SUMMARY:Improving Communication About the Drug Supply to Improve Health Outcomes Among PWUD
DESCRIPTION:This webinar will overview forthcoming products from the CDC PHIC Improving Communication About the Drug Supply to Improve Health Outcomes Among PWUD project. The primary goal of this project was to identify current best practices and promising strategies\, directly engage priority communities\, and develop action-oriented guidance on the effective communication of information about the illicit drug supply. By better understanding the information produced through community drug checking activities and other health engagement efforts\, public health partners can equip themselves and community stakeholders with information and health promotion strategies to reduce overdose risk and support service utilization. Project staff and consultants will walk through resulting materials—including a public health communications toolkit and community-developed recommendations document—the creation processes\, and intended uses. \nPlease contact DrugUserHealthTA@NASTAD.org with any questions.

SUMMARY:NC-TAC Webinar: How to Improve Brain Injury Supports for Justice-Involved Individuals
DESCRIPTION:During this 90-minute webinar\, we will hear from presenter Desireé Gorbea-Finalet\,  Project Manager for the Traumatic Brain Injury Justice Initiative at Disability Rights NC\, who will cover the fundamentals of brain injury\, common comorbidities of brain injury\, the legal system\, mental health\, substance use and strategies for supporting individuals with brain injury. \nDescription: According to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention\, ‘Research in the United States and from other countries suggests almost half (46%) of people in correctional or detention facilities such as prisons and jails have a history of TBI.’  The term brain injury is often only associated with ‘blunt force trauma.’ However\, brain injury is a multi-faceted disability that has a larger range of causes and impacts to a variety of high-risk populations\, including those justice involved. This training will also touch on Disability Rights North Carolina’s newest brain injury screening program NC BRAINS and how juvenile and criminal legal providers across North Carolina can incorporate screeners and supportive services in their work with brain injury individuals. \nIn order to attend you will need to register by following this link: https://unc.zoom.us/meeting/register/7oGAGbcdTuGphiwe3HdyXQ \n
