This 90-minute webinar introduces restorative justice practices as a framework for strengthening relationships, addressing harm, and building trust within behavioral health teams and in provider-client relationships. Rather than focusing on punitive or compliance-driven responses to conflict, restorative justice practices center accountability, repair, and collective well-being. This session explores how restorative justice approaches redistribute power by centering the voices of those most affected — shifting from top-down management of conflict to participatory processes that build community. Participants will learn core restorative justice principles and practices — including affective statements, restorative justice questions, and circle processes — and explore how to integrate these into their team dynamics, supervision, and work with the people they serve.

Is your agency waiting for an audit to find out where the gaps are? For home health, hospice, and behavioral health professionals, compliance has never been more complex — or more critical. With state-specific PPEO requirements, Joint Commission, CARF, DEA, and an increasingly scrutinizing regulatory environment, reactive compliance is no longer a sustainable strategy. This webinar flips the script. Join us to learn how forward-thinking agencies are treating compliance as a growth strategy — not a checkbox — and how leveraging interim compliance professionals can close gaps fast, without the burden of long-term hiring commitments. Learning Objectives: - Understand why reactive compliance puts your agency at financial and operational risk - Identify the most common audit triggers in home health, hospice, and behavioral health settings - Navigate current PPEO challenges impacting post-acute providers across multiple states - Explore how interim compliance professionals can provide immediate expertise on a flexible, part-time basis — with no long-term obligations - Walk away with a framework for building a proactive compliance strategy starting today Register today so you don't miss the opportunity to audit-proof your agency!

Join the Providers Clinical Support System – Medications for Opioid Use Disorders (PCSS-MOUD) and the National Council for Mental Wellbeing for It Takes a Village: A Case Study on Interdisciplinary Care for Pregnant Women With Opioid Use Disorder on June 8, 2-3 p.m. ET.
 
Overdose remains one of the leading causes of pregnancy-related death in the United States, with risk increasing during the postpartum period. Despite the availability of effective medications for opioid use disorder (MOUD), many pregnant women face fragmented care, medication discontinuation and significant obstacles to engagement. These realities highlight the urgent need for coordinated, interdisciplinary treatment models that address the medical, psychological, and social dimensions of perinatal OUD.
 
Using a detailed case example, this webinar will follow a single patient from the initial prenatal visit through delivery and the postpartum year, demonstrating how medical providers, behavioral health clinicians and peer recovery coaches work together to support pregnant women with OUD and improve outcomes for both mother and child.
 
This webinar will outline the clinical reasoning, team-based strategies and patient-centered approaches that support engagement across the perinatal continuum, with an emphasis on MOUD management, mental health treatment, trauma-informed care and child welfare planning.Educational objectives:
•    Analyze a perinatal case study involving MOUD.
•    Identify key medical, psychological and peer considerations and how each team member supports relevant care for pregnant women with OUD.
•    Apply patient-centered, trauma-informed approaches that promote autonomy, trust and transparent communication across the perinatal continuum.
•    Evaluate how stages of recovery influence patient engagement and inform interdisciplinary care strategies.

CEs Available! Beyond Dual Diagnosis: Understanding the Relationship Between Personality Disorders and Substance Use Disorders Among Adults

Personality disorders (PDs) and substance use disorders (SUDs) frequently co-occur in integrated mental health and substance use settings, yet traditional dual diagnosis models often fall short when personality pathology is present. In many cases, substance use is not a parallel disorder, but a behavior organized by underlying personality dynamics related to emotional regulation, attachment threat, shame, and identity instability.

This training provides clinicians with a focused clinical framework for understanding how personality pathology changes the function of substance use, why symptom-driven interventions often fail, and how treatment sequencing influences engagement and outcomes with adults. Using a core versus surface content, CBT, MBT, Schema, and DBT lens participants will learn how to differentiate substance use behaviors from the personality-based drivers that sustain them.

The presentation emphasizes practical decision-making in integrated adult-serving MH/SU settings, including when stabilization is necessary, when sobriety-first approaches can destabilize care, and how to coordinate treatment across teams. Concrete guidance is provided to help clinicians prioritize emotional stability, maintain structure, and reduce relapse-driven treatment derailment.

