SUMMARY:Connecting the Dots: Addiction\, Trauma and Tobacco Use
DESCRIPTION:Webinar: Connecting the Dots: Addiction\, Trauma and Tobacco Use  \nJoin the National Behavioral Health Network for a webinar on Monday\, June 17th from 12 p.m.  – 1 p.m. ET for an introduction on how to effectively integrate a trauma informed approach to tobacco cessation services. Attendees will have the opportunity to hear from the National Council for Behavioral Health’s subject matter on trauma- Karen Johnson\, MSW\, LCSW. \nEvidence tells us that tobacco use is highly correlated to traumatic events in childhood. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reports that adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) are common and associated with an increased risk for smoking (Yeoman\, Safranek\, et. al\, 2013). However\, we often miss using this evidence and our growing understanding of trauma to inform our tobacco cessation efforts. Join this webinar to learn more about the connection between adverse childhood experiences and tobacco use and how a trauma-informed approach can help us to more effectively impact support tobacco cessation with individuals who have experienced trauma. \nBy the end of this webinar you will: \n\nBe aware of the connection between trauma and addictions\nBe aware of the interplay between adverse childhood events and tobacco use\nUnderstand how a trauma-informed approach can inform our tobacco cessation strategies\n\nREGISTER HERE►

SUMMARY:How Public Health and the Department of Defense Can Work Together to Improve Our Nation's Health and Security
DESCRIPTION:Presented by the National Association of Chronic Disease Directors: How Public Health and the Department of Defense Can Work Together to Improve Our Nation’s Health and Security \nGeneral Member Webinar \nThursday\, May 23\, 2019  \n3-4 p.m. ET \nRegister here now! \nDescription: \nEven if your state or territory does not have a military installation or base\, many service members live and work in your communities. And they need our help. \nDid you know that… \n\nApproximately 1 in 4 young adults are too heavy to serve in our military?\n51% of active duty personnel are overweight\, posing a significant threat to their health and their ability to perform their duties?\nAn average of 38% of current military smokers initiated tobacco use after enlisting.\n\nAs public health professionals\, we understand the burden caused by these risk factors. Many of us\, however\, have not considered outreach to the military communities in our states and territories or have been hindered in our efforts to do so because there is no clear path to working with this population. \nJoin us for May’s NACDD General Member Webinar on Thursday\, May 23rd\, at 3 p.m. in a follow-up to Captain Kimberly Elenberg’s popular plenary at this year’s Chronic Disease Academy. She will share the importance of working with this population to promote health and prevent chronic disease. \nWe’ll also hear from military personnel and peers from health departments in two states on how they’ve successfully worked together to increase the health and readiness of service members in their states. \nIt’s time to make a change in how we support these vital members of our communities. \nIntended Audience: \n\nChronic Disease and Health Promotion Directors\nChronic Disease Practitioner Network\nAll General Members who work in State Health Departments

SUMMARY:Webinar: Living in a Cloud: Adolescent Nicotine Use
DESCRIPTION:Description\nThough adolescent cigarette smoking rates have decreased over the past four decades with fewer than 1 in 25 teens reporting daily tobacco use\, e-cigarette use has increased two-fold. There are still lower rates of adolescent nicotine use overall\, but a potentially dangerous trend has emerged with the increased use of vaping. Cigarette companies are not allowed to market their products to adolescents\, but they have found other ways to create a new teen culture through the sponsorship of vaping “cloud” competitions. The purpose of this presentation is to explore the psychopharmacology of nicotine use\, the culture of vaping\, and strategies for prevention and treatment. Participants will learn how healthy factors of adolescent development add to the risk of becoming addicted to nicotine. \nREGISTER HERE \nLearning Objectives\n\nDescribe the basic psychopharmacological process of nicotine addiction.\nList at least three prevention and three treatment strategies of nicotine use (adolescent focus).\nExplain the initiation process into nicotine use (vaping and other technologies).\n\nPrice\nEducation is FREE to all professionals \nEarn Continuing Education Hours (CEs)\nIf you have watched the webinar (either live or on-demand)\, you are eligible to receive a Certificate of Completion to verify the continuing education hours you spent learning.

