SUMMARY:End Overdose Now Illinois (Rally & Resource Fair)
DESCRIPTION:Harm reduction recognizes every individual’s dignity and prioritizes bodily autonomy\, choice\, and safety.  \n\nWhile there is no one definition of harm reduction\, its roots were born out of the movement of sex workers\, LGB/TGNC+ activists\, mutual aid groups\, and drug users’ collaboratives whose practices for decades have been criminalized. We honor the path their work has paved for us today by continuing to center equity as we work to uplift marginalized communities and services\, like sexual health resources\, syringe exchange programs\, drug users’ unions and BIPOC-led organizations.

SUMMARY:Current Issues in OUD: Fentanyl and Xylazine Update
DESCRIPTION:As we continue to respond to the rapidly evolving opioid epidemic\, this session will provide current state information on fentanyl and xylazine\, which is now present in the Illinois drug supply. This session will be informed by the latest data on effective approaches to education\, prevention\, and treatment for opioid use disorder (OUD)\, incorporating the risks posed by fentanyl and xylazine. Issues that will be discussed are best practices based on currently available data\, including: – Emerging evidence regarding initiating buprenorphine treatment in the era of fentanyl – Changes that are needed to address xylazine regarding harm reduction education\, overdose\, testing\, and withdrawal management Presenter: Shannon Robinson\, MD\, Physician Principal\, Health Management Associates This interactive training is intended for all stakeholders and partners interested in supporting improved access to medication assisted recovery in county jails\, especially representatives of IL MAR learning collaborative county teams\, including members of clinical\, custody\, and administrative teams who support MAR program design and implementation for justice-involved populations.

SUMMARY:Enhancing Harm Reduction Services in Health Departments: Fentanyl Test Strips and Other Drug Checking Equipment
DESCRIPTION:As fentanyl and other adulterants grow more ubiquitous in the national illicit drug supply\, people who use drugs are at greater risk of overdose. In the 12-month period ending in June 2022\, over 107\,000 drug overdose deaths occurred\, with 64% of deaths involving synthetic opioids like fentanyl. Despite high rates of overdose among people who use drugs\, evidence-based practices exist to prevent and respond to overdose\, including drug checking using fentanyl test strips and advanced drug checking equipment. Local and state health departments are well equipped to implement and enhance drug checking services to better understand their local drug supply and support people who use drugs. To inform local and state health departments’ harm reduction programming\, the National Council for Mental Wellbeing\, with support from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)\, developed Enhancing Harm Reduction Services in Health Departments: Fentanyl Test Strips and Other Drug Checking Equipment\, an educational brief grounded by real-world experience. \nJoin us on Tuesday\, May 16\, from 3:00 – 4:00 pm ET\, for a National Council webinar\, Enhancing Harm Reduction Services in Health Departments: Fentanyl Test Strips and Other Drug Checking Equipment. Attendees of this webinar will hear directly from health department staff and their community-based partners about implementing drug checking services that center the needs of people who use drugs in harm reduction efforts. \nWe will hear from four experts in the field: \n• Thea Oliphant-Wells\, Seattle King County Public Health Department \n• Amber Tejada\, Hepatitis Education Project \n• Ainsley Bryce\, Holler Harm Reduction \n• Colin Wasson Miller\, University of North Carolina Chapel Hill Street Drug Analysis Lab

SUMMARY:Utilizing Change Management Skills to Support and Integrate Harm Reduction Approaches
DESCRIPTION:The philosophy and implementation of harm reduction strategies is an emerging approach that is effective in engaging people who use drugs. This webinar will begin to explore how we can utilize change management approaches to support the implementation of harm reduction strategies to support people who use drugs\, reduce overdose death\, and more effectively address and treat addiction. We will discuss the wide spectrum of harm reduction strategies that support the mantra of meeting people “where they are” with compassion and humility. We will discuss and provide specific skills and approaches that communities can take to implement harm reduction strategies into existing practices. \nLearning Objectives \n\nParticipants will explore the philosophy of harm reduction.\nParticipants will learn how harm reduction supports health equity and health engagement.\nParticipants will learn specific harm reduction approaches that can be integrated into their existing practice and community to help support people with substance use disorders.\nParticipants will learn how harm reduction approaches and philosophies are a support to people in recovery\, enhance engagement in treatment and can elevate the effectiveness of existing evidenced based practices.

SUMMARY:DEADLINE: Interprofessional OUD ECHO® for Illinois Healthcare Teams Cohort 3
DESCRIPTION:The purpose of the Interprofessional OUD ECHO® program is to offer continued learning opportunities about the assessment and treatment of opioid use disorders (OUD) for healthcare teams that are already prescribing buprenorphine to patients in Illinois. This sixth-month program will be led by an interprofessional team of subject matter experts (prescribers\, social workers\, counselors\, peer recovery coaches\, nurses\, medical assistants\, case managers\, pharmacists\, etc.) who will help the healthcare team’s members better understand how to effectively work together to provide the highest quality of care to patients with OUD. This training opportunity is funded by the Illinois Substance Use Prevention and Recovery (SUPR) to increase access to Medication Assisted Recovery (MAR) in Illinois. \n  \nLearning Objectives. By the end of the Interprofessional OUD ECHO® Program\, participants will be able to: \n(1) Build processes and workflows that allow their healthcare team to deliver OUD treatment services and linkages to other services as available \n(2) Incorporate harm reduction philosophies and principles into their healthcare team’s treatment of patients living with OUD \n(3) Strengthen their healthcare team’s ability to collaboratively provide the highest quality of care to patients with opioid use disorder (OUD)
