SUMMARY:Governor Mills 2nd Annual Opioid Response Summit Compassion\, Community\, Connection
DESCRIPTION:Governor Janet Mills will host her second Opioid Response Summit on Thursday\, July 23. The annual summit is part of the state’s commitment to fighting the opioid epidemic\, and convenes leaders from around Maine to share ideas\, strategies\, and best practices to help Maine people affected by this crisis. \nThis year’s event\, originally scheduled for the Cross Insurance Center in Bangor\, is being held virtually to allow for safe participation of attendees during the COVID19 Pandemic. The full-day program will feature live presentations with discussion\, poster sessions\, and prerecorded panel discussions\, with the voices of persons in recovery featured prominently again this year. \nThe summit’s theme\, “Compassion\, Community\, Connection\,” reflects the personal and societal challenges of substance use disorder and the conditions needed to advance and support recovery. \nDr. Vivek Murthy\, 19th Surgeon General of the United States and author of Together: The Healing Power of Human Connection in a Sometimes Lonely World\, will deliver a fireside chat. Dr. Murthy issued the first Surgeon General’s Report that called for expanded access to prevention and treatment and recognizing addiction as a chronic illness rather than a moral failing. The first 550 registrations will receive a free hardcover copy of Together. One book per unique registration. \nThe conversations will continue following the summit with registrants having access to online content and monthly events featuring Maine presenters focusing on prevention\, treatment strategies\, voices of recovery\, and emerging issues. \nRegister Here

SUMMARY:Guiding Implementation Fidelity to Improve Adoption of Youth Substance Abuse Prevention Programs
DESCRIPTION:The Stages of Implementation Completion (SIC) is an 8-staged measure of implementation process and milestones. Data collected using the SIC has generated a large repository of both successful and non-successful real-world implementation efforts\, allowing for robust analyses and generation of models for paths for implementation success. These models currently are being used to inform a randomized clinical trial evaluating the benefit of adding audit-and-feedback to inform purveyor-site interactions in the real-world adoption of evidence-based youth substance abuse prevention programs. \nPresenter information: \nLisa Saldana\, PhD\nSenior Scientist\nOregon Social Learning Center \nDr. Saldana is an implementation scientist and intervention developer. Her research emphasizes the development of implementation tools and strategies to measure and facilitate implementation of evidence-based practice in real-world settings. Her intervention research has focused on the development of evidence-based programs for the treatment of parental substance abuse in the child welfare system. \nZoom connection information:\nPhone: US: +1 646 558 8656 or +1 669 900 6833\nClick to join Zoom Meeting\nMeeting ID: 552 573 565

SUMMARY:‘Uncomfortable’ is not enough: Integrating antiracism within addiction treatment
DESCRIPTION:About the Presentation: Racism in the U.S. contributes to health\, mental health\, and substance misuse disparities among People of Color (POC) compared with White people. Despite entering into addiction treatment with a greater severity of substance misuse and related consequences\, POC experience more barriers to treatment engagement\, completion\, and satisfaction than their White counterparts. As addiction treatment providers function within the context of multiple interlocking institutions embedded in racist policies\, addiction treatment must interrogate its positioning on racism. This presentation articulates a need to implement an antiracist framework for addiction treatment. It aims to provide specific recommendations for institutions\, clinicians\, and scholars associated with the addiction treatment field to move beyond discomfort and into antiracist action. \nAbout the Presenter:  Dr. Sara Matsuzaka is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. She received a Bachelor of Arts from Tufts University\, a Master of Social Work from Florida Atlantic University\, and a Doctor of Philosophy from Fordham University\, Graduate School of Social Sciences. As a clinician\, she has worked in a variety of inpatient and outpatient addiction and mental health treatment settings. As an academic\, her research examines the relationships between multi-level manifestations of power and oppression\, intersectionality\, and social inequities among diverse LGBTQ+ populations. \nJoin Zoom Meeting \nhttps://dartmouth.zoom.us/j/917171674?pwd=WVpBSUFCSkNKeDNCU1M4TGFjZXRudz09 \nMeeting ID: 917 171 674 \nPasscode: 732457

SUMMARY:Deconstructing Unconscious Bias in Behavioral Health Care
DESCRIPTION:Description: Behavioral health disparities reflect the lack of access to quality care for specific populations. Despite notable efforts to address inequitable outcomes\, research suggests that race and ethnicity are predictors of how services are delivered\, and unconscious bias is one component that has been identified as influencing the provision of poor care. With the steady rise of the US population and the expected increase in communities of color\, the need to address behavioral health disparities has never been more urgent. This first session of the four-part series will discuss how cognitive bias develops\, how it is sustained by intrinsic and environmental factors\, and how it contributes to inequitable outcomes for persons of color in behavioral health care. \nLearning Objectives:\n• List components of cognitive development\n• Identify links between positive and negative mental processes\, and culturally and linguistically appropriate services in behavioral health care \nRegister Here

SUMMARY:Making the Case to Identify Not Blame: Deconstructing Unconscious Bias in Behavioral Health Care Series
DESCRIPTION:Description: Building off the psychological framework of unconscious bias as discussed in the first session\, this second presentation will review and inform on how unconscious bias is reflected in words\, communications\, and relations toward persons of color through case scenarios reflecting its impact in the addiction\, mental health\, and prevention settings. The elusiveness of cognitive bias underscores provider assumptions and perceptions and affect judgment that lead to prejudice\, micro-aggressions\, and even discriminatory practices in care. The discussion will also identify commonly experienced pressures of personal and ‘on the job’ stress\, and other bias risk factors that affect decision making\, interactions and client/patient outcomes in behavioral health. \nLearning Objectives:\n• Identify how unconscious biases are not limited to race and can exist for characteristics such as gender\, age\, sexual orientation\, gender identity\, disability status\, etc.\n• Identify how assumptions and stigma impact communications and rapport building.\n• List behavioral health (one of each) examples of how stereotypes lead to inequitable care. \nRegister Here
