SUMMARY:NeC-ROTAC Webinar - Stress on the Farm: Understanding and Addressing the Stress and Suicide Risk in Farmers
DESCRIPTION:Farmers experience very high levels of stress\, triggered by stressors such as uncertain weather\, uncertain finances\, unpredictable input costs and commodity prices\, changing policies and tariffs\, exhaustion\, social isolation\, high risk of injury\, and more recently\, the COVID-19 pandemic. These high levels of stress can increase the risks of health problems\, substance misuse\, and suicide. Providing support to farmers for stress management and wellbeing can be challenging. Values such as stoicism and stigma around help-seeking make it difficult for farmers to admit when they are struggling with stress. This webinar will provide information on suicide and substance misuse rates in farmers\, discuss stress and its impact\, review simple strategies for stress management\, and provide an overview of an Extension-based intervention to address farmer stress.  \n Trainer: Anna Scheyett\, PhD\, MSW\, LCSW\, is professor and former dean at the University of Georgia School of Social Work with a joint appointment in the College of Agricultural and Environmental Sciences. Dr. Scheyett’s research examines community well-being of vulnerable populations\, including individuals with mental illness and rural populations at risk of stress and suicide.  \nFor more information\, click here. \n

SUMMARY:SSW Webinar: Addiction and Recovery 2023: Where We Have Been\, Where We Are Going
DESCRIPTION:This course examines how the field of addiction treatment and recovery has evolved since the development of 12-step recovery spaces in the 1950’s\, from societal conceptualizations about addiction to how treatment and evidence-based practices have shaped what we now call clinical addiction treatment. Particular attention will be paid to how paradigms\, stigma\, and oppressive systems have influenced and shaped addiction and treatment trends. Participants will critically examine the successes and pitfalls of addiction treatment as it stands today\, including specific models and systems of recovery and what the field calls “evidence-based practices”. Special attention will be paid to how the fields of neuroscience\, epigenetics\, and neuropharmacology have informed what we know today about addiction\, and what it means for integrative recovery strategies moving forward. \nInstructor: Katherine Glick\, MEd\, LPC\, LCADC\, ACS\, CMH \nFor more information and registration: click here

SUMMARY:SSW Webinar: The Opioid Crisis in NJ: Current Trends and Evidence-Based Treatment Options
DESCRIPTION:This interactive webinar will discuss the latest developments and trends regarding natural opiates\, semi-synthetic opioids\, and synthetic opioids. Participants will be able to identify national and local NJ trends with regards to prescribing practices and new legislation\, opioid overdoses and trends with opioid use. Participants will be able to distinguish the difference between which drugs are considered naturally occurring opiates\, which are considered semi-synthetic opioids and which are considered synthetic opioids. Participants will be introduced into the assessment of and treatment of Opioid Use Disorders via the DSM 5 criteria\, the latest nationally recognized medicated assisted treatment and the non-medication assisted treatment approaches when working with clients. Participants will be able to identify three different medicated assisted treatments (MAT)\, and discussion of medicinal marijuana being added as an MAT option. Webinar participants will be introduced to a harm reduction treatment paradigm and will be able to identify at least 3 different harm reduction principles when working with clients. Finally\, participants will engage in an interactive case that will develop throughout the webinar and have different objectives (e.g.\, assessing a proper level of care\, and then incorporating a harm reduction treatment orientation with the client in regards to their MAT decision process).
