A MESSAGE FROM NJPN’S CEO & EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR WELCOME

W elcome to the 22 nd Annual Addiction Conference: Blueprints for Success, a two-day virtual event This year, we are joined by over 1,600 attendees who represent a diverse group of professionals in prevention, peer recovery support, clinical care, public health, public safety, academia, and community leaders, all doing important work throughout New Jersey to support those struggling with addiction and other behavioral health issues. We are also excited to welcome students and other interested in learning about the field to this year’s conference! New Jersey’s Blueprint for Success is to build upon our strengths, including our interconnectedness across multiple disciplines, our use of evidence-based practices, and our ability to be responsive to the needs of our communities. We need to build upon the strategies that we know are effective, based on experience and research, and expand efforts to ensure these programs are reaching all communities and people in an equitable way. Using a public health lens encourages a multi strategy approach that not only addresses the immediate crisis, but also looks upstream to identify opportunities and prevent barriers, ensuring health and wellness for all. We are excited to continue our tradition of gathering the entire addiction field to learn about emerging trends and evidence-based strategies, and to celebrate our continued success that has New Jersey consistently recognized as a national leader in this work, all while providing an opportunity for professionals across the continuum of care to connect and learn from one another. Thank you to our funders: the NJ Department of Human Services, Division of Mental Health and Addiction Services; the NJ Division of Highway Traffic Safety; and the NJ Department of Health, Office of Tobacco Control and Prevention, which allowed us to provide this valuable workforce development opportunity for free this year.

I also want to thank the presenters, sponsors, exhibitors, and NJPN team for their hard work and effort in putting this virtual conference together – we couldn’t do this without you.

We hope you enjoy the conference and everything the interactive platform has to offer, and that this experience inspires you, energizes you, and provides you with a blueprint to strengthen and continue your good work and the vital impact you all have.

DAY 2

This presentation examines the notion of “connection” and its correlation with mental health.

Gambling Disorder: Etiology, Identification, and Emerging Issues in New Jersey

When we feel disconnected from our inner life, we suffer; when we are disconnected relationally—from people and nature—we can become anxious, depressed, despondent. What is this powerful “connection” actually made of, what is it, and how can we take the science of connection and inform the practice of psychotherapy? In many ways, the experience of a separate, solo-self may underly the many challenges we face, from racism and social injustice to environmental destruction. The field of mental health can play a pivotal role in how we help our human family move toward a new way of living on Earth by addressing the modern cultural excessive focus on individuality in the separate sense of self. These questions and their personal, professional, and public implications will focus our discussion on the nature of both interconnection—the links between parts of a system—and intraconnection—the wholeness of the system.

Attendees will receive an overview of the most pressing drug threats facing the Nation and New Jersey to address the overdose epidemic, inform counterdrug policies, establish priorities, and allocate resources to drive community-led prevention and intervention strategies. Susan A. Gibson, SAC will share the most recently available National reporting from the Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA) and Captain Piotrowski will present the status of the overdose epidemic in New Jersey and share Drug Monitoring Initiative data, the New Jersey State Police collects and analyzes near real-time frommany different sources to develop a comprehensive understanding of the drug environment.

Legalization of Cannabis: National Initiative to Address Drug-Impaired Driving in Canada

Daniel Sansfaçon, Ph.D Public Safety Canada

Further to cannabis legalization in 2018, Canada strengthened the Criminal Code provisions on drug-impaired driving and associated sentences, and implemented a multi-year initiative to: increase law enforcement capacity to detect and deter drug-impaired driving, conduct public awareness campaigns to inform Canadians about the risks of driving after cannabis and other drug use, and monitor trends and patterns in the evolution of drug-impaired driving. This presentation will describe the key elements of this initiative and some of its results.

Mindfulness in Recovery using the DBT Method

Leanne Jamison, LPC Women’s Empowerment Coach, Founder | Essentially Zenful LLC

The techniques taught in mindfulness play a critical role in relapse prevention. The core mindfulness skills, taken fromDialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), enhance a client’s ability to increase awareness of the present moment, increase the time spent in the present, and be in control of his or her mind. This then decreases the amount of mood dependent behaviors, such as using drugs and alcohol and addictive behaviors. The concepts of mindfulness can also be found all throughout the 12 step program. This presentation will offer education of mindfulness skills found in DBT and give exercises to implement in treatment and recovery to assist clients with understanding how these skills can help themwith continued sobriety.

