The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) funded the State Opioid Response &ndash; Technical Assistance grant to the American Academy of Addiction Psychiatry in collaboration with the Addiction Technology Transfer Center (ATTC), Columbia University Division on Substance Use Disorders and a large national coalition. In response, this coalition, representing over 2 million stakeholders, created the Opioid Response Network (ORN) to provide training and address the opioid crisis.
The Opioid Response Network has local consultants in all 50 states and nine territories to respond to local needs by providing free educational resources and training to states, communities and individuals in the prevention, treatment and recovery of opioid use disorders and stimulant use.
Every organization, individual, community, state and region has unique strengths and challenges, which is why it is imperative for the Opioid Response Network to have local consultants and technology transfer specialists to work with you to meet your needs at the local level. We are here to help.

Opioid Response Network

Individuals with special health care needs are those who have or are at increased risk for a medical condition that may hinder the achievement of normal physical growth and development and who also require health and related services of a type or amount beyond that required by individuals generally. &nbsp;It is estimated that 18 million children in the United States have special health needs and an estimated 5.3 million Americans are currently living with disabilities resulting from traumatic brain injury, which is a little more than 2% of the U.S. population.

The presenter and Co-Presenter will share information on the impact of housing insecurity and homelessness has on a person's health and cognition. Next, a review of the human hierarchy of needs and the impact on a person's health, and the effectiveness of treatment when needs go unmet. We will then navigate the vast research on the Housing First Model and explain why it has become the most supported model to serve those experiencing homelessness and chronic behavioral health diagnosis. Both presenters' have years of working within the Housing First Model. With their expertise, they will present the model and bring case analysis demonstrating 'real' examples of how Housing First improves health outcomes and increases the effectiveness of any treatment.

Behavioral Health Treatment through Housing

For the last 19 years the US military has been engaged in combat operations in Iraq and Afghanistan. There have been many casualties because of these combat operations. These casualties of war left behind families that grieve their loss. This has created many young widows, a role which is traditionally thought to be at a much later stage in life. The loss of a spouse can be one of the most difficult losses to experience with far-reaching consequences. Presenters will describe finding of their study with young widows which explored how these young widows experienced the sudden traumatic loss of their spouse, explore the support systems used by these widows to cope with their loss and navigate the transition in their identity. Researchers will present findings and discuss interventions that counselors and therapists can utilize when working with this population. Preliminary findings of this research were presented at STI 2019 (very well received) and now authors return to present finding and implications upon having completed this research project.

A Review of Pharmacologic Treatment for Cocaine Use

Suicide slipped into the top ten as far as causes of death in the United States (CDC, 2016). Deaths among school-aged children and teens continue to be on the rise; so much so, that suicide has statistically risen to the second leading cause of death among people aged 10-34. Suicide traumatizes those left in its path and how to navigate the grief following a suicide is both tricky and scary. This presentation reviews precipitating factors in youth who die by suicide, as well as risk factors and red flags for youth who attempt it in hopes of informing prevention efforts moving forward. How to best screen kids for suicidality, as well as how to talk to youth who express suicidal thoughts shall also be highlighted. Additionally, this presentation covers common grief reactions in those working through the death of a loved one to suicide and how to best support those individuals.

This presentation will examine the impact of adverse childhood experiences and trauma on people of color. People of color who have experienced one of the indicators of adverse childhood experiences or trauma may be at a greater risk for physical, behavioral, and psychological concerns. This presentation will increase understanding, knowledge, and also advance health equity by providing practitioners with valuable data on a population (people of color) that has not been researched on a major basis. The presentation will also provide effective interventions that have proven to be effective in working with people of color who have been exposed to adverse childhood and traumatic experiences.

The Impact of Adverse Childhood Experiences & Trauma on Men and Women of Color

Every community contains natural or indigenous helpers--people who are sought out by friends, neighbors, and relatives because of their knack for effective problem solving and social support. More often than not, indigenous helpers are the first-line providers of informal health, social, addiction, and mental health services. Indigenous helpers represent every walk of life and the help they render is in most cases free of charge. Using an ecological framework and illustrations drawn from in-depth interviews with indigenous helpers, Dr. Memmott will discuss the impact this important human activity has on individuals, families, groups, and larger organizations. In addition, Dr. Memmot will offer tips on how to encourage and promote indigenous helping to make our communities healthier, safer, and more livable.

