Webinar Training Protocols

We understand that COVID-19 has significantly impacted how we all do business both in your homes and here at the State level. As such, we are not currently offering in person training for our housing providers. As many of you know, we have been working at getting our FREE trainings up and running on the GoToWebinar platform. With this large audience now attending our webinar based training, it has come to our attention, that we need to set some Webinar Training Protocols.

As we are looking to offer quality training in a similar learning environment to in-person training, we ask that you attend and participate as you would at an in person training in order to receive a certificate of attendance to satisfy licensure requirements. This means engaging with the presenter with questions and comments, staying present and participating as you would for an in-person training. 

The following changes have been made to accommodate the large audience of attendees, to ensure a quality training experience and to make this an engaging experience for all:

  1. From this point forward, all attendees will be required to log on through a computer, not a phone. If your computer does not offer audio, you will have an option to call in for audio ONCE you are logged in to your computer using the registration confirmation provided.  We are asking for your full cooperation with this if you would like to receive a Certificate of Attendance. Please note that if you choose to use a phone and are not logged on correctly, you will not get credit for the class, we will be firm with this requirement. If you do not have access to a computer, please contact your surveyor to figure out an alternate way to receive your required mental health training hours.
  2. Please set aside time in your day to focus your full attention on the webinar, as you would in a face-to-face training.
  3. Each person needs to be registered with their own unique email and each person must be logged into a different computer. You will know that you registered the person correctly if you receive a confirmation email from OhioMHAS Web Conference. If you do not receive that confirmation, assume that you have used a duplicate email or that there was a typo in that email. The confirmation email is sent right after you register, the day before the training and again an hour before the training. You will need that confirmation email to log on to the webinar. There are no exceptions to this.
    Instructions will be sent by Desiree Bell, a day or two before the event with instructions on how to log on. If you have had trouble in the past or have not logged on before, we urge you to take the time to read those instructions.
  4. Mental Health 101 training and the Crisis Intervention and De-Escalation training, have been broken down into three-2 hour modules. This means that when you sign up once, you will automatically sign up for all 3 modules. The modules will be held for 3 consecutive weeks on the same day and time each week (for two hours).  To receive a Certificate of Attendance for 6 hours of Mental Health Credits you will need to attend all 3 modules for the duration of the training and are logged on correctly through your computer. You only need to register and attend one of the 6 hour courses to meet the requirements for licensure.
  5. Once the training series is completed PLEASE allow 3 weeks to receive your certificate. The Certificates will be emailed to the address with which you were registered. Please note that because we are working remotely, we have no ability to mail you a Certificate.

Substance Use Disorder 101 Training (SUD 101) for Housing Providers
      

Ohioans with mental health and substance use disorders live in a variety of settings, including but not limited to recovery housing, permanent supportive housing, temporary housing, and adult care facilities. These housing settings often focus on serving a specific population, such as persons with mental illness or persons with substance use disorder. However, the Ohioans served in these settings often do not fit neatly into categories and may benefit from multiple types of services and supports. The Substance Use Disorder training will provide basic information about substance use disorders, what services and supports are available for people with SUD, and how to connect people to appropriate services and supports.

*Cancelled* - Peers and SUD/Recovery Housing
   

OhioMHAS is sponsoring FREE trainings for Recovery Housing Professionals late this summer/early fall.

DESCRIPTION:

Medically-Assisted Treatment (MAT) has been a controversial topic in the recovery housing profession. There are legitimate concerns; however, it is a reality that, by law, recovery housing owners, operators, and volunteers, must deal with it. By the end of this training, some may even come to embrace it as a useful tool for achieving the goal of helping people achieve long-term recovery. This all-day workshop is designed specifically for recovery housing owner/operators, staff members, and volunteers! Participants will learn about the myths and realities of medically-assisted treatment (MAT) and how MAT can be converted into medically-assisted recovery (MAR) within their recovery houses. Included in the day will be a workshop to examine policies and procedures that might alleviate any fears staff may have about MAT/MAR while protecting their recovery house(s) from potential legal challenges. Participants will gain a great deal of knowledge about substance-use disorders’ effects on the human brain, how medicines can help, and how incorporating “best practices” can be adopted and adapted to their particular circumstances.

OBJECTIVES:

Upon completion of this eight-hour training session, participants will be able to do the following:

  • Define MAT and MAR. 
  • Explain some of the underlying brain disorders and experiences that cause substance-use disorders.
  • Describe in general terms the ways the brain processes drugs and alcohol. 
  • Explain why some people benefit significantly from MAT.
  • Recognize the common medicines used for the treatment of substance-use disorders and explain how the medicines work.
  • Counter the myths associated with MAT.
  • Explain the legal issues related to non-compliance with Fair Housing and ADA laws.
  • Incorporate best practices for dealing with MAT/MAR in a recovery house.
  • Recognize effective policies and procedures for dealing with MAT/MAR in recovery houses.

Lunch and break refreshments are provided. Participants will receive a free course handbook filled with useful information and will receive a certificate of completion at the end of the training day.

Opportunities after the training:

All participants will have the opportunity to participate in up to three technical assistance call ins with the trainer to trouble-shoot MAT policy and procedure development

Cultural Competence in Mental Health and Addiction Recovery
 

Course Description

According to SAMHSA, to produce positive change, peer supporters and other members of the behavioral health workforce must understand the cultural context of their target community. They must also have the willingness and skills to work within this context. This means drawing on community-based values and customs and working with knowledgeable people from the community in all clinical and non-clinical efforts. Cultural competence is the ability to interact effectively with people of different cultures. In practice, both individuals and organizations can be culturally competent. Culturally responsive skills can improve client engagement in services, therapeutic relation-ships between clients and providers, and treatment retention and outcomes. Cultural competence is an essential ingredient in decreasing disparities in behavioral health. 

Learning Objectives:

  1. Participants will be able to define the terms cultural competence and micro-aggressions. 
  2. Participants will be able to identify the three principles of cultural humility.
  3. Participants will be able to describe and use a culturally and linguistically informed approach with the individuals they serve.

Ethics and Boundaries for Peer Recovery Supporters
  

Program Description

Ethics are a critical component to any profession, but are especially important to professions rooted in health and human services. Peer support programs pose several key ethical challenges. Although peer support specialists typically receive extensive agency-based training about their unique roles, most haven't received formal social work education or comprehensive ethics education. These specialists often provide various forms of social service that require skilled judgments related to client privacy and confidentiality, boundaries and dual relationships, informed consent, competence and expertise, documentation, and client abandonment. This module will provide a foundation for understanding ethics and boundaries for peer support as well as the Code of Ethics for Ohio Certified Peer Recovery Supporters.

Learning Objectives

  • Participants will be able to define both ethics and boundaries.
  • Participant will be able to describe mandated reporting and duty to warn and apply the concepts to their work.
  • Participants will identify the difference between an ethics and boundary violations.

Trauma Informed Care in Peer Recovery Support
  

According to SAMHSA’s concept of a trauma-informed approach, “A program, organization, or system that is trauma-informed: 1.Realizes the widespread impact of trauma and understands potential paths for recovery; 2.Recognizes the signs and symptoms of trauma in clients, families, staff, and others involved with the system; 3.Responds by fully integrating knowledge about trauma into policies, procedures, and practices; and 4.Seeks to actively resist re-traumatization."

At the conclusion of this training, participants will be able to:

  1. Participants will be able to define the terms trauma and trauma informed care.
  2. Participants will be able to identify the four principles of trauma informed care.
