Treatment dropout is one of the most persistent challenges in opioid and stimulant use disorder care. Medication-assisted treatment (MAT) can reduce mortality by 60%, but only when patients stay engaged. The reality? Many patients access medication but disengage from the counseling and therapy that is essential for lasting recovery.

Porch Light Health and CHESS Health are proud to co-present this webinar to share a real-world example of a provider’s innovative approach to dramatically improving retention and program adherence rates – and the tools they used to accomplish it.

Discover how Porch Light Health determined contingency management was the right approach, implemented it across 15 locations, and secured funding through opioid settlement dollars. Learn from their operational insights and remarkable outcomes to date, including a 294% increase in behavioral health visits, 30% improvement in MAT compliance, and 90% retention for patients in comprehensive care. Plus, experience a live demo of the CHESS Health Rewards Engine, the tool used to automate contingency management and build a scalable, sustainable program.

What You’ll Learn:

• How to build the business case for contingency management, including securing funding through opioid settlement dollars and other sources
• Proven implementation strategies that work across multiple locations from program design to staff workflows to patient enrollment
• Key metrics and outcomes to track, and how to achieve retention rates up to 90% through comprehensive care engagement

Expert Panel:

• Steve Carleton, LCSW, CAS, Chief Clinical Officer, Porch Light Health
• Hans Morefield, CEO, CHESS Health

In this workshop, we learn what is Plan-Do-Study-Act, or PDSA, as a model for improvement or improvement science. PDSA, also known as rapid cycle improvement, is an iterative, four-stage problem-solving model used in Quality improvement (QI) and Continuous Quality Improvement (CQI) to improve a process or carrying out change. The PDSA cycle is a method for learning how the change works in the local environment — by planning it, trying it, observing the results, and acting on what is learned, teams can build their knowledge about the potential of a change to result in improvement in their local context. This is the scientific method, used for action-oriented learning – and chances are, you’ve been doing PDSA all your life without calling it! In this session, you will get some fun, hands-on exercises to apply and cement your knowledge.

This 90-minute workshop is a part two of the three-part series on Quality Improvement (QI) Practices, which can also be a standalone learning module. This session (Part II) is in continuation from February 19, “Root Cause Analysis,” generally considered as the first step of CQI/PDSA; however, participants do not need to have taken the Part I session to be successful.

In today’s volatile sociopolitical climate, immigrants—especially those who are undocumented—are navigating heightened fear, chronic stress, and systems designed to keep them in the margins. Families often live in the shadows, avoiding institutions and support services out of fear of exposure, detention, or discrimination. At the same time, mental health professionals and service providers may carry unconscious biases or misinformation that impact the care they deliver—often shaped by shifting political rhetoric about which immigrant groups are “deserving.” This session will equip you with the knowledge and strategies needed to offer trauma-informed, rights-based, and culturally responsive care to youth who are immigrants.

Suicide is a leading cause of death in the United States, with provisional estimates of over 48,821 deaths in 2024 (CDC). Nonetheless, the evidence shows suicide can be prevented through comprehensive healthcare and community-based strategies. Substance misuse is a significant risk factor for suicide, and people who use opioids are at increased risk for suicidal thoughts and behaviors. This webinar will provide an overview of risk and protective factors associated with suicidality and substance use disorder (SUD)/opioid use disorder (OUD) and will outline effective organizational and clinical prevention and intervention strategies for individuals experiencing SUD/OUD.

In this webinar, we will be discussing ways Family and Youth Peer Advocates can support youth and families through changes in the social climates in their communities. When significant events impact the way things work in their communities, youth and families are often expected to adapt quickly and may not have direction. Participants will learn more about the impact of social change in communities and your role as a peer advocate in helping youth and families adapt to the changes. Participants will use practice scenarios to learn to practically apply the skills they’re learning.

In this workshop, we will review what is Plan-Do-Study-Act, or PDSA, as a model for improvement or improvement science, its goals and benefit, and what the steps of the practice entail. We will then go further to discuss the application of PDSA cycles in the bigger picture of systems change. We will discuss logic model, which provides the high-level roadmap for a program, whereas PDSA cycles facilitate the iterative, rapid testing and improvement of specific activities within that plan. The logic model maps out the intended inputs, activities, and outcomes, whereas PDSA tests whether those activities work in practice. We will detail out how PDSA can interface with and intertwine in the logic model in applying incremental change every day towards systems change.

This 90-minute workshop is a part three of the three-part series on Quality Improvement (QI) Practices, which can also be a standalone learning module. This session (Part Ill) is in continuation from February 19, "Root Cause Analysis," and March 19, "Quality Improvement Practices: Plan-Do-Study-Act"; however, participants do not need to have taken the Part I session nor the Part II session to be successful.

Undocumented individuals and their families often experience heightened stress, limited access to resources, and the constant pressure of living “in the shadows.” This workshop explores how social workers can provide culturally responsive and clinically informed support to immigrant students and families. Participants will deepen their understanding of immigrant rights, common barriers to participation in school and community life, and the emotional and psychological impacts of undocumented status. The session will also introduce essential terminology and practical strategies to help staff communicate effectively, advocate appropriately, and better understand the lived experiences of the students and families they serve.

Motivational Interviewing (Ml) is an evidence-based, versatile approach that can be used as a stand-alone intervention or integrated into an existing psychotherapeutic approach. This training will introduce core tenets of Ml as well as the skills central to its use. The training is well suited for any professional interested in successfully tapping into a client's intrinsic motivation for change; however, it was developed with psychotherapists in mind. It is geared toward individuals with little to no previous experience with MI.
