BREAKOUT SESSION BREAKDOWN

BREAKOUT SESSION 2


BREAKOUT SESSION 1 1.1 The Key to addressing the vaping epidemic: Meaningful Youth Involvement – Jordan Roberts BS

Youth Tobacco Use is on the rise and E-Cigarettes are now the most commonly used tobacco products among youth in the U.S. From 2017 to 2018, the prevalence of current e-cigarette use increased 78%, from 11.7 to 20.8 percent, among U.S. high school students. In this presentation, you will hear from Kansas Teens who are taking action at the grassroots level to address this issue in their communities. This interactive session will provide participants with the most up to date strategies to address youth vape use. This presentation is intended for community coalition members, prevention professionals, service providers, school personnel, youth mentors and students who have some knowledge of the youth e-cigarette epidemic. 1.2 Clinical and Community Opioid Interventions from the Quality Innovation Network – Sarah Good MHA

This session will focus on how monitoring prescribing behavior can be a catalyst to improve pain management practices, and will specifically review interventions that can be deployed at the community level –to improve the lives of people living with Chronic Pain and reduce the supply of opioids available in the community for diversion. Specific interventions with demonstrated success include prescriber feedback reports, Project ECHO (Extension for Community Healthcare Outcomes) Education, the Chronic Pain Self-Management Programming, and a Drug Take Back Toolkit. Attendees will learn about technical assistance and funding resources available to support these specific interventions for Kansas providers.

1.3 Trauma Informed In School - Why it Matters – Cindy Blasi CCTP,LMSW

This session will demonstrates how the education system can use the ACES study to acknowledge how life experiences impact the bodiesʼ ability to self-regulate. When educators understand both ACES and toxic stress, a mindset is created allowing for a safe and secure environment to be formed in schools. By creating an educational environment which ensures safety and nurturance for all, students will build relationships with other students and staff, promoting healing. They will in turn be better learners during the school day. Interventions and best practices to address self-regulation for both students and educators will also be shared in this presentation. This session will address how training teachers about toxic stress, ACES, and regulation increases their ability to respond to behaviors rather than react. When teachers understand how life experiences impacts the brain, teachers are more likely to understand the why behind certain strategies. These strategies and how we use them together positively impact a student' ability to regulate which in turn allows them to be a better learner. I think it is so important for community members to know what can be done or IS being done in schools so a better level of collaboration can occur.

1.4 Zero Suicide: A Framework for System-wide Transformation in Suicide Care – Chelsea Booth PhD /Monica Kurz BA

The Zero Suicide model is both an aspirational goal set by healthcare systems that no one enrolled in care will die by suicide and a framework which guides system-wide change for suicide safer care. The presentation will familiarize the participants with the basic components of the Zero Suicide Model. Examples will be shared about the outcomes of the model in real life settings will be given. Following the overview, an example of how the Zero Suicide work has started in a Kansas community will be given.

1.5 Redefining Leadership - Lynette Lacy M.S.Ed. / Jessica Fiscus MPH

I think you will agree... it is not difficult to see the challenges facing our world today. As you look around our state and your communi-ties, situations cry out for more leadership everywhere. Most of us have something where we would like to see more action and better outcomes. During this session, we will introduce you to some new skills that will provide you with tools to increase your own effectiveness through the activity of leadership. Join us in this session to learn how you can be more effective as you lead groups toward progress on tough challenges.

This is a continous 3 part session through Breakouts 1,2, & 3 (Participants should attend all 3 sessions)

2.1 Harnessing Youth Creativity and Influence – Rachael Miner and Benjamin Meier

TBH, everybody knows that youth are straight fire when it comes to impacting the community. Mirror's prevention program, STAND, engages peer-topeer networks to carry out evidence-based strategies in new and innovative ways. Hang with us for a lit discussion about how to embrace the woke creativity that youth bring to the table. Empowering and fostering an environment where young people and their ideas are seen as a valuable resource builds trust and collaboration to shape healthy, connected communities. YEET

2.2 Difficult Conversations: Encouraging Safe Storage of Lethal Means within the SMVF Population – Dr. Jason Deselms PhD

The best predictor if an individual will die by suicide is the availability of lethal means during the moment of crisis. Military service members, Veterans, and military families (SMVF) have a high familiarity with firearms and disproportionately select firearms as a method for suicide. Approximately 90% of firearm-related suicide attempts are fatal compared to a fatality rate of 5% for all other methods combined. Therefore, any barrier or action that prevents or prolongs access to lethal means is an integral part of a comprehensive suicide prevention strategy. Lethal means restriction conversations at times are at odds with military culture, making the lethal means counseling less effective and creating a rift between the therapist and the high risk individual. This presentation will address the issue of limiting access to lethal means for individu-als who are at risk for suicide. It will highlight strategies which are mindful of military culture, including how to work with the SMVF population to facilitate lethal means safety during high-risk periods.



