SUMMARY:The War on Drugs\, Prison-Industrial Complex\, and Harm Reduction
DESCRIPTION:Training Overview: \nThis training will give harm reduction workers a background of the history and policies related to many of the health disparities faced by people who use drugs\, especially those who also identify as people of color\, women\, and/or LGBTQ.  Through a combination of discussion\, shared experiences\, and activities\, training participants will explore how criminalization and exploitation has created a system that causes certain groups to have worse health outcomes and a lower quality of life. Participants will learn how to use this knowledge and build programming that interrupts these oppressive systems and focus service provision to be as open and inclusive as possible\, to help reduce the harms stemming from the racialized war on drugs. \nTraining Objectives: \n\nDiscuss how the prison industrial complex and war on drugs impact communities of color\, from the 1970’s to the present.\nIdentify three ways structural racism and capitalism result in treating people differently within the justice system.\nDiscuss how to integrate a harm reduction approach ranging from service provision\, policy making\, and community organizing.\nExplore strategies a program can try when supporting marginalized or oppressed people.\n\nFacilitator: National Harm Reduction Coalition \nOrganized By: The Harm Reduction Training Institute

SUMMARY:Drugs 101
DESCRIPTION:Training Overview: \nBiology\, psychology\, and sociology play a critical role in a person’s relationship with substances and helps to explain or understand substance use. Different substances affect different people in different ways for many different reasons. This training will cover the types\, classifications\, and major categories of substances. Also\, we will explore how different substances have the potential to interact with different mental health disorders in both beneficial and/or detrimental. \nTraining Objectives: \n\nClassify the three major types of substances.\nIdentify the primary neurotransmitters that play a role in all substance use.\nIdentify at least two stimulants/uppers.\nIdentify at least two depressants/downers.\n\nFacilitator: Maurice Byrd\, LMFT (He/Him/His) \nOrganized By: The Harm Reduction Training Institute

SUMMARY:Foundations of Harm Reduction
DESCRIPTION:Training Overview: \nThis training will provide health and human service providers with a comprehensive overview of Harm Reduction. This approach incorporates a practical set of strategies designed to prevent disease and promote health by “meeting people where they are” rather than making judgments about where they should be in terms of their personal health and lifestyle. Recognizing that not everyone is ready or able to stop risky behavior\, harm reduction focuses on promoting ways to reduce the health risks associated with drug use and other high-risk behaviors. This course will assist providers in more effectively engaging their clients in a range of interventions to \nTraining Objectives: \n\nDefine three key principles of harm reduction.\nExplore the harm reduction premise that the client is the expert and is responsible for choosing the type and timing of behavior change.\nList at least three harm reduction options for substance use behaviors.\nDescribe ways in which they can incorporate harm reduction skills into their relationships with clients.\n\nFacilitator: National Harm Reduction Coalition \nOrganized By: The Harm Reduction Training Institute

SUMMARY:Incorporating Harm Reduction Principles into Substance Use Treatment
DESCRIPTION:Training Overview: \nThis training will discuss the application of harm reduction in substance use treatment programs and settings. Harm reduction is a set of practical strategies that reduce negative consequences of drug use and improve the quality of the client’s life based on harm reduction principles. This approach can be challenging for providers trained in traditional substance use treatment methods but can provide additional tools to assist clients in moving towards their recovery goals. Participants will develop an understanding of the principles of harm reduction\, participate in activities designed to assist them in exploring attitudes and beliefs about harm reduction\, and develop practical skills and interventions that can be used in their work. \nTraining Objectives: \n\nDefine three principles of harm reduction in relation to substance use treatment.\nIdentify three key attributes that support applying harm reduction approaches and principles.\nReview challenges and barriers to treatment and recovery that people who use drugs face.\n\nFacilitator: National Harm Reduction Coalition \nOrganized By: The Harm Reduction Training Institute

SUMMARY:Dual Diagnosis
DESCRIPTION:Training Overview: \nMore than 50% of people who have a substance use disorder have a co-occurring mental health disorder.  It is the rule\, not the exception\, with trauma almost universal among people who misuse substances.  Yet more than half of young people who misuse drugs will mature out of a problematic relationship with drugs by the age of 30.  Who are they?  Who doesn’t?  And how can we help increase the likelihood that they will? This workshop will focus on the unique interactions between individual’s drugs and mental health – highlighting the medicinal and social benefits as well as the harms. \nTraining Objectives: \n\nRecognize at least one reason how stigmatizing language contributes negatively to clinician countertransference.\nIdentify at least two mental conditions closely associated with substance use.\nDescribe what adverse childhood experiences are.\nIdentify effects of at least two substances on a person’s mental health.\n\nFacilitator: Maurice Byrd\, LMFT (He/Him/His) \nOrganized By: The Harm Reduction Training Institute
