Training Highlights

July 14 | Foundations of Trauma Informed Care - Key Concepts and Core Principles<https://click.communications.case.edu/?qs=ABB7InYiOjEsImQiOjQ5MjJ9AAoAAAAAAhTlCPLN1AfTjTxEfI199VHhxlKxQvv3PhIusHOfp_ZGwwM2xqI-hLA1_G4pDu5Y89FakHcCcnjANCFdUc9SElVYnQZUqlcZOfi3>

Trauma-informed care (TIC) has become a foundational framework for improving outcomes across behavioral and physical health settings. Research consistently demonstrates that exposure to trauma is widespread and can profoundly affect an individual's mental, emotional, and physical well-being, influencing engagement, treatment adherence, and recovery outcomes (SAMHSA, 2014; Felitti et al., 1998). Despite increased awareness, many professionals continue to encounter challenges in translating trauma-informed principles into everyday practice.

This training provides an overview of the key concepts, research foundations, and core principles of trauma-informed care to strengthen understanding and application across service disciplines. Participants will explore the prevalence and impact of trauma; the neurobiological and behavioral effects of adverse experiences; and strategies for creating environments that promote safety, trust, empowerment, and collaboration. Through discussion and practical examples, attendees will gain insight into how trauma-informed approaches enhance person-centered care, reduce re-traumatization, and support resilience and recovery.

July 21 | Reinforcing Recovery: A Practical Introduction to Contingency Management<https://click.communications.case.edu/?qs=ABB7InYiOjEsImQiOjQ5MjJ9AAoAAAAAAhTlCPLOprZ6RLsqiY34_IEwoSrtq5zX3FrnZM_0rQDBCmTbGKhVj02-MgyBnleVL7O_SjmtAR4tBANZpuwqOdfNYPE5R7RK0DIp>

Contingency Management (CM) is a well-established, evidence-based intervention for treating a range of substance use disorders, supported by decades of rigorous research. It is the most effective behavioral treatment available for stimulant use disorders-a growing clinical and public health concern in the United States (HHS, 2023). In Ohio, this concern is particularly urgent, with 66.1% of overdose deaths in 2024 involving at least one stimulant (CDC SUDORS, 2024). Despite its strong empirical support, CM remains significantly underutilized due to common misconceptions, implementation challenges, and systems-level barriers.

This training provides a comprehensive overview of CM, including its behavioral foundations in operant conditioning, the neurobiological mechanisms that explain its effectiveness, and practical strategies for implementing CM across varied treatment settings. Participants will examine current research reinforcing CM as a first-line, evidence-based approach and will learn how to address common barriers related to cost, ethics, and clinical integration. Designed for clinicians, supervisors, and administrators, this training offers a foundation for expanding person-centered, outcomes-driven care.

Medical Trainings

Each month, we offer multiple one-hour trainings targeted toward medical professionals including physicians, nurse practitioners and advanced practice nurses, and physician assistants. These trainings will each offer our typical CEUs, but they will offer CNE, CME and psychology CE credits as well!

As psychedelic use increases, many frontline professionals are facing psychedelic-related distress without specific training. To close this gap, Ohio State University's Center for Psychedelic Drug Research and Education (CPDRE) developed the P.E.A.C.E. program (Psychedelic Emergency, Acute, and Continuing Care Education). Supported by the Ohio Department of Behavioral Health and MAPS, this evidence-based program replaces fear-driven interventions with practical preparedness.
