SUMMARY:Franklin County/North Quabbin HEALing Communities Study Committee Meeting
DESCRIPTION:As a member of the Opioid Task Force of Franklin County and the North Quabbin Region (Opioid Task Force)\, you were invited earlier this year to attend the January 28th Franklin County and North Quabbin HEALing Communities Study Kickoff to learn more about the HEALing Communities Study (HCS)\, which is a national research study funded by the National Institutes of Health (NIH)\, and the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA). This groundbreaking effort is working to mitigate the deadly impact of opioid misuse\, which has sadly claimed the lives of 222 individuals in our rural communities between 2013 and 2021. \nOur participation in the study as a “Wave 2 Community Cluster” officially began on July 1\, 2022. To that end\, we are holding our first official Franklin County and North Quabbin HEALing Communities meeting as part of the Opioid Task Force’s Healthcare Solutions Committee work\, on Friday\, July 22\, 2022\, from 10 AM – to 12 Noon\, via Zoom.

SUMMARY:Saving Lives: Boston's Community Syringe Redemption Program
DESCRIPTION:Join us as we learn more about Boston’s Community Syringe Redemption Program\, developed by the Addiction Response Resources (ARR)\, featuring Allie Hunter\, Co-Founder of ARR. This effort “reduces the amount of unsafely discarded needles by offering a cash incentive for enrolled adults to return syringes.” You can register for this event here: https://us02web.zoom.us/…/tZwucu6vqT0jGdK6sTaZl4P1vPCQo…\n\nThe program was launched in the City of Boston in December 2020 with support from the Boston Public Health Commission and the RIZE Foundation. Their approach “was based on the idea that a small cash “buy back” incentive would encourage safe disposal of syringes\, improve quality of life\, reduce public safety concerns\, and reduce service requests related to syringes.” Additionally\, the program also “sought to create a low threshold income-earning opportunity\, develop job readiness skills\, expand access to life-saving overdose prevention resources\, increase engagement\, and create a new access point for services.”\n\nThe program “surpassed their initial goal of collecting 1\,000 syringes per week\, collecting …1\,738\,693 syringes to date\, averaging 4\,427 syringes collected per day (average of 22\,135 syringes collected per week). Since the program’s onset\, a total of 2\,094 people have enrolled in the program\, averaging 86 visits per day.”

SUMMARY:Four-Part Training Services for Behavioral Health Clinicians about Commercial Sexual Exploitation with Dr. Abigail Judge
DESCRIPTION:Please join us as we will be working with Dr. Abigail Judge starting Wednesday\, June 1st\, 9 AM – 10:30 AM. This is the first of a four-part training series developed especially for behavioral health providers to learn how better support survivors of commercial sexual exploitation. You can register for this free series\, here.  The remaining sessions are scheduled for June 8\, 15\, and 22\, from 9 AM – 10:30 AM\, via  Zoom \nCommercial sexual exploitation (CSE) frequently occurs in relationships of coercion\, trauma bonding\, and fierce emotional attachment. Understanding these relationships is critical to healing but can be a source of confusion\, frustration\, and burnout among service providers. \n\nThese sessions will go in-depth to focus on the complex psychological relationship between individual and exploiter and describe how professionals can build relationships of trust and mutuality when CSE is ongoing or historical. Since victims and survivors are unlikely to initially self-identify as exploited\, or use these clinical terms\, a specialized approach to creating shared language and engaging individuals at different phases of CSE will also be described. \n\nAbigail Judge Ph.D. is a clinical and forensic psychologist at Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH) and in private practice\, and she is on the faculty at Harvard Medical School. Dr. Judge’s hospital-based clinical work\, scholarship\, and teaching focus on improving the clinical response to women impacted by the continuum of commercial sexual exploitation and trafficking.

SUMMARY:Four-Part Training Services for Behavioral Health Clinicians about Commercial Sexual Exploitation with Dr. Abigail Judge
DESCRIPTION:Please join us as we will be working with Dr. Abigail Judge starting Wednesday\, June 1st\, 9 AM – 10:30 AM. This is the first of a four-part training series developed especially for behavioral health providers to learn how better support survivors of commercial sexual exploitation. You can register for this free series\, here.  The remaining sessions are scheduled for June 8\, 15\, and 22\, from 9 AM – 10:30 AM\, via  Zoom \nCommercial sexual exploitation (CSE) frequently occurs in relationships of coercion\, trauma bonding\, and fierce emotional attachment. Understanding these relationships is critical to healing but can be a source of confusion\, frustration\, and burnout among service providers. \nThese sessions will go in-depth to focus on the complex psychological relationship between individual and exploiter and describe how professionals can build relationships of trust and mutuality when CSE is ongoing or historical. Since victims and survivors are unlikely to initially self-identify as exploited\, or use these clinical terms\, a specialized approach to creating shared language and engaging individuals at different phases of CSE will also be described. \nAbigail Judge Ph.D. is a clinical and forensic psychologist at Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH) and in private practice\, and she is on the faculty at Harvard Medical School.
