Join Dr. Amy Evans, Ph.D., professor for Hazelden Betty Ford Graduate School of Addiction Studies, as she explores the resurgence of methamphetamine use both locally and nationally.

We will discover local resources that are available for professionals, individuals and family members. In the end, create a plan for implementing knowledge from this training. Program Objectives: • Compare and contrast trends related to methamphetamine use in the local area with trends in the state, nation, and world • Examine and deconstruct biases related to methamphetamine use • Recognize the cognitive, physical, and mental health impacts of methamphetamine use • Apply evidence-based practices to working with individuals struggling with methamphetamine use disorders as well as frequent co-occurring mental health concerns • Review local resources available to professionals, individuals and families • Create a plan for implementing the knowledge gained from the training

Culture is a not a static representation of a group of people, but instead it is a living, breathing and ever-changing celebration. As world-renowned hoop dancers, Lumhe and Samsoche Sampson (Mvskoke Creek/Seneca)—a.k.a. the Sampson Brothers— strive to promote cultural pride, unity, and hope by setting a positive example through art, education, and dance. They hope to give back to their tribe and the Indigenous community as a whole by breaking stereotypes and thus creating opportunities for generations to come. Hoop dance has been the Brothers' passion and instrument of choice since they first learned as young boys. While the Powwow styles of Grass and Fancy dance were their origins when they began to walk, they were always encouraged to "never stop learning" and try more... That's when They picked up their first hoops as a way to inform and share their culture with their peers at school assemblies, however hoop dancing quickly became a means of living, and ultimately, a way of life. More than 25 years later, they have since performed for thousands of people in more than half a dozen countries.

Wed, 16 Oct 2019 17:11:35 GMT

When your client experiences chronic pain, they are likely to have feelings of frustration, anger, and depression, all of which affect their quality of life. Most times, people are offered medication to take away the physical or emotional discomfort of chronic pain.

It may seem counterintuitive to practice mindfulness when your client is in pain, however; research proves that the brain of a person meditating has a significant decrease in pain reception. Meditation changes the way the mind perceives pain so it is more tolerable. This webinar will teach you profound tools to help your clients manage chronic pain. What will be discussed: • Teach your clients to listen to the sensations of the body • Understand the relationship between inflammation and pain in the body • Learn methods to reduce inflammation in the body This webinar is a convenient and affordable way to earn continuing education contact hours to fulfill your license and certification requirements from a location of your choice.
