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►

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

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!