Practical Applications of Harm Reduction

Chase Holleman, LCSW, LCAS Public Health Advisor (Harm Reduction Lead), SAMHSA Center for Substance Abuse Prevention Harm reduction is an approach that emphasizes working directly with people who use drugs (PWUD) to prevent overdose and infectious disease transmission, improve the physical, mental, and social wellbeing of those served, and offer low-threshold options for accessing substance use disorder (SUD) treatment and other health care services. Harm reduction is a priority area and one of four key pillars in the Biden Harris Administration’s overdose prevention strategy. Harm reduction organizations incorporate a spectrum of strategies that meet people “where they are” on their own terms, and may serve as a pathway to other crucial health services, including treatment- if requested. In some instances, other health services are co-located with harm reduction services. This workshop will outline harm reduction and its practical application as a system of care inclusive of prevention, treatment, recovery, and the gaps between. Participants will learn ways to more effectively practice harm reduction in a variety of settings, how to meaningfully engage with harm reduction organizations and PWUD, and ways in which SAMHSA will support harm reduction moving forward.

PM WORKSHOPS AT A GLANCE

Healing the Opioid Crisis with Mindfulness-Oriented Recovery Enhancement

Eric Garland, PhD, LCSW Distinguished Endowed Chair in Research, Distinguished Professor, Director of the Center on Mindfulness and Integrative Health Intervention Development, University of Utah Opioid misuse among people with chronic pain fueled the current opioid epidemic. However, to date, there are no evidence-based treatments that simultaneously address chronic pain, opioid misuse, and opioid use disorder (OUD). To meet this need, Dr. Garland designed Mindfulness-Oriented Recovery Enhancement (MORE) through a decade-long treatment development process funded by the National Institutes of Health. Rooted in affective neuroscience, MORE unites complementary aspects of mindfulness training, third-wave CBT, and positive psychology into an integrative therapy to target the brain’s reward system and reduce addictive behavior, stress, and chronic pain. This session will detail the theory underlying the MORE treatment approach, research data demonstrating MORE’s effectiveness, and unique clinical skills integral to this novel treatment approach. To date, MORE has demonstrated efficacy for opioid misuse, OUD, and chronic pain in five clinical trials involving over 550 patients. Across these studies, MORE has been shown to decrease opioid misuse twice as effectively as standard psychological therapy, while simultaneously reducing pain, craving, depression, and PTSD symptoms. At the same time, as a result of the savoring techniques taught in MORE, this novel therapeutic approach increases brain responses to natural rewards, healthy pleasure, and meaningful life experiences – something that no other therapy has been shown to do. Given the effectiveness of this novel therapeutic approach, MORE should now be disseminated by behavioral health providers throughout the country to help stem the tide of the opioid crisis.

Marijuana in Your Community: Taking Local Control to the Next Level

The COVID 19 pandemic had dramatic impacts on global mental health – especially among females and younger people. NIAAA research revels nearly a quarter of people increased drinking during the pandemic and individuals who increased their drinking were more likely to drink to cope with stress. This workshop will provide an update of alcohol-related problems in the United States since the COVID-19 pandemic, share outcome data because of alcohol misuse, and NIAAA resources and strategies for field professionals to draft a foundational blueprint to address the future needs of individuals and communities.

Dana Stevens, MPA Executive Director, CASA Community Action, Service and Advocacy

New Jersey’s Cannabis Regulatory Enforcement Assistance and Marketplace Modernization (CREAMM) Act provides municipal officials the authority to exert local control regarding the establishment and operation of cannabis businesses within their town limits. From zoning to advertising to local licensing, this workshop examines best practices learned from other states that have legalized such as California, Colorado, Washington and Oregon to help prevention professionals educate decision makers in sound public health policy when it comes to cannabis commercialization in towns throughout New Jersey.

20/20 Vision: Health Inequities and Cultural Implications of Addiction

Juliana M. Mosley-Williams, PhD, CDP DEI Consultant/Strategist

The COVID-19 pandemic caused massive loss to many throughout our nation and globe. But it also provided insight and forced our society to deal with the health inequities that it revealed. The inequities in our healthcare system were not new, but were finally worthy of a public agenda, conversation, and action towards equity. In this revelation, another public conversation has emerged...how society is dealing with the opioid crisis, which seemed different from other drug epidemics of the past. The difference...culture, race, and economics. This workshop session will challenge participants to acknowledge and think critically about these health inequities and the work that lies ahead.

New Doors to Healing: How the New Neurobiology of Trauma Opens Pathways to Well-Being in Troubled Times

Building Your Anti-Burnout Toolkit

Erayna Sargent Founder, Hookey Wellness

Donna Jackson Nakazawa Science Journalist, Author, International Speaker

Burnout is at an all-time high and while there’s no silver bullet, there are everyday behaviors to help combat this common condition. This session will breakdown burnout and how to navigate the world of mental wellness so you can feel empowered to take steps towards your relief.

