SUMMARY:Before the Crisis: Prevention that Actually Works - CLASS IS FULL
DESCRIPTION:This training reframes prevention as an early\, relational\, and system-level practice rather than a reaction to crisis. Participants examine why prevention often occurs too late\, how stress accumulates before behaviors escalate\, and how timely support can improve outcomes without being permissive or punitive. Through guided reflection and applied discussion\, the course supports a shift from reactive responses to practical\, trauma-responsive\, prevention-focused decision-making embedded in daily practice\, relationships\, and organizational culture.2.5 CEUs awarded for Ohio registered CSWMFT. \nRegister Now

SUMMARY:School Success Conference 2026 - Stronger Together: Cultivating Responsive School Communities
DESCRIPTION:June 10-11\, 2026  8:00 AM – 4:00 PM \nJoin us for the 2026 School Success Conference: Stronger Together — Cultivating Responsive School Communities\, a two-day conference designed to bring together educators\, school-based professionals\, behavioral health providers\, prevention specialists\, community partners\, and youth-serving organizations committed to supporting student success. \nHeld on June 10–11\, 2026\, at Eversole Middle School in Plain City\, Ohio\, this year’s conference highlights the power of collaboration across systems. Through engaging workshops\, meaningful discussions\, and practical learning opportunities\, attendees will explore strategies that strengthen school communities\, support student wellness\, and build more responsive\, connected environments for young people. \nThe conference will focus on key topics such as school-based mental health\, prevention and early intervention\, student assistance models\, youth substance use prevention\, trauma-informed and culturally responsive practices\, staff wellness\, workforce resilience\, and systems-level collaboration. \nUnder the theme Stronger Together\, this event recognizes that student success is not the responsibility of one profession\, program\, or system alone. When educators\, behavioral health professionals\, families\, community organizations\, and school leaders work together\, schools are better equipped to meet the diverse needs of students and create environments where young people can learn\, heal\, grow\, and thrive. \nThis conference is presented in partnership with the Ohio School-Based Center of Excellence for Prevention & Early Intervention (SBCOE)\, Multiethnic Advocates for Cultural Competence (MACC)\, Miami University’s ASPIRE\, Central Ohio and Greene County Educational Service Centers (ESC)\, and other committed community and statewide partners. \nWhether you work in education\, behavioral health\, prevention\, advocacy\, or community support\, this conference offers an opportunity to learn\, connect\, and strengthen your role in building responsive school communities. \nRegistration link: https://miamioh.nbsstore.net/school-success-2025-registration-breakout-sessions \n

SUMMARY:Reimagining Substance Use - From Policy to Practice
DESCRIPTION:Substance use disorders remain among the most stigmatized and misunderstood health conditions\, often shaped by outdated policies and rigid treatment models that fail to reflect current science. This webinar invites social workers and behavioral health professionals to reimagine substance use care by bridging the gap between policy\, neuroscience\, and day-to-day clinical practice. Participants will explore how modern understandings of addiction as a chronic\, relapsing brain condition call for continuum-based\, person-centered responses rather than episodic or punitive approaches. The session examines the evolution of substance use diagnosis\, the impact of stigma and bias on care delivery\, and the role of social workers in identifying and addressing harmful substance use earlier through screening and brief intervention. \nPresented by: Nick Szubiak\, MSW\, LCSW\, in partnership with by the National Association of Social Workers (NASW) \nThis course will offer 1.5 Ohio CEUs. \nClick on the link to register: https://us02web.zoom.us/meeting/register/vFv5FQbHSuiSSOSMRbzbeA

SUMMARY:Refill Your Cup: Self-Compassion for Helping Professionals
DESCRIPTION:Self-compassion is often misunderstood as self-indulgence or weakness\, yet research shows it is strongly linked to resilience\, emotional well-being\, and sustainable helping. This interactive\, experiential workshop introduces participants to the science and practice of self-compassion through evidence-based strategies developed by Dr. Kristin Neff and colleagues. \nThrough guided reflection\, experiential exercises\, discussion\, and practical skill-building\, participants will explore the three core components of self-compassion—mindfulness\, common humanity\, and self-kindness—and learn tools they can apply in both their personal and professional lives. \nParticipants will leave with practical strategies to reduce self-criticism\, build resilience\, and reconnect with their inner resources so they can continue showing up with greater presence\, compassion\, and authenticity. \nPresented by: Yasmin Irfani\, M.S.\, C-PRS \nClick link to register: https://us02web.zoom.us/meeting/register/r9mlM5xSRdCe8ciyWYeAiw
