SUMMARY:Cannabis Use and Misuse Among Older Adults:  Emerging Trends and Implications for Healthy Aging
DESCRIPTION:Please join Dr. Fred Blow as he explores Cannabis Use Within Older Adult Populations. \nThe national landscape of cannabis legalization\, both for medical purposes and recreational use\, is rapidly changing. Further\, in those states that have legalized its use\, there has been a dramatic increase in cannabis outlets\, often called provisioning centers\, that offer a continually expanding array of products that are often more potent than previously available. Older adults are using cannabis both medically and recreationally at increasing rates despite potential for negative consequences. This webinar will examine trends in cannabis use nationally and will review the emerging evidence regarding cannabis use and misuse among individuals as they age. \nPlease register here.

SUMMARY:Nebraska Policy Academy Session 3
DESCRIPTION:In the context of COVID-19\, the needs and health disparities of older adults have been laid bare. Older adults with mental health and substance use issues have faced even greater disparities\, as social isolation\, loneliness\, limited access to health care and support structures\, and the stigma of behavioral health treatment have led to exacerbation of health issues and increases in “deaths of despair.” \nAs vaccinations rise\, and our world begins to return to some new normal\, many older adults – especially those with mental health and substance use issues – will not just bounce back. How do we plan for long term and secondary effects of the pandemic for older adults? \nMeeting these needs will require collaboration across state entities\, and perhaps across state lines\, to build bridges and create policy for action that supports recovery. Participants from the Single State Authority (SSA)\, State Mental Health Authority (SMHA)\, and the State Unit on Aging (SUA)\, along with Housing Authority (HA)\, Transportation Authority (TA)\, and community-based organizations will be invited to discuss local issues and resources to create solutions. \nThis event is by invitation only.

SUMMARY:Primary Care Focus: Brief and More Intensive Evidence-Based Treatment Approaches for Older Adults Who Misuse Alcohol and Other Drugs  for Primary Care Teams
DESCRIPTION:There are increasing rates of at-risk drinking and use of other drugs among older adults seen in primary care.

This webinar will focus on ways that primary care teams can address risky drinking and other drug use in older adults using the Screening\, Brief Intervention and Referral to Treatment (SBIRT) framework. Best-practices for screening and identification of late-life substance abuse\, and brief motivational intervention strategies targeting those who misuse substances\, will be reviewed. \nPlease register here.

SUMMARY:Grief and Loss: An Active Approach for Older Adults
DESCRIPTION:While some talk about stages of grief\, the reality is that most of us do not move through grief in a step-by-step way. Grief researchers have identified tasks that we need to accomplish in the grieving process to lessen the pain of loss. Some of us move through those tasks without even knowing that’s what we’re doing – it just feels like time healing the wounds. Some may need to focus more attention on the tasks of grieving in order to let go of our suffering. In either case\, having an active approach to grief can empower both older adults and those who serve them to manage this human experience. Differentiating normal grief from prolonged grief disorder and evidence-based treatments will also be discussed. \nPlease register here.