This session opens a new doorway into understanding the link between trauma, chronic stress, and our physical and mental health. Participants will delve into the latest science on how trauma and toxic stress affect the brain, nervous system, immune system, and the stress-response in ways that can shape individuals’ health for good or for ill across the lifespan. The learner will come to understand: how pandemic and other cultural stressors affect individuals’ sense of safety and well-being; why young people and girls are uniquely affected; how powerful immune cells in the brain crosstalk with the body’s immune cells; the way in which our brain dances with ever-changing cues in our environment and how this profoundly shapes well-being; a framework for why a sense of unsafety can lead to powerful epigenetic changes that create neural changes, which, in turn, can lead to mental health disorders, addiction, and cognitive decline. This presentation leaves learners with the understanding that the brain is forever plastic, and sets forth new hope for addressing brain-related disorders and promoting brain health. Together, these findings create a radically reconceived picture of human health; one that helps us to better address and promote individual, familial, and community flourishing.

Commercial Tobacco Landscape and Pathways to Advance Health Equity

Messaging matters and the science is clear. While youth may perceive cannabis use as harmless or safer than other alcohol or other substances, the research shows that it can have profound negative impacts on academic achievement, attention and focus, sleep quality and ability to manage stress. And no, it does not make someone a safer driver! In this workshop, Drs. Kilmer and Hultgren make a powerful argument that changing youth perceptions around cannabis use and driving under the influence requires a multi-pronged approach, grounded in science, that includes normative messaging, education, and environmental strategies.

Natasha Buchanan Lunsford, PhD, MA Associate Director for Health Equity, Office on Smoking and Health, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention

Tobacco product use is the leading cause of death, disease and disability in the U.S. Although cigarette smoking has declined significantly since 1964, disparities in tobacco product use remain across groups defined by race, ethnicity, educational level, and socioeconomic status and across regions of the country. Furthermore, the tobacco product landscape is constantly evolving. Youth use of e-cigarettes threatens to reverse the progress we have made in reducing tobacco use among youth. This presentation will provide an overview of the current commercial tobacco product landscape. Markers of health disparities and information about drivers of health inequities in commercial tobacco use, secondhand smoke exposure, and quitting will be shared. The presentation will also explore causes of youth tobacco use. Population-based prevention measures proven to reduce tobacco use and tobacco- related morbidity and mortality and information on CDC activities to advance health equity will be shared.

Self-Compassion for Helping Professionals: How to Keep Showing Up without Burning Out

PM WORKSHOPS AT A GLANCE

Joy Johnson, LCSW Licensed Psychotherapist, Clinical Director, & Author, Therapy with Joy, LLC

Working in this field can be incredibly rewarding. You are able to do important, life-changing work that makes a difference and aligns with your values. However, this work is also difficult and can be draining. You may feel a heavy responsibility to the safety and wellbeing of your clients and you may struggle to let yourself “off the hook”when it feels like your work doesn’t yield the ideal results. Self-compassion is the key to mitigating burnout and showing up not only in our work, but also in our personal lives, in sustainable ways. Sometimes, people in helping professions can be the biggest skeptics of self-compassion, often valuing caring for others over ourselves. But, if you’ve been in the field long enough, you likely already know how quickly that can lead to burnout and make it difficult to show up in the ways you most want both for your clients/peers and for your own loved ones.

Developing Logic Models Using Protective Factors

Dorothy Chaney President, WI Community Health Alliance

The vast majority of coalitions base their logic models and comprehensive strategies on root causes that are based upon risk factor theory. This session flips the perspective from risk factors to protective factors. Whereas we usually look to change local conditions to reduce risk, this session will build a logic model where we build protective factors into strategies addressing local conditions. This session provides a new way to enhance CADCA’s community change process. Hands-on activities, tools and resources will be provided

Relapse & Recycling on the Road to Recovery: The Function of Failure in Successful Behavior Change

This workshop will focus on the language of ‘relapse’ and ‘failure’, and on changing perspectives on how we view treatment outcomes.

Mind the Gap

Dr. DiClemente will identify components of progress and setbacks, recognizing that a perceived ‘failure’ is often a stepping stone to growth and eventual ‘success’, and that ‘relapse’ only occurs when the effort to change is abandoned entirely. Dr. DiClemente will explore outcomes in relation to the change process, rather than on the absolutes of ‘success’ or ‘failure’. And will emphasize the importance of continued support of change efforts, with the understanding that the process is often complicated and seemingly erratic at times, but that forward progress can prevail so long as the efforts to change are continued.

Dr Valerie Mason-John (hon.doc) M.A Mindfulness Based Addiction Recovery MBAR

This session will explore how together through the lens of mindfulness we will become aware when addictive behaviours have been protecting us from unpleasant experiences like pain, loneliness, and sadness. We will discuss how to transform this self compassionate attempt to protect from painful experiences into a self compassion that will help soothe the wounds, and bring an end to addictive and compulsive suffering.
