Work provides benefits to all of us, beyond the obvious benefit of a paycheck. It gives structure to our days, can boost self-esteem, and provides income that affords us more choices. It also offers opportunities to be a part of, and give back to, our community. Employment is a vital part of supporting individuals to gain greater independence, experience more social inclusion, resiliency and recovery, live more self-determined lives and build social capital. Join us for “Creating a Culture of Employment” to learn how you can incorporate employment into the work you do with the individuals you serve. This training will draw from tools such as Motivational Interviewing and Stages of Change and evidence-base supported employment and give you tools to develop or enhance a culture of employment in the services you provide to people. Registration fee includes a continental breakfast and light lunch.

Inherent in the way we talk about things is how we think of those same things. When we use words like “clean” we necessarily imply that the opposite is “dirty.” Opioid Use Disorder continues to be a highly stigmatized medical condition despite the many advancements in neurobiology and a fuller understanding of social and environmental determinants of health. In spite of these many advancements, people with an Opioid Use Disorder continue to report high rates of discrimination from medical providers, denial of services from government entities, and continued targeting by law enforcement. The ramifications of stigma in care environments are manifold and further compound the opioid crisis. During this workshop participants will explore personal biases related to opioid use and the way that these emerge in language, the ramifications of stigma against people who use drugs and how to create an affirming environment that will enhance care for people who use drugs. Registration fee includes a light lunch. Early bird fee $35.00 if you pay by April 23, 2019.
