Webinar: Adapting Prevention Interventions to Better Serve Vulnerable Populations
2021-08-05 13:00 - 14:30 | Online
This webinar will discuss adapting prevention interventions to better support underserved and diverse populations in keeping with cultural humility and competence principles. Due to a variety of systematic issues, many populations have historically not received prevention services tailored to their needs and have had difficulty accessing what services were provided. By adapting evidence-based interventions, prevention professionals can implement interventions that are a better fit for the specific needs of different populations. Prevention professionals should assess the conceptual and practical fit of interventions, and how adaption might improve them. This webinar will discuss these topics, as well as summarize the evidence base for why adaptation is important for improving outcomes among diverse populations. It will also provide an overview of evidence-based processes for promoting successful adaption outcomes and provide examples of successful adaptions.

Webinar: Intervention Facilitation: Enhancing Skills and Increasing Efficacy - August 5, 2021
2021-08-05 13:00 - 17:00 | Online
The Brief Negotiated Interview is at the heart of a brief intervention and is an evidence-based approach to conducting a person-centered conversation to incite behavior change. In this interactive training, the brief intervention focuses on motivating individuals to reduce unhealthy levels of alcohol consumption or other substance use.

Based on the brief intervention component of SBIRT (screening, brief intervention, and referral to treatment) which utilizes basic Motivational Interviewing (MI) core skills, this workshop will review and offer practice activities to enhance provider competencies to effectively facilitate a brief intervention and motivate behavior change.

This training meets approval for two renewal hours (CASAC, CPP, CPS) and two initial hours (CPP, CPS) through New York State’s Office of Addiction Services and Supports (NYS OASAS). Participants must attend the ENTIRE session, turn on their video cameras, and actively participate in order to receive credit.

Webinar: The Infinite Game Workshop
2021-08-19 11:00 - 12:30 | Online
In prevention, there is no such thing as winning and losing. In an infinite game there is only ahead and behind. Of course, every organization has finite short-term goals, metrics and wins that show us that we are making progress, but to what end? In order to lead in an infinite game, we must practice these five areas: Advance a Just Cause, Build Trusting Teams, Study Worthy Rivals, Prepare for Existential Flexibility and Demonstrate the Courage to Lead. These sessions will break down and explore each of the five practices of leading in an infinite game.

Key Insights

Explore the characteristics of a Just Cause and relate it to your organization
Examine the practices that are building trust and those that may be breaking trust, and how to maintain and rebuild trust
Define and study your Worthy Rivals to identify areas of strength and areas to improve
Gain a deeper understanding of Existential Flexibility, explore case studies and evaluate your current capacity for Existential Flexibility
Learn how to build stronger relationships, which are the basis for the The Courage to Lead
