Email UpdatesTraining and Events Calendar
The Academy Training and Events calendar is an easy-to-use resource for healthcare professionals across all settings of care and specialties looking for educational opportunities to further their knowledge of integrating behavioral health with primary care. Some training opportunities are available as in-person meetings while others are conducted via live webinar. Opportunities are updated weekly, and the “filter” function can be used to search fields such as event type, location (virtual or in-person), CE/CME availability, and topic. Opportunities are identified from federal agencies and non-federal organizations, academic institutions, government agencies, and member associations conducting work in behavioral health integration.

<p>Join the National Association for Community Health Centers (NACHC) for a listening session guided by NACHC staff to inform NACHC’s value-based care (VBC) strategy on multi-payer alignment of primary care quality measures. NACHC understands the burden of reporting and complying with the varying terms in value-based contracts. Through this strategy, they hope to streamline reporting burdens for CHCs, incentivize high-value care, and ultimately contribute to improved primary care outcomes.</p><p>This session will present the set of quality measures NACHC has identified to put forth in their measure alignment strategy. Come ready to provide feedback on strengths, drawbacks, or any concerns they should be aware of regarding measures they anticipate coalescing around. They welcome everyone to this listening session to provide their opinion; participants do not need to be a “value-based care expert,” just someone passionate about advancing quality measurement alignment!</p>

Plus, experience a live demo of the tool used to automate contingency management and build a scalable, sustainable program.</p><p>What Participants Will Learn:</p><ul><li>How to build the business case for contingency management, including securing funding through opioid settlement dollars and other sources;</li><li>Proven implementation strategies that work across multiple locations from program design to staff workflows to patient enrollment; and</li><li>Key metrics and outcomes to track, and how to achieve retention rates up to 90% through comprehensive care engagement.</li></ul>

<p>Suicide is a leading cause of death in the United States, with provisional estimates of over 48,821 deaths in 2024 (CDC). Nonetheless, the evidence shows suicide can be prevented through comprehensive healthcare and community-based strategies. Substance misuse is a significant risk factor for suicide, and people who use opioids are at increased risk for suicidal thoughts and behaviors.</p><p>This webinar, hosted by the Providers Clinical Support System (PCSS) will provide an overview of risk and protective factors associated with suicidality and substance use disorder (SUD)/opioid use disorder (OUD) and will outline effective organizational and clinical prevention and intervention strategies for individuals experiencing SUD/OUD.</p>

<p>Substance use among Veterans and Service Members continues to be a critical behavioral health challenge that intersects with trauma, pain management, and the transition to civilian life. Veterans are at significantly higher risk of developing a substance use disorder (SUD) as compared to non-veterans. Veterans with SUD are also more likely to suffer from a mental illness or experience homelessness (Lloyd, Prakash, and Terplan, 2024). Federal, state and local agencies are continually working to reduce the prevalence of SUD among Service Members, Veterans and their families (SMVF)</p><p>This webinar will explore evidence-informed strategies, emerging trends, and innovative models that support recovery and resilience among SMVF. Presenters will discuss the importance of coordinated care across systems including the Department of Veterans Affairs, state health authorities, and community-based organizations. The presenters will highlight programs that are improving access to effective substance use treatment and long-term recovery support.</p><p>Join for this conversation as we bring together leaders from the Department of Veterans Affairs, the SAFE Project, and the Oregon Health Authority to share practical tools, lessons learned, and resources for those working to address substance use and promote wellness across the military and Veteran continuum of care. </p>