2.3: Ending Tobacco Dependence for the Behavioral Health Population and Quitting Tobacco Use: A Narrative - Rick Cagan/ Jamie Katz/ Kay Burnett/ Ashley Grill

A two-part 90 minute session

Ending Tobacco Dependence for the Behavioral Health Population:A review of the work of the Behavioral Health Tobacco Project will include the Tobacco Guideline for Behavioral Health Care and the partner-ship efforts of a broad array or organizations focused on reducing the dependence on tobacco for individuals in the behavioral health population. The Johnson County Mental Health Center and the Mental Health Association of South Central Kansas will be featured as agencies which are moving this work forward. This session is designed for individuals working with individuals experiencing mental health and/or substance use issues and will be of value for prevention professionals and those working in prevention coalitions addressing addiction issues. A panel presentation will offer statewide and local agency perspectives from the behavioral health community in addition to hearing from a patient who was successful in quitting tobacco.

Quitting Tobacco Use: A Narrative:We are working to address tobacco free recovery in Johnson County. Statistics about tobacco use among people with lived experience of mental illness are alarming. Tobacco use may contribute to the reduced life span of individuals diagnosed with mental illness. As part of her own journey, Ashley, Johnson County Mental Healthʼs Peer Engagement Specialist will share the experience struggling to maintain a stable tobacco free recovery. Ashley will talk about living with mental illness, and explain from her point of view why quitting when in recovery from mental illness is a struggle. Ashley will share strategies sheʼs using to cope, and how the value of health is the principal driver in her journey to tobacco free recovery. In 2018, Ashley was diagnosed with a precancerous oral lesion and treated with surgical intervention where 1” x 1.5” of tongue was removed. She made it 6 months tobacco free, then experienced a relapse when a close family member was hospitalized. Learning the strategies to avoid relapse is a process, and resources are available to support tobacco free recovery. Ashleyʼs narrative works to raise awareness of the issues related to trauma and substance use and the struggle to maintain tobacco free status. It will also address how import-ant our environment is to a tobacco free recovery. The target population for tobacco free recovery is people with lived experience who receive mental health services at Johnson County Mental Health. The primary strategy to engage and bring change is using tobacco free grounds. Peer support for tobacco cessation, using quit lines and sharing strategies to help maintain a tobacco free recovery will be addressed

2.4: Drug Endangered Children and Creating Community Alliances – Dulcinea Rakestraw/ Cristi Cain / Jennifer Gassmann

In this session, participants will be introduced to the concept of “Drug Endangered Children.” The course identifies factors which create an environment where the possession, use, distribution, and/or manufacture of controlled substances endanger the health and safety of children. It will also discuss best practices for working with drug endangered children and their families. Finally, it will describe methods for inter-agency cooperation to provide a safe environment for drug endangered children. Understanding the special needs of drug endangered children and recognizing the specific risks associated with children being exposed to controlled substances is of importance to anyone who has contact with children and/or families. Individuals working within their communities through: child welfare, law enforcement, prosecution, substance abuse prevention and/or treatment, medical care, education, local government, and housing authorities should be particularly interested. Coopera-tion and teamwork among agencies are the cornerstones of protecting children from the dangers of home environments where controlled substances are used, possessed, sold or manufactured. The information presented will include sources such as the National Alliance for Drug Endangered Children, the Kansas Alliance for Drug Endangered Children, and local DEC Alliances in Shawnee and Sedgwick Counties.

