In Person CE event!

Firearm injury is among the leading causes of death for Americans aged 1-45 years old, but many clinical and community organizations receive little-to-no training on how to discuss firearm access or community violence risk with patients/clients. This session aims to increase attendee knowledge, understanding, and comfort utilizing evidence-based tools and skills to implement firearm injury and mortality prevention strategies in a variety of settings to meaningfully intervene and reduce risk associated with widespread access to firearms.

OBJECTIVES

At the completion of this course, participants will be able to: 

1) Describe the disease burden of intentional (suicide, homicide) and unintentional (accidental) firearm injury and mortality on a local and national level.

2) Compare and contrast various forms of firearm injury and mortality prevention initiatives, including universal screening, hospital-based violence intervention programs, and lethal means counseling.

3) Reflect on opportunities to integrate firearm safety and violence prevention into diverse patient and/or client-facing interactions.

In-Person CE Presentation!

Chronic Pain occurs as a complicated web of emotions and physical symptoms. The most

common way to treat pain is to use opioid medications, which complicate the course of chronic

pain. For some individuals who develop dependence/ addiction to these medications,

management and treatment for their condition can become much more complex. This session

will review the interactions of pain, suffering and addiction as they interface in your clients with

suggestions for how to help them find safety through a variety of interventions and treatment.

Families are systems, so when one family member experiences challenges or changes, the rest of the system reorganizes around that change through a parallel process. We know the parallel process occurs when clients enter treatment and as families take their next steps. Working with families with one member entering residential treatment presents complexities that can be challenging for outpatient providers supporting the family before and after residential. This workshop discusses how to support individuals and their families entering residential treatment, reviews the general structure of a residential treatment program and what referring providers can expect both for the individual and the family, and explores strategies for supporting the individual and family in their next steps. Presenters will share psychoeducation, case studies, tools to integrate into daily clinical practice, and facilitate discussions to provide opportunities for peer supervision.