How to Improve Your Community: Encourage and Promote Indigenous Helping

"Ellis and Deitz (2018) discussed the addition of community and environmental factors to the familiar factors present as part of the adverse childhood experiences (ACES) framework. They put forth the idea that a greater range of social determinants of health (e.g., discrimination) contribute to developmental trauma, along with ACES, given their adverse nature. This presentation explores implications of these findings to consider updating the existing ACES questionnaire, with particular focus on additional social and community factors. Using findings from Ellis and Dietz (2018), and exploring applications of Polyvagal Theory (Dana, 2020; Porges, 2006), and the Neurosequential Model of Therapeutics (Perry &amp; Dobson, 2013), session participants will develop strategies for trauma-informed interventions in the conceptualization and treatment of discrimination-based developmental trauma among adults."

What’s My Role as a Non-Prescribing Clinician?

Women in recovery are a unique population with varying experiences. In a group setting establishing a safe space is vital to the experience of the women in the group. A facilitator of a group has an opportunity to be transparent with the group and utilize various techniques to establish a safe space. Empowerment is one component of recovery and helping the women to feel empowered and share their voice is one aspect of recovery. Techniques and opportunities used by the facilitator as well as activities with the group are one way the group can begin to feel empowered. Presenters will share from their experience how this blend of interventions works in real practice. This approach meets the unique needs of building peer relationships for collaboration and continued emphasis on trustworthiness and empowerment for women in recovery.

Women in Recovery - An Approach to Sustainable Empowerment

Over 1,100 residents die by suicide each year in Missouri. Three out of five suicide deaths in the state involve the use of a firearm - well above national average for gun suicide. Access to firearms, particularly easy access to firearms during a period of crisis or emotional despair is a key risk factor for suicide. Yet, many individuals and organizations working in suicide prevention have been uncomfortable to address firearms, given the current social and political climate in the gun right and gun violence conversations. The Safer Homes Collaborative, a grass roots, firearm-suicide prevention initiative is embracing the challenge; brining together gun owners, gun retailers, behavioral health professionals, medical providers, and suicide prevention advocates to the table to talk about how they all play a role in preventing. In this presentation, participants will learn about the Safer Homes Collaborative and how they've brought experts in firearms, suicide prevention, mental health and physical health together to work towards the shared goal of preventing firearm suicides.

Safer Homes Collaborative: Preventing firearm suicide through an unconventional collaboration of professionals

The attitude, "That's my story and I'm sticking to it," is often humorous, but in today's chaotic times it can exemplify a rigid and dysfunctional pattern that doesn't serve us well. We need more diverse stories as guides or maps to reflect on, hold us and provide meaning and resilience. Yet most of our stories of heroes or superheroes treat them as conquering and claiming something that is brought under control. So where are the stories or maps for chaotic situations that can't be conquered? Turns out there is another type of &acirc;&euro;&oelig;heroism&acirc;&euro; called the trickster that is less hyper-masculine or forceful and more relational and receptive. Trickster characters are often vilified or at least misunderstood and underestimated, but hey often do nothing less than transform or create new consciousness at many levels as they work with excesses of appetite or other emotions. In this encore presentation from last year, new stories are included with a focus on deepening the nuances within each type of story at micro and macro levels. Most stories are hundreds of years old, demonstrating a universality and resilience to all all times and places that can strengthen us today. The presenter will tell stories of heroes and tricksters from many cultures. He will compare heroes and tricksters to show how they complement each other in healing.

Diversity encompasses any dimension of differences and diverse perspectives that make each of us unique. Understanding what diversity is and how it contributes to our daily interactions amongst individuals, allows us to be one step closer to bridging gaps for minority groups. Minority groups include populations with less privilege than the average white male. It can include but is not limited to national origin, ethnicity, race, color, language, physical or mental disability, gender, age, religion and religious beliefs, sexual orientation, gender identity, veteran status, political beliefs, socioeconomic status, marital status, family structures and any other category protected by law. These differences tend to be deciding factors for access to services, jobs, promotions, and equitable treatment in our day to day lives. Many minorities experience this more often than none. Diversity is about acceptance and respect for difference. This session will focus on self of the professional and organizational policies and procedures that help create a professional climate that promotes and reflects diversity and inclusion in mental health and substance use disorder treatment and recovery support services.

