SUMMARY:Nevada Black Maternal Health Week - Maternal Wellness Walk & Kinship Cookout
DESCRIPTION:Black Maternal Health Week is a national initiative to build awareness\, activism\, and community around Black maternal health in the US. Black women\, regardless of social or economic status\, are 2 to 3 times more likely to die from pregnancy-related causes than white\, Hispanic\, or Asian/Pacific Islander women. In Nevada\, overdose is a leading cause of these deaths. Stigma\, limited access to care\, and systemic inequities put Black women at higher risk. Nevada Black Maternal Health Week is a chance to raise awareness\, share resources\, and support families. \nJoin us this Saturday\, April 12\, 2025\, at Aliante Nature Discovery Park for a day of movement\, food\, and fellowship. The Maternal Wellness Walk will promote advocacy and community care\, followed by the 2nd Annual Kinship Cookout featuring vendors\, entertainment\, and resources for Black maternal health and healing. \nRegister and learn more at https://bit.ly/NVBMHW25

SUMMARY:The Intersection of Gambling and Opioid Use Disorder
DESCRIPTION:Approximately 96% of persons with an identified Gambling Disorder have another co-occurring behavioral health condition\, and it is often the co-occurring condition that brings the person with problems related to gambling into treatment.  Evidence further suggests that only those with the most severe gambling disorder symptoms will ever seek treatment. Gambling Disorder is often a hidden addiction when it is not addressed in combination with other behavioral therapies.  This training will explore evidenced based gambling screening tools that can be implemented into treatment to help identify potential harms to ongoing recovery from opioid use disorders. \nLearning Objectives: \n\nIncrease awareness of the potential harms related to gambling\, the impact on the family and importance of financial wellness.\nUnderstand the connection between gambling and other substance use and addictive disorders and how problematic gambling may affect treatment outcomes\nIdentify evidenced based gambling screening tools\, ways to integrate gambling conversations into your practice\, and resources to support recovery.\n\nPresented by: Kristen Beall\, LCSW-C\, ICGC-II\, CAC-AD\, Clinical Manager\, Maryland Center of Excellence on Problem Gambling\, University of Maryland School of Medicine \nKristen provides consultation and practical assistance to organizations and private practitioners integrating evidenced based gambling screening\, ongoing assessment\, and gambling related treatment into their current practice.  With 20+ years of clinical experience\, Kristen is dedicated to connecting persons in the community and professionals to local gambling resources to aid in those seeking recovery and wellness. She is dedicated to helping professionals throughout Maryland understand the impact gambling can have on co-occurring disorders\, medical conditions\, and psychosocial factors.  Kristen has a passion for working with persons affected by gambling related harms and providing education to other health professionals to increase awareness of this often\, hidden addiction. \nContinuing Education Units: 2 CEUs \nThis training is approved for continuing education by the boards listed here. \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.