SUMMARY:Integrated Mental Health and Cancer Care for Individuals with Serious Mental Illness
DESCRIPTION:About this Live Interactive Webinar\nPeople with serious mental illness (SMI) die 15-30 years earlier than the general population. This mortality gap is due to cardiac health and cancer. The SMI population requires clinicians to think outside of the box and work with patients and their caregivers in a different way. This webinar will introduce a collaborative care-based model for this population and explain how this model is changing the care given to patients with SMI. Oncology social workers are on the front lines with this population and their caregivers and are often the primary support for the oncology team. \nLearning Objectives\nAt the end of the presentation\, the participant will be able to: \n\nDiscuss disparities in cancer care and research experienced by patients with serious mental illness\nIdentify best practices for the integration of mental health (social work\, psychiatry) and cancer care including new models of cancer care delivery and the role of oncology social work\nHighlight the unmet needs of the diverse family and community caregivers for patients with serious mental illness and cancer\nIdentify opportunities for dissemination beyond the academic cancer center to the community\n\nPresenters \n\n\n\nKelly Irwin\, MD\, MPH\, is a psychiatrist and health services researcher at the Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH) Cancer Center and MGH Schizophrenia Program who studies health care disparities in patients with serious mental illness (SMI) and cancer. Dr. Irwin received her MD from Harvard Medical School in 2008 and completed her residency in psychiatry at MGH and McLean in 2012. She is the founding director of the Collaborative Care and Community Engagement Program at the MGH Cancer Center\, a clinical and research initiative dedicated to achieving equity in cancer care for people with SMI. Dr. Irwin is interested in understanding why individuals with SMI\, including schizophrenia and bipolar disorder\, are twice as likely to die from cancer and in developing interventions to improve their cancer outcomes. She is a principal investigator in the Cancer Outcomes Research Program and the MGH Schizophrenia Program. Dr. Irwin’s team is conducting a series of studies focused on improving cancer outcomes throughout the continuum of cancer care for people with SMI. With funding from the American Cancer Society\, she developed and piloted an innovative model of proactive psychiatry consultation for individuals with SMI and cancer which was highlighted in an editorial in the New England Journal of Medicine. Dr. Irwin is currently conducting a randomized controlled trial (BRIDGE) to assess the impact of this intervention on cancer care. Over the past year\, Dr. Irwin was awarded funding from the Massachusetts Department of Mental Health\, the MGH Cancer Center\, and MGH Psychiatry\, to sustain and grow her research program. Dr. Irwin was recently awarded a Patient-Centered Outcomes Research Institute (PCORI) Engagement Award to launch a Cancer and Mental Health Collaborative to build a community network of diverse stakeholders to advance patient-centered research focused on cancer and SMI and create sustainable channels to disseminate research findings. \nAmy Corveleyn\, MSW\, LICSW\, is a licensed clinical social worker who sees patients at Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH) and her private practice. She has worked with cancer survivors and patients with serious mental illness and their families for 13 years. She works as a community liaison at the MGH Cancer Center\, helping patients connect with the medical and mental health care they need outside the hospital. Ms. Corveleyn is also the community liaison for the Cancer and Mental Health Collaborative\, a community network dedicated to engage diverse stakeholders to conduct patient-centered research at the intersection of cancer and mental health care. She is the social work case manager for the Collaborative Care and Community Engagement Program and Dr. Kelly Irwin’s Bridge research study at MGH\, which both aim to improve cancer outcomes for patients with cancer and serious mental illness by promoting collaboration across disciplines.\n\n\n\nContinuing Education Credits\nLevel – Intermediate\nParticipants will earn 1.5 CE credits upon successful completion of a quiz and a post-webinar evaluation. \nCourse Designation\nThis course has been approved for 1.5 Clinical continuing education clock hours. \nOutline\n12:00 p.m. – 12:15 p.m.:Discuss disparities in cancer care and research experienced by patients with serious mental illness\n12:16 p.m. – 12:31 p.m.: Identify best practices for the integration of mental health (social work\, psychiatry) and cancer care including new models of cancer care delivery and the role of oncology social work\n12:32 p.m. – 12:57 p.m.: Highlight the unmet needs of the diverse family and community caregivers for patients with serious mental illness and cancer\n12:58 p.m. – 1:13 p.m.: Identify opportunities for dissemination beyond the academic cancer center to the community\n1:14 p.m. – 1:30 p.m.: Questions and Answers \nTo register\, click here!

