SUMMARY:Addiction Technology Transfer Center: The Phoenix: Building Recovery Through Community\, Connection and Meaningful Activity
DESCRIPTION:The Addiction Technology Transfer Centers (ATTCs) play a critical role in advancing our nation’s health by equipping healthcare professionals and community organizations with effective tools to address individuals\, children\, and families impacted by alcohol and drug use. We build local capacity of the behavioral health workforce resulting in treatment that leads to long-term recovery and people\nbecoming contributing members of society as quickly as possible. \nSubstance use disorders (SUD) remain one of the most pressing public health challenges in the United States (US). Growing evidence suggests these challenges are deeply shaped by broader social and structural factors\, including trauma\, social disconnection\, socioeconomic inequality and declining community cohesion. Research has demonstrated that many individuals achieve recovery without formal clinical treatment and that long-term recovery is strengthened when individuals have opportunities to build meaningful relationships\, engage in purposeful activities and develop supportive communities in everyday life. \nThis webinar explores the role of meaningful activity\, social connection and community in initiating and sustaining recovery. Attendees will be introduced to The Phoenix\, a national nonprofit that has pioneered a free\, volunteer-led model of recovery support\, serving more than one million individuals across the United States. The Phoenix welcomes individuals in recovery\, those seeking a substance-free lifestyle\, and their friends\, family members\, and allies. \nThe webinar will also examine the growing evidence base supporting the Phoenix model\, including research demonstrating improvements in recovery-related outcomes\, psychological safety\, social connectedness and flourishing. Finally\, attendees will consider how these principles can strengthen recovery-oriented practice within their own settings\, including practical approaches for connecting individuals to Phoenix programs and applying community-centered\, strengths-based approaches to recovery support. \nLEARNING OBJECTIVES \n\nDescribe the community ethos underpinning The Phoenix model\nIdentify practical pathways for connecting individuals with Phoenix programs\nSummarize the emerging evidence supporting The Phoenix model\, including research on psychological safety\, flourishing and supportive social networks.

SUMMARY:The Academy for Community Behavioral Health: A Deeper Look at MI Skills: Open Questions: Intentionality and Precision in Practice
DESCRIPTION:The Academy for Community Behavioral Health\, part of the CUNY School of Professional Studies\, launched in June 2021 with funding from the Mayor’s Office of Community Mental Health and Mayor’s Office for Economic Opportunity. The Academy puts behavioral health tools in the hands of community-based organizations and others who have meaningful opportunities to start conversations and provide help.\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThis hands-on virtual workshop goes beyond foundational open question training to help learners develop precision and intentionality in using this core Motivational Interviewing skill. Participants will move from mechanical question-asking to strategic\, purposeful engagement that deepens the quality of their client conversations and builds stronger therapeutic alliances. \nWe will explore when to use and when not to use open questions. We will practice two advanced applications of open questions that are often overlooked in standard MI training: using questions strategically to provide direction in conversations\, and crafting specific questions that create space for deeper client reflection. Through multiple practice rounds with structured debriefs\, participants will strengthen transferable skills for your real-world practice. \nThis workshop is open to all who want to use open questions more skillfully\, regardless of your MI experience level. \nCOURSE OBJECTIVES\nParticipants will: \n\nIntentionally and strategically use open questions to move conversations forward rather than defaulting to them automatically\nApply open questions to provide direction when needed\nCraft specific open questions that slow client thinking and deepen self-reflection\nRecognize when open questions are being overused and identify alternative MI skills that may be more effective\nIntegrate intentional question-asking into daily practice with clients\n\nWHAT TO EXPECT\nThis is a highly interactive virtual workshop; most of the session will be spent in practice exercises and debriefs guided by the instructor\, with minimal didactic content. It emphasizes experiential learning through practice with real (not role-played) content. Participants will work in small groups in breakout rooms for multiple practice rounds with rotating roles. Participants should come prepared to practice skills with cameras and microphones on\, share authentic personal reflections\, and give/receive supportive feedback in their breakout groups. \nBecause this course is so interactive\, capacity is limited. Please only register at this time if you can commit to: \n\nAttend the full session\nParticipate on camera\nParticipate in small and large group practice activities and debriefs. This will require speaking using your computer microphone.\n\nIt is not possible to participate in this skill-building workshop off-camera or only via chat. \nELIGIBILITY\nAcademy courses are open to non-profit care providers who deliver social services or behavioral health care in New York City. \nThis includes\, but is not limited to\, staff of: community-based organizations\, government agencies\, and public hospitals\, along with members of mutual aid groups\, community gardens\, NYCHA resident committees\, and more. \nThis course is open to learners with any level of Motivational Interviewing (MI) experience\, including those who want to strengthen or refresh specific MI skills and those who are new to MI. \nLearners who complete this 2-hour course will receive a certificate of completion from the Academy.

SUMMARY:National Association of Social Workers: Neuro & Queer Influences In Clinical Supervision – 3 CEC
DESCRIPTION:Founded in 1955\, the National Association of Social Workers (NASW) is the largest membership organization of professional social workers in the world. NASW works to enhance the professional growth and development of its members\, to create and maintain professional standards\, and to advance sound social policies. \nWe carry all of our identities with us into supervision\, as supervisees and supervisors alike. If we want to create and foster supervision spaces that are safe and affirming—spaces where both parties can show up authentically—we must bring awareness and intentionality to the process. \nIn this 3-hour workshop\, participants will explore topics including LGBTQIA+ and neurodivergent affirmation\, executive functioning support in supervision\, and making space for supervisors’ own needs within the supervisory relationship. The training will also address common questions supervisors face about how to acknowledge and affirm LGBTQIA+ and neurodivergent identities in supervision while maintaining appropriate professional roles and boundaries. \nObjectives: \n\nDescribe how affirming LGBTQIA+ and neurodivergent identities can strengthen the supervisory relationship.\nIdentify strategies for incorporating executive functioning supports into supervision practices.\nIdentify ways intersecting identities\, including LGBTQIA+ identities and neurodivergence\, may influence supervision needs and communication styles.\nExamine how implicit bias and cultural context may influence supervisory dynamics.\nDescribe approaches for maintaining professional boundaries while creating affirming supervision spaces.\n\nThis program has been approved for 3.0 Continuing Education hours in Supervision.  NASW NH Authorization.

