SUMMARY:Diversity Dialogue: Unconscious Linguistic Bias
DESCRIPTION:Unconscious Linguistic Bias: Innovative Psycholinguistic-Based Strategies to Dramatically Increase the Representation of Minority Executives in Leadership and Governance Positions\nWednesday\, September 27\, 1:00 – 2:30 p.m. ET // Noon – 1:30 p.m. CT // 10:00 – 11:30 p.m. ET \nREGISTER HERE. \nOverview: Unconscious linguistic bias affects us all\, though we do not have these biases intentionally. There are many negative consequences of linguistic bias\, however\, and they contribute to why minority candidates are not well-represented in higher-level executive positions. Dr. Latterman combines psycholinguistic\, sociolinguistic\, and social psychological principles to enable leaders to uncover these biases and to help prevent unconscious linguistic bias from unintentionally affecting decision-making. In this webinar\, she will provide participants with nuanced\, research-based strategies designed to help mitigate the effects of unconscious linguistic bias. This will allow organizations to more easily and successfully diversify their leadership and governance teams. \n  \nLearning Objectives: \n\nUnderstand what linguistic bias is and how it can negatively affect our decisions\nDiscover the connections between how leaders sound and their upward trajectory\nLearn concrete strategies\, designed to increase the representation of minority executives in the highest-level leadership positions\, that can begin to be implemented immediately\n\n  \n\n\n\n\nFeatured Speaker: Caroline Latterman\, Ph.D.\, M.S.Ed.\, Founder\, Linguistic Consulting. \nClick here for Caroline’s biography. \nPrice: Complimentary for Institute members\, $99 for non-Institute members.

SUMMARY:Effective Treatment Options for Co-Occurring Webinar: Nicotine Dependence\, E-Cigarettes and Marijuana Use
DESCRIPTION:Date: Monday\, September 25\, 2017\, 2-3:30pm EST  \nSpeaker: Chad Morris\, PhD\, Professor of Psychiatry and Director of the Behavioral Health & Wellness Program at the University of Colorado- School of Medicine \nREGISTER HERE. \nThe risks of tobacco use are widely known\, but we know less about the intersection of marijuana use and e-cigarettes\, or electronic nicotine delivery systems (ENDS.)

This presentation will include information about what we know and don’t know about the intersection of nicotine dependence\, marijuana\, and e-cigarette use\, as well as the potential benefits of simultaneously addressing all three with the people you serve. \nDuring this webinar\, participants will learn about: \n\nThe prevalence of nicotine dependence\, e-cigarettes\, and marijuana use\nEffective treatment strategies for co-occurring marijuana and nicotine addiction\nEfforts to create a national dialogue on the intersection of nicotine dependence\, marijuana\, and e-cigarette use\n\nChad Morris\, Ph.D. is a psychologist and Professor of Psychiatry at the University of Colorado School of Medicine. He is committed to studying the chronic and modifiable behaviors that lead to unnecessary morbidity and mortality among at risk populations\, particularly tobacco use. In 2006\, he created the Behavioral Health & Wellness Program which is a multidisciplinary center of excellence for public policy\, research\, training\, and clinical care. Dr. Morris has been the principal investigator for over 20 psychosocial and pharmacological tobacco cessation studies across the lifespan. He has worked with over 40 states to foster sustainable whole health and tobacco control initiatives for priority populations including individuals with mental illnesses and addictions\, justice involved individuals\, persons who are homeless\, pregnant and new mothers\, and youth.

SUMMARY:No Menthol Sunday-May 28\, 2017
DESCRIPTION:No Menthol Sunday is on May 28th – a time to raise awareness of the addictiveness of menthol and push for a ban on menthol in tobacco products. \n  \nPlease see below for related resources and a script that faith-based organizations\, communities\, colleagues and other individuals can use to spread the word: \n  \n                –No Menthol Sunday toolkit – with materials and ideas on observing No Menthol Sunday. \n                –Pathways to Freedom – documentary-style video used as a cessation tool for the African American community  \n                -Encourage friends\, family and colleagues to post pictures and stories of how they are observing No Menthol Sunday (to @blackbodyhealth).  Using #nomentholsunday or #NMS2017 enters them into a drawing to win $50 \n  \nNeed a quick and easy plan for No Menthol Sunday? Just use the script below for your Sunday morning church announcement\, then direct your congregants to call the national 1-800-Quit-Now. \n  \nToday is No Menthol Sunday\, and we would like to take time to talk about becoming a healthier community by quitting smoking.\n\nSmoking kills 47\,000 African Americans per year. That’s more than homicides\, suicides\, AIDS\, and car accidents combined. \nMost youth and African Americans who smoke choose menthols because the minty flavor helps make it easier to start smoking — it also makes it harder to quit smoking. The tobacco industry intentionally tries to get African Americans to smoke menthols by advertising to us more and making menthols cheaper in certain neighborhoods. This isn’t right. A ban on the sale of menthol would help encourage many African Americans to quit smoking. That can help save lives. \nIf you are a smoker but haven’t talked to anyone about it\, now is the time. We can’t lose another life to tobacco\, and we can’t lose you. Let us love you and support you as we all become healthier together. \nWe want to take time today to pray with you because we know it is hard to quit smoking and can take several tries before quitting for good. \nYou also encourage you to call 1-800-QUIT-NOW for free resources and coaching. Feel free to ask me more about how we can create a menthol free community. \n  \nFor more information visit \n