BREAKOUT SESSION 33.1 When Everybody is talking about Health, but Doesn’t Know it! – Lynnette Redington M.ED. / Lorrie Kessler

So you wonder how to get folks to leave their agendas at the door and collaborate, but is that really what needs to happen? We'll share with you how building partnerships successfully addressed cross-cutting issues in Harvey County. Health Equity guides our work; we firmly believe in the motto “nihil de nobis, sine nobis” – nothing about us, without us. Because of this, the target audience of the Healthy Harvey Coalition is EVERYBODY in the community. Health issues that are priorities for the Coalition come from the community, through the Community Health Needs Assessment and direct interaction with community residents. Using a model to engage community members from diverse walks of life has opened doors to create healthier relationships. This, in turn, has produced change on many levels. We'll provide strategies and challenges from our grassroots work that is all focused on health prevention with a collaborative twist.

3.2 Biological, Social, Psychological and Spiritual Risk Factors for Problem Gambling – Stephenie Roberts LSCSW,LCAC SAP,KCGC ll/ Kim Peterson LMSW, LCAC, KCGC l

This presentation will address biological, social, psychological, and spiritual components of problem gambling. Education and preventative measures to limit risks will be shared with participants. This session will discuss responsible gambling strategies, support services and healthier coping mecha-nisms to incorporate into a high risk individuals life. In addition to the individual, the gambler's family who may be significantly affected financially, emotionally and socially by a loved ones gambling will be addressed. As problem gambling is becoming more prevalent, most people are still unaware of the many high risk factors associated with gambling. This session will discuss solution focused, cognitive behavioral and mindfulness strategies that those at risk can use to prevent or minimize consequences. Ways in which other coalitions might collaborate, creating a more solid recovery for the gambler and their family will also be covered.



BREAKOUT SESSION 44.1: Implementing Screening, Brief Intervention, and Referral to Treatment (SBIRT) at a Federally Qualified Health Clinic (FQHC) for Substance Use Prevention - Dulcinea Rakestraw MPH/ Eyinade Kila MPH,CPH/ Fatima Rahman MPH

In 2018, the Sedgwick County Health Department (SCHD) received Opioid Overdose Crisis Response cooperative agreement funds from the Kansas Department of Health and Environment (KDHE) to collaborate with the University of Kansas Medical Center - Wichita to identify and implement opioid misuse-related prevention strategies. One strategy selected was to assist HealthCore Clinic, a Federally Qualified Health Center, in implementing and evaluating Screening, Brief Intervention, and Referral to Treatment (SBIRT). SBIRT is an evidence-based practice to identify, reduce, and prevent risky health behaviors related to the misuse of prescription opioids and other substances such as alcohol and illicit drugs. This session will provide an overview of SBIRT, describe how continuous quality improvement strategies and workflow analysis can be utilized in program implementation, and discuss how other communities can use these lessons learned to address similar needs.

4.2: Creating a Healthier Community: First Responder Wellness – Vicki Broz LMSW,LMAC/Deb Moffitt LSCSW

This session will share an overview of a community that was faced with an alarming increase in suicide deaths, deaths that included first responders.

4.4: The Importance of Tobacco-Free Worksites – Dr. Elizabeth Ablah Phd, MPH

Dr. Ablah will discuss the importance of creating a tobacco-free worksite. The WorkWell KS initiative is an evidenced-based comprehensive worksite wellness approach that emphasizes policy, systems, and environmental changes. Dr. Ablah will describe the problem of tobacco usage and the importance of addressing it, the benefits of a comprehensive worksite wellness initiative, potential resistance you may be up against, and how to work through it. She will share resources to help implement a tobacco-free worksite.


I think you will agree... it is not difficult to see the challenges facing our world today. As you look around our state and your communities, situations cry out for more leadership everywhere.

5.2 Video Gaming, Sports Betting, and Other Trends: How Aware are you? Juan Baez

The world of gaming and gambling are moving at breakneck speeds with new developments. The World Health Organization classified Gaming Disorder as a diagnosable condition in June of 2019. Also, the United States Supreme Court overturned the Professional and Amateur Sports Protection Act (PASPA) in May of 2018. This paved the way for states to expand sports betting. With the expansion of gambling and gaming opportunities, how do we enact effective prevention programs and stay ahead of emerging trends?

