<p>Substance use contributes to a range of complex public health challenges. While synthetic opioids remain central to the overdose crisis, deaths related to stimulants and alcohol are escalating. Beyond these medical concerns, the broader ripple effects are often overlooked, particularly the role of substance use in child neglect, family disruption and interpersonal violence. In today’s fragmented systems, these impacts are frequently addressed in silos, leading to gaps in care and missed opportunities for prevention and intervention</p><p>The National Council for Mental Wellbeing, with support from the <a href="https://www.aaap.org/">American Academy of Addiction Psychiatry</a> and the <a href="https://opioidresponsenetwork.org/">Opioid Response Network</a>, has developed a dynamic, four-part, interactive series for behavioral health providers and system leaders. The series explores the current fragmented landscape of substance use care and envisions an innovative, fully integrated future. Each session dives into one key sector, including health care, child welfare and schools, highlighting real-world challenges, cross-system opportunities and forward-thinking strategies to create a unified continuum of care that meets individuals and families where they are. A certificate of completion will be provided for attending the entire series.</p><p>Session 2 will discuss the critical role schools play in prevention, early detection, and wraparound support for students impacted by familial or personal substance use, and explore partnerships that break down referral barriers.</p>

<p>The session, hosted by the American College of Lifestyle Medicine, will explore how to integrate Lifestyle Medicine and Shared Medical Appointments (SMAs) into Federally Qualified Health Centers (FQHCs) which can transform them into the Partner, Employer, and Provider of Choice—while expanding health access and improving chronic disease outcomes in underserved communities.</p><p>Through strategic partnerships between FQHCs, academic institutions, and local farmers, this model addresses multiple barriers to care, including health literacy, time constraints, and access to nutritious food. SMAs create a group-based, billable care model that allows providers to reach multiple patients simultaneously in a supportive, educational environment. The visits foster peer connection and social support—crucial components in sustainable behavior change and chronic disease management.</p><p>Academic partners play a pivotal role by involving healthcare students in SMA delivery. Under supervision, students help facilitate group visits, support health literacy initiatives, and provide coaching on lifestyle interventions, such as plant-forward diets, physical activity, and stress reduction. Partnerships with local farmers enhance this effort by supplying fresh, nutrient-rich produce, giving patients access to the tools they need to make healthier choices.</p><p>Attendees will gain insight into how this collaborative, scalable model improves patient outcomes, reduces provider burnout, and creates a community-centered approach to chronic disease prevention. Practical guidance will be shared on implementing SMAs, engaging partners, and leveraging resources to make Lifestyle Medicine the foundation of care in FQHCs.</p>

<p>What does it truly mean to be Recovery Ready, not just in principle but in practice? Join the National Council for Mental Wellbeing for a dynamic Recovery Month conversation featuring experts on Recovery Ready Communities, Workplaces and Families. </p><p>This session will examine the everyday systems that shape recovery journeys. From family routines and workplace expectations to local services, the presenters will look at how these systems can be reimagined to center trust, flexibility and meaningful accountability. The conversation will also highlight the role of informal networks of support, from coworkers to cousins to community mentors, and how they often serve as the foundation of long-term recovery.</p><p>Discussion topics will include:</p><ul><li>The influence of job design, caregiving and community culture on recovery outcomes.</li><li>How trust-based accountability can be practiced at home, at work and across communities.</li><li>Ways to strengthen informal support networks alongside formal systems of care.</li><li>Practical tools for becoming not just recovery-informed but truly recovery ready.</li></ul><p>Providers, peers, policymakers or family members will gain insights and strategies to help build a world where recovery is a shared responsibility and a shared possibility.</p>