Participants will learn to: 

1. Explain how personality pathology alters the clinical function of substance use, including its role in emotional regulation, attachment protection, and control.

2. Differentiate surface-level substance use behaviors from core personality-based drivers such as attachment threat, shame, and identity instability.

3. Apply treatment sequencing principles to determine when stabilization should precede insight-oriented, trauma-focused, or exploratory interventions.

4. Identify common points of treatment failure in dual diagnosis work, including mislabeling dysregulation as resistance or lack of motivation.

5. Implement practical strategies to support emotional stability, structure, and coordinated care in integrated MH/SU treatment settings.

Join us for a 2-part training to strengthen your supervisory skills! 

Dynamics around culture, identity, power, and privilege all play a role in supervisory relationships. This two-part interactive training equips clinical supervisors with the knowledge, self-awareness, and practical strategies needed to engage multicultural factors more effectively in supervision. The training emphasizes practical application through reflection, activities, and discussion to strengthen supervisors’ capacity to create effective culturally attuned supervisory relationships. It will also support supervisors to guide their supervisees in developing a more culturally responsive, relationship-centered clinical practice.

Part 1: Monday, June 22, 2026, 10:00 AM – 12:30 PM (EDT)

Part One of this workshop focuses on the supervisor’s own lens and supervisory presence. Participants will examine how their cultural identities, lived experiences, values, and positions of power influence supervision interactions. The session will also explore strategies for establishing psychological safety, addressing cultural dynamics proactively, and creating supervisory spaces where conversations about identity and difference can occur more openly and productively.

Part 2: Monday, June 29, 2026, 10:00 AM – 12:30 PM (EDT)

Part Two centers on applying multicultural supervision skills in practice. Participants will develop and practice approaches for facilitating meaningful conversations about culture and identity with supervisees, responding to moments of discomfort or rupture, and helping supervisees recognize biases, blind spots, and cultural assumptions that may impact clinical work. The session will emphasize actionable strategies supervisors can integrate into ongoing supervision practice.

By the end of this 2-part training, participants will be able to:

• Describe key principles of multicultural supervision, including the role of culture, power, privilege, and relational dynamics in supervisory practice.
• Analyze how their own cultural identities, social locations, and lived experiences shape their perspectives and interactions within supervision.
• Evaluate clinical and supervisory interactions for the presence of unaddressed cultural dynamics, power imbalances, or missed opportunities for culturally responsive engagement.
• Apply techniques to create supervisory environments that foster psychological safety and encourage open dialogue about sociocultural differences and tensions.
• Demonstrate strategies for initiating and facilitating conversations about race, culture, power, privilege, oppression, and intersectionality in supervision with greater confidence and skill.
• Integrate practical supervisory tools and interventions to support supervisees in developing cultural responsiveness and in addressing identity-related dynamics that emerge in clinical work. 

This training is only open to participants who are currently employed at New York State Office of Mental Health (OMH) licensed, designated, and funded youth and family-serving programs. By registering for this training, you attest to being a supervisor at one such program. CTAC reserves the right to cancel the registration or remove registrants who do not meet this criteria.

Join the National Council for Mental Wellbeing in partnership with the Opioid Response Network on June 23, 1:00-2:00 p.m. ET for a webinar featuring two experts in recovery and addiction. This session will examine the complexities of diagnosis and treating co-occurring disorders, including the added challenges of dual diagnoses in real-world clinical settings.Co-occurring mental health and substance use disorders rarely occur in isolation. Many individuals also experience chronic medical conditions that further complicate diagnosis, engagement and treatment outcomes. This session introduces a systems-based framework for understanding the interaction between behavioral health conditions and medical comorbidities. Participants will explore how fragmented care systems, social and environmental factors, and interprofessional silos contribute to poor outcomes and how integrated care models can improve coordination, strengthen retention and reduce overall healthcare costs. Educational objectives:
 •    Introduce integrated systems frameworks
•    Reframe co-occurring disorders beyond siloed treatment models
•    Highlight system-level barriers and solutions
•    Discuss challenges associated with diagnosis and dual-diagnosing complexities

Featured speakers:
