Vulnerable Populations Series, Part 1 - Building Partnerships: State Brain Injury Programs and Overdose Fatality Reviews

A nationally recognized model, overdose fatality review (OFR) is being used by a growing number of communities to strengthen their community-based responses to the opioid epidemic by generating recommendations to address system, agency, population, research, and policy needs. OFRs help multi-disciplinary collaborations understand their overdose trends, identify missed opportunities for prevention and intervention to implement innovative, community-specific overdose prevention strategies.

Vulnerable Populations Series, Part 2: Human Trafficking and Brain Injury Implications

Human trafficking is the second leading crime in the world. There are over 1.3 million missing and runaway children in the U.S. and if a child is not recovered within the first 48 hours, the likelihood  is high that they will be trafficked. Incidence and prevalence of brain injury within this extremely vulnerable population is high due to intentional violence, substance use and suicidal attempts.  Join us for an overview of this incredibly challenging topic.

Cognitive Impairment in Substance Use Disorder Treatment: Neurologic Informed Care

The 4th Edition of the ASAM Criteria for adults was released in December 2023 and for the first time includes a chapter addressing treatment for individuals with cognitive impairment. John D. Corrigan, PhD, ABPP, was a member of the writing group for this chapter. In this webinar he will introduce the new ASAM expectations for the treatment of persons with cognitive impairment, including "Neurologic Informed Care” as described in the new criteria. Implications for the identification of people in treatment who have a history of brain injury, as well as the use of accommodations to make treatment more accessible, will be discussed.