Diversity & Inclusion: Increasing Access to Services for Underserved Populations

Sharing our recovery journey is beneficial to others and ourselves. When we tell our story, we encourage others and give them hope that they, too, can live full, productive, meaningful lives even while living with their disability. In the process, we remind ourselves that through the ups and downs of our journey, we have persevered, and can continue to do so. Session attendees will learn how to plan, prepare, and practice their stories. Presentation content includes: (1) choosing what to say and what not to say; (2) knowing their listeners; (3) preparing to share; (4) communicating effectively; and (5) creating a presentation. Practice exercises are provided throughout the presentation to guide individuals in the planning process. Most importantly, the presenter will encourage each person to recognize the uniqueness of their journey and the comfort and motivation they can bring to someone else who may need to hear their story.

What Can I Say?

You have been working very hard most recently through a global pandemic. You are balancing your family needs and you are working diligently to meet the demands of the people you serve. We now have over two decades of research that working in high stress, trauma-exposed professions carries risk to the staff. The level of compassion fatigue staff experience can ebb and flow from one day to the next. Even very healthy staff with optimal life/work balance and self-care strategies can experience compassion fatigue. Participants will improve their understanding of compassion fatigue, secondary trauma and burnout and will be given ten practical take-away tools, resources and strategies to include in daily self-care planning for improving health and resiliency.

Self-Care is NOT Selfish: 10 Creative Tools for Boosting Your Resiliency

This talk will describe the recent landscape of drug use and overdose deaths in Missouri, including the ever-expanding role of fentanyl in our drug supply and the increase in deaths involving stimulants like methamphetamine and cocaine. Though ongoing initiatives funded by the State Opioid Response grant have understandably continued to focus on increasing access to medical treatments for Opioid Use Disorder and opioid-related harm reduction initiatives, the necessity of greater implementation of stimulant-focused intervention strategies is clear. To that end, this presentation will provide an overview of Missouri's Contingency Management pilot programs for people with Stimulant Use Disorder, as well as harm reduction training, education, and drug checking resources designed for people who use stimulants. Additional attention will be paid to the widening racial disparities between Black and White Missourians regarding addiction treatment outcomes and overdose fatalities, including highlights of what is being done at the state and local levels to reduce deaths among those at highest-risk. Strategies for data-driven drug policy, funding, and community engagement will be highlighted.

This presentation will describe the implementation and evaluation of a continuity-of-care model in reducing suicide in adults. The program is implemented at two Certified Community Behavioral Health Clinics in the St. Louis area. Participants are primarily recruited through inpatient psychiatric hospitalizations and emergency department visits for a recent suicide attempt or suicidal ideation. The evaluation determined program effectiveness in reducing suicide attempts, hospitalizations, emergency room visits, and suicidal ideation at 3- and 6-months post intake.

Effectiveness of a Suicide Prevention Follow-up Program Linking Hospitals and Mental Health Care Providers in St. Louis and Kansas City, Missouri

Women of color are often misunderstood when they speak from the heart. The passion that women of color exhibit is often misconstrued as anger, negative attitudes, and defensive. As a result, they are often isolated and ostracized for voicing their opinions. Therefore, creating the "Angry Black Woman Syndrome" narrative. Women of color often feel disconnected from their white counterparts and each other in the workplace and other predominantly white spaces. In this workshop, we will discuss the importance of establishing healthy relationships with other women of color and connecting with white allies. Overall, this will be a very candid and open workshop to explore overcoming the "Angry Black Woman Syndrome" narrative.

Surviving the Angry Black Woman Syndrome

This presentation helps attendees to understand how complex trauma, attachment and developmental wounds, and eating behaviors are correlated.

During this panel discussion you will learn everything you need to know to be ready for 988. In July 2020, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) designated 988 as the new three-digit crisis number for the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline (NSPL). By July of 2022, all telecommunications companies will have to make the necessary changes and be ready to go live. 988 will be promoted Nationwide as the three-digit helpline for all mental health and suicide crises. Missouri has 7 active NSPL members. These call centers have trained staff to answer calls from individuals at risk for suicide as well as those experiencing other mental health and substance use related emergencies, as well as connection to ongoing services. 988 will transform our current crisis system of care nationwide and Missouri is actively preparing our system to align and provide the most evidence-based practices for a comprehensive continuum of care.
