a core-elements framework for family therapy. Additionally\, concrete\, evidence-informed techniques to engage caregivers in treatment and to structure productive family discussions during sessions will be reviewed. By the end of the talk\, attendees will understand why caregivers are a critical influence on youth substance use\, how parental behaviors and family processes shape risk\, and practical strategies to increase caregiver engagement and support positive treatment outcomes. \nFor more information and registration. \nFunding for this initiative was made possible (in part) by grant no. 1H79TI088037 from SAMHSA.

SUMMARY:Medetomidine Impacts on Clinical Management and Systems of Care
DESCRIPTION:Medetomidine\, a highly potent veterinary alpha-2 adrenergic agonist\, has recently emerged as a significant adulterant within the U.S. illicit opioid supply.

SUMMARY:Supporting Behavioral Health Providers: Creating Postvention Strategies for Healing After Losing a Client to Suicide
DESCRIPTION:A film and discussion exploring the emotional impact of suicide and overdose loss and the path to healing for providers.\nThis special event combines a film screening with guided discussion to explore the shared emotional\, professional\, and systemic impacts of losing a client to suicide ornopioid overdose. Adapted from materials developed by the Suicide Prevention Resource Center (SPRC)\, the session provides behavioral health providers and administrators with practical postvention strategies to support healing\, resilience\, and professional recovery following client loss. \nThrough brief video segments and facilitated dialogue\, participants will examine the parallels between suicide loss and overdose loss\, discuss evidence-informed postvention strategies\, and share experiences from the field. The event will also highlight clinical and community resources available through the Nevada Opioid Center of Excellence (NOCE) and SPRC to help providers and organizations respond with compassion\, structure\, and self-awareness in the aftermath of loss. \n  \nLearning Objectives: \nBy the end of this presentation behavioral health providers and administrators will: \n\nGain a greater understanding in how to implement actionable emotional\, professional and organizational postvention strategies (knowledge).\nUnderstand what evidenced-based postvention strategies may help them increase their recovery after a client suicide loss and opioid overdose (knowledge).\nFeel more prepared to process a client suicide loss and parallel experiences with opioid overdose (attitudes/beliefs).\nFeel better able to make evidenced-based decisions on postvention strategies after a client suicide loss and opioid overdose (attitude/beliefs).\nApply their knowledge as part of their postvention strategies and incorporate it into their prevention efforts (behaviors).\n\n  \nPresented by: Bianca D.

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.
