SUMMARY:TRAUMA INFORMED RECOVERY: ILLINOIS ONLY
DESCRIPTION:Faces & Voices of Recovery invites professionals in the state of Illinois to attend a FREE virtual training. In conjunction with the Illinois Department of Human Services we are excited to bring you this training about the importance of being trauma-informed. \nTrauma-Informed Recovery is a powerful three-hour training session that dives deep into explaining the ways trauma shapes people. Traumatic experiences can dramatically alter people’s lives\, and subsequently\, perspectives. Understanding the ways that trauma can impact people and shape their perspectives is crucial. This training is essential for anyone working with vulnerable populations. \nAs Recovery Support Service Providers\, we are not immune to the effects of stress and secondary trauma. Many people who have chosen to work in this field have experiential expertise in trauma and this empowers individuals to use their own experiences as a guiding framework for understanding how to extend compassion and empathy to others. Session-goers will walk away from this training with the skills necessary to create healthy boundaries\, develop a concrete self-care plan & learn the risks of not being trauma-informed. \nDate and Time: Wednesday\, November\, 30th\, 2022 from 2:00 pm to 5:30 pm **EST

SUMMARY:Medications in Treatment
DESCRIPTION:One of the challenges of Medications in Treatment (MAT) is that clients and counselors often focus on the medication and lose the balance of full recovery. This M.D. level facilitated workshop will focus on how to use the evidence-based practices of motivational interviewing cognitive behavioral therapy\, and the trans-theoretical model of behavior change to broaden substance use disorder treatment beyond the “bio” (as in biopsychosocial) administration of the medication. It will help providers collaborate with clients to individualize substance use treatment and develop person-centered services that hold clients accountable and attract them to recovery.

SUMMARY:AMSR for Substance Use Disorder Treatment Professionals
DESCRIPTION:The training aims to provide participants with the background knowledge and practical skills that they need to address suicidal risk and behaviors in clients in care for substance use disorder treatment. Participants will have the opportunity to increase their knowledge and apply practical skills in the following areas: \nApproaching Your Work: Learn how to manage reactions related to suicide and maintain a collaborative\, non-adversarial stance. Acquire the necessary skills to address potential conflicts between a care professional’s goal to prevent suicide and relapse and a client’s goal to eliminate psychological pain via suicidal behavior. \nUnderstanding Suicide: Gain an understanding of the definitions and language used when talking about suicide\, as well as the data that are relevant to addressing suicide in substance use disorder treatment including risk and protective factors\, warning signs\, and the complicating factors of substance misuse\, including opioids. \nGathering Information: Identify key points in treatment where a suicide assessment should occur\, what questions to ask to learn more about a client’s suicidal thoughts and behaviors past and present\, and how to ask them. Participants will practice asking questions in an interactive learning environment designed to help build confidence. The training presents key scenarios\, such as when to seek supervision or consultation and what to do when someone discloses suicidal thoughts during a group treatment session. \nFormulating Risk: Practice synthesizing assessment information into a risk formulation that will help inform the next steps in treatment. AMSR emphasizes the importance of using a risk formulation not for prediction but as information to make a collaborative decision regarding recovery-oriented treatment planning. \nPlanning and Responding: Review suggested actions to take based on a risk formulation using resources from SAMHSA’s TIP 50 and evidence-based interventions. Practice having conversations related to safety planning and addressing the potential for relapse through means counseling interventions. \n  \nIf you have any questions please contact Maddie McCormick by email madison.mccormick@prevention.org or by phone 1.800.252.8951 ext:123