SUMMARY:Crisis and Trauma Resource Institute: Breaking Stigmas: Understanding and Supporting Mental Health – 6 CEC

SUMMARY:The Academy for Community Behavioral Health: A Deeper Look at MI Skills: Reflections Getting It Right Together: From Understanding to Exploring Ambivalence
DESCRIPTION:The Academy for Community Behavioral Health\, part of the CUNY School of Professional Studies\, launched in June 2021 with funding from the Mayor’s Office of Community Mental Health and Mayor’s Office for Economic Opportunity. The Academy puts behavioral health tools in the hands of community-based organizations and others who have meaningful opportunities to start conversations and provide help.\n\nThis practice-intensive virtual workshop strengthens and expands how helpers use reflections in Motivational Interviewing. Participants will move beyond fear of ‘being wrong’ to embrace reflections as a collaborative tool for deeper understanding. \nThe workshop focuses on two critical applications: (1) listening deeply to understand another person and reflecting to show that understanding. We will explore how accurate understanding comes through collaboration with the speaker\, not perfection; and (2) using reflections strategically to help clients explore both sides of their ambivalence without rushing to resolution. \nThrough extensive practice\, participants will develop confidence and skills to apply in your daily practice\, regardless of MI experience level. \nCOURSE OBJECTIVES\nParticipants will: \n\nListen with the intent to understand rather than to respond\nFormulate reflections that demonstrate a deep understanding of client experience\nTake thoughtful risks with complex reflections without fear of ‘being wrong’\nUse reflections strategically to help clients explore both sides of their ambivalence\nRespond skillfully when reflections miss the mark\n\nWHAT TO EXPECT\nThis is a highly interactive virtual workshop; most of the session will be spent in practice exercises and debriefs guided by the instructor\, with minimal didactic content It emphasizes experiential learning through practice with real (not role-played) content. Participants will work in small groups in breakout rooms for multiple practice rounds with rotating roles.

SUMMARY:JTI Hosts: The New York State Judicial Task Force on Mental Illness (NYS JTFMI): Intersection between Homelessness\, Justice\, and Behavioral Health
DESCRIPTION:People with behavioral health needs often do not receive the appropriate level of care that they need for a variety of reasons. When untreated or under-treated\, this can lead to a cycle of homelessness and repeated contacts with the justice system—which then leads to lower chances of these individuals receiving the proper assistance. \nThis webinar\, co-hosted by the NYC Justice Training Institute and the New York State Judicial Taskforce on Mental Illness\, will discuss the specific needs of this population and how cross-sector collaboration is necessary to address them. Participants will learn trauma-informed engagement strategies\, and how to best support clients in their reentry journey. \nThe New York State Judicial Task Force on Mental Illness (NYS JTFMI) seeks to ensure that individuals with mental illness and related conditions are treated fairly and compassionately in all aspects of New York’s court system\, including criminal\, civil and family courts by recommending improvements to court practices\, developing policy proposals and promoting collaboration of the judiciary with its willing and committed partners within and outside of government. The Task Force recognizes that mental illness is not a crime and court involvement is often the result of a lack of appropriate support. \nPresenters: \nRuth O’ Sullivan is a Licensed clinical social worker who has been supporting diversion initiatives since 2000. She is currently the Senior Director of Clinical Practice at the Center for Justice Innovation where she leads clinical\, direct\, and social service practice across the organization. Prior to this\, she was the Project/Clinical Director of Brooklyn Mental Health Court for 9 years. BMHC was developed to improve safety\, court operations\, and the well-being of justice-involved individuals living with serious mental illness by linking them to court-supervised\, community-based treatment. During her tenure at BMHC\, the court doubled its capacity and expanded to include people with Neurodevelopmental disorders. She has a master’s degree in sociology and social policy from the University of Glasgow\, and a master’s in social work from Hunter College. Ruth currently serves on the NYS Judicial Task Force on Mental Illness. \nPatricia Hernandez\, LCSW\, is a behavioral health leader and licensed clinical social worker with almost 20 years of experience advancing care and developing strategies for vulnerable populations across healthcare\, behavioral health\, homeless\, and housing systems. As Senior Director of Behavioral Health Homeless Initiatives at NYC Health and Hospitals\, she leads system-wide initiatives to strengthen collaboration between healthcare and homeless and housing providers to improve outcomes for patients experiencing homelessness with complex behavioral health needs. Previously\, Patricia spent several years at the Corporation of Supportive Housing (CSH)\, where she partnered with providers and government agencies to develop supportive housing initiatives and systems change across New York\, New Jersey\, and Pennsylvania. In addition to her leadership role at NYC Health and Hospitals\, Patricia serves as Board President of the Health and Housing Consortium\, a collaborative network of healthcare and housing organizations\, homeless services\, and government partners with the shared goal of improving health equity and reducing housing instability in New York City. Patricia currently serves on the New York State Judicial Task Force on Mental Illness and is co-chair of the Reentry and Housing Committee. Lastly\, Patricia also maintains a private psychotherapy practice\, providing therapy to adults navigating anxiety\, depression\, trauma\, and life transitions.
