SUMMARY:Beyond the Basics: Addressing Chronic Pain in Older Adults with Mental Health Concerns
DESCRIPTION:Beyond the Basics: Addressing Chronic Pain in Older Adults with Mental Health Concerns \nSpeaker: Ann Steffen\, PhD\, ABPP & Dolores Gallagher-Thompson\, PhD\, ABPP \nDate: March 10th\, 2023 \nTime: 10am-12pm PT / 11am-1pm MT / 12-2pm CT / 1-3pm ET \nThere are a number of health conditions experienced by middle-aged and older adults that lead to persistent pain.

SUMMARY:Reframing Language in Behavioral Health Care: New Tools You Can Use
DESCRIPTION:Reframing Language in Behavioral Health Care: New Tools You Can Use \nDate: Wednesday\, January 18 \nTime: 11am-12:30pm PT / 12pm-1:30pm MT / 1pm-2:30pm CT / 2pm-3:30pm ET \nLanguage is a powerful tool that shapes how we see the world and other people. The words we use matter\, as they have the potential to be both empowering and harmful. This is especially true for words used to describe the experiences of people living with mental illness and substance use challenges. Dr. Moira O’Neil of the Framework Institute will open the webinar by providing an overview of the evidence behind the impact of language. Presenters will then introduce four new tools that outline outdated language\, updated language\, and why these changes matter. The presentation will be followed by a panel discussion on how behavioral health care providers can use language to create a more inclusive and respectful environment for families\, older adults\, African Americans\, and LGBTQ+ populations. This webinar is hosted in partnership with the National Family Support Technical Assistance Center\, the African American Behavioral Health Center of Excellence\, the E4 Center of Excellence for Behavioral Health Disparities in Aging\, and the Center of Excellence on LGBTQ+ Behavioral Health Equity. \nPlease register HERE.
