This conference brings together two essential but often disconnected fields: perinatal and infant mental health and substance use disorder (SUD) treatment. Integrating these areas is critical to effectively supporting families during and after pregnancy.
Substance use disorders can disrupt a parent's capacity to offer attuned, responsive care—an essential task in the perinatal period. Yet this period also represents a time of heightened motivation and possibility for change, offering a unique opportunity to support recovery and nurture the parent-infant relationship.
Designed for perinatal and SUD practitioners, as well as infant and early childhood mental health clinicians, the conference features national experts who will explore:
- Types of SUDs and their impact on perinatal care
- Research on the intersection of trauma, parenting, and substance use
- Policies and practices that effectively support families during pregnancy and postpartum
A multidisciplinary panel will answer participants’ questions and share practical tools to help practitioners strengthen care for families.

Demystifying Jung’s “Archetypes” as Emotional Embodied Metaphors
Demystifying Jung’s “Archetypes” as Emotional Embodied Metaphors
June 11, 2025 5:30 pm - 7:00 pm
|
Time: 5:30 pm - 7:00 pm ET
Date: Wednesday, June 11, 2025
Speaker: Erik Goodwyn, MD
Credits: 1.5 AMA PRA Category 1 Credits™
Webinar description:
Since the 1980s, cognitive psychology has increasingly become embodied from a variety of standpoints. This talk will show how the results of embodied cognition and spontaneous thought “demystify” many of the attributes Jung described in his archetype theory, making archetype theory not only more comprehensible but clinically applicable in addictions and other emotional challenges. Combining approaches suggests new avenues of inquiry for experimental research and enriches the psychoanalytic perspective.
Learning Objectives:
- List the characteristics of spontaneous thought, as discovered by neuroscience and clinical presentation.
- Identify the subset of spontaneous images that qualify as “archetypal” using clearly defined criteria.
- Correctly interpret spontaneous images and narratives as innate embodied metaphors of one’s current emotional state using clearly defined associations.
Bring your questions - Q&A welcomed!

Initiating MOUD in the Emergency Department and Encouraging Treatment Retention
Initiating MOUD in the Emergency Department and Encouraging Treatment Retention
June 12, 2025 12:00 pm - 1:00 pm
|
Join the Providers Clinical Support System – Medications for Opioid Use Disorders (PCSS-MOUD) and the National Council for Mental Wellbeing on June 12, 12-1 p.m. ET, as we learn from a leading emergency department (ED) and addiction medicine expert about the benefits of initiating MOUD in the ED, easier access to care and OUD treatment retention.
Over 2.5 million adults in the U.S. are diagnosed with OUD. In 2022, 12.7% of ED visits involved opioids. Yet only 25% of those who need treatment receive recommended MOUD. MOUDs are highly effective treatments that have been shown to decrease opioid use, cravings and transmission of infectious disease, and to increase retention in treatment. As the opioid epidemic continues to impact people across the U.S., the ED represents a critical access point to the health care system, supporting people with OUD by initiating MOUD, such as buprenorphine, and connecting them to low-threshold, easy-to-access care for continued treatment.
During this session we will:
|
- Discuss the current landscape of OUD treatment, including MOUD, and the need for accessible, low-barrier care and treatment.
- Describe the benefits of initiating MOUD within ED settings and the impact on treatment retention.
- Explore examples of successfully implemented ED-based MOUD initiation programs.

Practical Solutions From Higher Education
|
|
Tuesday, June 17, 1-2 p.m. ET
|
|
|
|
There’s never been a more urgent need to prepare current professionals to meet growing mental health and substance use treatment needs. Substantial shortages are projected across key roles by 2037, including mental health counselors, marriage and family therapists, addiction counselors and social workers. These shortages are driven not only by increased demand, but also by burnout, limited scopes of practice and gaps in ongoing training.
This month’s Workforce Solutions Jam will build on April’s conversation — Strengthening Workforce Pathways: The Role of Higher Education in Training Future Behavioral Health Professionals — and spotlight how higher education institutions are innovating to close workforce readiness gaps and ensure that current professionals are equipped and supported to meet increasingly complex care needs.
Panelists from leading universities will share examples of how they are aligning academic programs with workforce realities, expanding access to continuing education and partnering with employers to strengthen the behavioral health pipeline.
Key highlights of the June session include:
|
- Exploring strategies for upskilling current professionals to meet emerging and evolving demands in behavioral health care.
- Understanding how academic programs are partnering with employers to align training with real-world needs and expectations.
- Learning about innovative models for continuing education and professional development that support retention and career growth.
|

The Workforce Solutions Jam is a monthly webinar to build national momentum and encourage collaboration. It is hosted as a partnership between the National Council for Mental Wellbeing, Health Management Associates and The College for Behavioral Health Leadership.

June 20, 2025 12:00 pm - 1:30 pm
Click Here to Register!
Or use this link: http://bit.ly/43jG0y2
Substance use is common in adolescents and young adults, with a substantial minority progressing to regular use, impairment and development of a substance use disorder (SUD). Unfortunately, both use and disorder are often underrecognized and undertreated in mental health specialty settings, where there is very high potential for impact.

This webinar will provide an overview of approaches to addressing SUD in youth with mental health disorders, including: use patterns, potential harms of cannabis, assessment, motivational techniques, treatment, the SBIRT paradigm, and interactions with other mental health problems. Family involvement along with youth and family engagement frameworks will also be covered.

Additionally, because the family unit can be impacted by a child with SED, the presenters will highlight some of the concerns and supports available to caregivers. A case example will be reviewed to illustrate SED determination and documentation.

A Panel Discussion on Working with Queer Youth and their Families

Or use this link: bit.ly/4kdfMV1
Queer-identifying youth and their families face unique challenges in navigating their identities, supports, and care. These often include experiencing discrimination, bullying, and other harmful experiences that negatively impact their mental and physical health. However, they also experience thriving and positive outcomes, particularly when supported by affirming environments and communities.
Please join us for an important event with three queer leaders in the Hudson Valley, New York, who will educate us and share best practices for working with queer youth and their families. Our presenters work across various community settings and will draw from their expertise and lessons learned.
We will hear from each of our leaders about who they are, their lived experience, and their work. We will then have a panel to discuss best practices for working with queer youth and their families as we dive deep into a case study. We will then take questions from participants regarding how to effectively work with and support queer identifying youth and their families.
Our goal is to help you, as providers, to offer the best care possible to queer youth and their families throughout New York State and to help create affirming environments and communities for all.

Working with Justice-Involved Youth to Re-imagine the Future
Working with Justice-Involved Youth to Re-imagine the Future
June 26, 2025 10:00 am - 1:00 pm
This workshop begins by reviewing aspects of history in which mental health workers have been complicit in harms created and caused by the government. Participants explore the policies and carceral cultures that they promote as part of their work and consider ways to promote true social justice. Participants learn about the freedoms marginalized groups do not have in the U.S. and the tenets of anti-Blackness and respectability politics. We explore how we can center Black liberation in pursuit of liberation for all groups including Indigenous peoples, people with disabilities, LGBTQIA+ identifying people, and more. The workshop ends with an innovative way to clinically engage youth around afro-futurist theory and offers techniques for implementation.