SUMMARY:Webinar: The Power of Collaboration: Building Cross-Sector Collaborations to End Health Disparities
DESCRIPTION:The need is clear: behavioral health providers and public health leaders must rally together to address the health disparities impacting African Americans\, a community historically underserved by tobacco control and behavioral health efforts. \nAlthough anyone can develop a mental health problem\, African Americans sometimes experience more severe forms of mental illness at a higher rate due to unmet needs\, social and structural barriers. Rates of everyday cigarette use among those with more serious mental illness is almost double that of those without serious mental illness\, and more than 72\,000 African Americans are diagnosed with a tobacco-related cancer each year. Health complications such as heart disease and stroke remain staggeringly higher than other groups. \nThat’s why the National Behavioral Health Network for Tobacco & Cancer Control is joining the Association of State and Territorial Health Officials (ASTHO) and the National African American Tobacco Prevention Network (NAATPN) for a webinar Tuesday\, May 8 at 2 p.m. ET. CDC-funded National Networks working to eliminate smoking and cancer related disparities\, community organizers and public health officials will take a deep dive into coordinated efforts across agencies to reduce tobacco-related disparities within the African American community. \nJoin us as we provide tools to create a strategy between behavioral health providers\, national networks\, community groups\, and state public health and tobacco prevention programming to support smoking cessation initiatives in your community. \nAre you ready to help lead the way? \nRegister Today!

SUMMARY:Leveraging ALA’s New Hospital Community Benefit Toolkit to Promote Tobacco Cessation Among Community Providers
DESCRIPTION:Thursday\, February 22\, 2018  \n3:00 – 4:00 PM ET  \nRegister here to receive login information \nMore than half of the hospitals in the United States are private\, nonprofit organizations that are tax-exempt.  Since 2012\, they have been required to conduct Community Health Needs Assessments (CHNA) every three years and implement a strategy to deal with issues identified by that Needs Assessment.  Data indicates that average spending by tax-exempt hospitals on community benefits has not changed much since 2012. Most hospitals have completed just one CHNA cycle and are struggling with how to have the most impact within the limits of their resources and expertise. \nThe American Lung Association believes this creates an opportunity for public health to partner and assist these hospitals. In December of 2017\, the American Lung Association released a new toolkit to provide state and local public health professionals with the tools and guidance they need to be informed and active participants in hospital Community Health Needs Assessments (CHNAs).  The toolkit provides ways to integrate tobacco into the CHNA process in a way that complements other community needs. You can view the toolkit here. \nJoin the American Lung Association to learn more about Hospital Community Benefit requirements and a new toolkit on the Hospital Community Benefit and tobacco cessation. Webinar participants will learn about the new toolkit and receive tactical\, hands-on ideas for how and why to use it. To join us\, please register here. \nFeatured Speakers  \nClaire Brockbank\, Segue Consulting \nMichele Patarino\, Segue Consulting \nFor more information\, please contact Anne DiGiulio at anne.digiulio@lung.org.  \nFor more resources on tobacco cessation policies\, please visit www.lung.or/cessationcoverage.

SUMMARY:Changing our Language to Motivate People and Systems to Change
DESCRIPTION:Wednesday\, February 21\, 2018 \n3:00-4:30 PM ET \nCLICK HERE TO REGISTER FOR THIS WEBINAR \nOur first webinar in the 2018 series will introduce participants to a strategic framework (Context – Heart – Head) that helps guide health equity-related strategy development and communications. Originally developed by the Metropolitan Group\, the Context – Heart – Head framework supports the shifting of policies\, systems and norms by connecting an issue with the existing values and worldviews of its stakeholders.  It helps users deliver ‘calls to action’ that are compelling\, well-received and acted upon. \n  \nAfter a brief introduction to the topic\, webinar participants will join facilitated breakout sessions of regionally-based groups. Here participants will apply the framework to current health equity and tobacco control program priorities. \n  \nPlease CLICK HERE to register.  Contact support@TCTCollab.com with any questions regarding this webinar.  Thank you!