BREAKOUT SESSION 66.1 Vaping, Opioid Misuse and Cultural Competence: Connecting and Effectively Communicating with Youth About Present Day Dangers – Crystal Dalmasso MA

“Just say no.” “Hugs not drugs.” “Donʼt be a wacko, stop tobacco.” Throughout history, catchy slogans have been used to communicate dangers about drug and tobacco use. Ask many of the youth today if they smoke and the answer is no. Ask them if drugs are bad and most will agree. Ask them if they or their friends have used an electronic cigarette or taken medicine that is not prescribed to them and the answer may surprise you. While the trending substance use dangers may come in new packaging; communicating the dangers about these substances is still as important as ever. How do we communicate the dangers of electronic cigarettes and misusing prescription drugs to youth? This interactive presentation explores methods of culturally competent behavior when communicating with youth about two present day dangers. Participants will look at national campaigns and communication tools to talk with and engage youth in the conversation about these dangers: vaping and opioid misuse.



6.2 Local Suicide Trends: Development of a CaseFile Abstraction Process to Track Sedgwick County Suicide Data – Kaylee Hervey MPH / Nicole Klaus PhD,ABPP

The Sedgwick County Suicide Prevention Coalition (SCSPC) has tracked local suicide data since 2001 to identify local trends and targeted interventions for high-risk populations. Strategies for local data collection have evolved over time to improve accuracy and provide more detailed data regarding risk factors. This presentation describes how the SCSPC has mobilized partnerships to optimize the accuracy and thoroughness of local suicide death data collection with limited financial resources. Local suicide trends were originally tracked using publicly available autopsy reports, which were coded by SCSPC volunteers. While this methodology produced timely data, several weaknesses were identified, including inconsistency in data coding and inability to reliably capture certain variables of interest. In 2014, the SCSPC established a partnership with the Sedgwick County Health Department (SCHD) to provide oversight of SCSPC databases and improve data coding consistency. In 2017, a partnership with the Sedgwick County Regional Forensic Science Center was established to obtain more detailed and complete data regarding suicide risk factors of interest using a case abstraction process to systematically extract select variables from the full suicide death case files.

Recommendations and resources will be shared for participants to develop similar partnerships and data collection efforts in their home communities. Challenges and opportunities in suicide data collection will be discussed, with the goal of develop-ing targeted suicide prevention interventions in local communities.

6.3 Kansas Attorney General's Youth Suicide Task Force/A Study and Recommendations for a Major State Public Health Issue – Dr. Leo Herrman PhD, LCP / Jennifer Schmidt J.D.

The number of suicides by Kansans 18 years of age and younger more than doubled in the decade between 2005 and 2015. In spring of 2018, Attorney General Derek Schmidt, in response to an increasing youth suicide rate and in cooperation with the Tower Mental Health Foundation, created the Youth Suicide Prevention Task Force. The Attorney General gave the Task Force three charges: 1. Survey ongoing local and state efforts to combat youth suicide through the state of Kansas. 2. Review the Safe2Tell phone application and similar methods aimed at increasing communication with youth needing assistance and effective reporting of stressors on young people. 3. Make recommendations for changes in practice, policy or law aimed at preventing youth suicide in Kansas. Over a six month period the Task Force held eight meetings throughout the State. It heard presentations from individuals and groups working on the issue of youth suicide in Kansas and in other parts of the United States. It also accumulated a wealth of information not only about what was being done in Kansas, but also efforts in other states to address this concern. It became clear to the Task Force that youth suicide is a major state public health issue that needs a more thorough response. Therefore, the Task Force made eight specific recommendations aimed at a more comprehensive approach to the issue of youth suicide prevention. These recommendations are aimed at all the stakeholders involved with children and their wellbeing to include students, parents, schools, behavioral health care agencies, universities, local communities, state agencies and legislators. This session will discuss the Task Forces work regarding data on youth suicides, what is being done now, challenges in dealing with the problems, and recommendations for specific actions to address the problem. A discussion of current legislation spurred by the recommendations of the Task Force and its implications will be presented. Information from the session should be beneficial for individuals at all levels concerned about the welfare of the children of our State.

6.4 Prevention and Advocacy for Prevention of Opioid-Related Disease – Dr. Daniel Warren MD/Danielle Ramirez

This session will start with a review of the opioid epidemic from the perspective of the natural history of opioid-related disease manifestations. We will then cover prevention interventions along each step of the natural history progression, to include primary, secondary, and tertiary prevention techniques. We then will shift gears to provide insight from Safe Streets Coalition, which has implemented several of the interventions in the Sedgwick County area. Participants should leave with an understanding of how opioid use disorder develops, where Kansas fits in the opioid epidemic progression, and how to develop rational prevention strategies appropriate for Kansans.
