SUMMARY:Compassion as a Change Agent in Recovery
DESCRIPTION:Research has highlighted several important benefits to compassion-focused interventions\, including improved outcomes in recovery-focused mental health services (Austin\, Drossaert & Bohlmeijer\, 2023; Mavituna et. al\, 2023; Spandler & Stickley\, 2011)\, reduction in internalized stigma and decrease in stigmatizing views of mental health treatment (Chan\, Tsui\, & Tang\, 2023; Glazer\, Oleson\, Campoverde\, & Berenson 2023; Riebel et. al\, 2023)\, and effectiveness in treating individuals living with Serious Mental Illness (SMI) (Heriot-Maitland\, et. Al\, 2025; Mavituna et. al\, 2023; Rivera\, Fuentes-Ferrada\, Krogh\, & Langer\, 2023). Education and training on compassion-focused interventions exists in VA\, however such resources are underutilized\, creating a learning gap around these resources and compassion-focused interventions. \nThe purpose of this live\, virtual\, knowledge-based training is to help bridge the learning gap for interprofessional healthcare teams by discussing the benefits for infusing compassion into work with Veterans\, as well as sharing information about VA resources for further training and education on compassion-focused interventions. Participants will learn about Mindfulness Self Compassion (MSC) and Compassion Focused Therapy (CFT)\, and compassion will be highlighted as a change agent in psychosocial recovery. Participants will also have the opportunity to participate in a brief MSC experiential practice. \nAudience: The primary target audience for this activity consists of Physicians\, Nurses\, Nurses\, Pharmacists\, Psychologists\, Social Workers and Certified Counselors. The secondary target audience consists of peer support specialists. \nModality: Virtual Conference \nCredit/Hours: 2.25 credit hours \nAccreditations: ACCME/ACCME-NP\, ANCC/CA BRN\, ACPE\, APA/NYSED-P\, ASWB/NYSED-SW\, NBCC\, JA IPCE \nPlease be advised that there is a strict 15-day cut-off to request your CEUs. \nAttendees must confirm your attendance in TMS after the webinar and complete the course evaluation in TMS NO LATER THAN SEPTEMBER 10\, 2025 to receive CEUs. \nAttendees must also complete RedCap: https://varedcap.rcp.vaec.va.gov/redcap/surveys/?s=XC8JJY74E8DLYYD9 \nAssistance with TMS Contact your local TMS administrator. \nProgram Questions: Ross.Melter2@va.gov \nILEAD POCs: Dawn.Palmer3@va.gov or Michaelle.Nascimento@va.gov \nThis course is jointly offered by the VISN21 – Sierra Pacific Network and the Institute for Learning\, Education and Development (ILEAD). You received this announcement because of your likely interest in the content of the specific offering. Please forward this note to other VHA employees who might also be interested in this learning opportunity. \nThe Veterans Health Administration Institute for Learning\, Education\, and Development partners with clients in VHA’s program offices\, Veterans Integrated Service Networks\, and facilities to provide quality workforce education and training that facilitates excellence in health care for our nation’s Veterans. To learn more about ILEAD\, click hereFor customer assistance\, visit the ILEAD Help Center

SUMMARY:Every Second Counts: Recognizing and Responding to Opioid Overdose
DESCRIPTION:This webinar presentation is designed to provide essential knowledge about harm reduction and skills to prevent opioid overdose deaths. We will explore how we got here and current drug supply trends\, including the prevalence of synthetic opioids\, contamination with potent analogs\, and emerging substances contributing to increased overdose risk. \nThe presentation will also highlight Good Samaritan laws\, explaining legal protections for individuals who assist during an overdose emergency. Participants will learn to recognize the signs and symptoms of an opioid overdose\, such as slowed breathing\, unresponsiveness\, and discoloration\, and understand how to differentiate these from other medical conditions. \nFinally\, provide step-by-step instruction on how to respond to an overdose\, including the administration of naloxone (Narcan)\, rescue breathing\, and aftercare until emergency services arrive. The training aims to empower individuals—whether community members\, professionals\, or people who use drugs—to act confidently and effectively in life-saving situations. \nLearning Objectives: \nAt the end of the webinar\, attendees will be able to \n\nUnderstand how opioid revival medication supports a harm reduction strategy and consider the role of stigma and personal bias in drug poisoning prevention.\nUnderstand how to obtain and administer naloxone. Participants will understand how opioid revival medication works and how to access kits in their states/territories\n\nPresenters:\nScott Walters\, PhD\, and Morgan Green\, MA \nQuestions? \nContact PS ROTA-R staff at psrotar@casat.org. \nContinuing Education: \nThis webinar has been approved for 1.5 continuing education hours through the International Certification & Reciprocity Consortium (IC&RC) and the National Board for Certified Counselors (NBCC) ACEP No. 6492.
