Syringe Service Programs Webinar

Syringe Service Programs

The HHS Office of the Assistant Secretary for Health hosts: Syringe Service Programs: State and Local Perspectives on the Role of Policy, Funding, and Partnerships
Monday, September 16, 2019 • 2:00-3:15 PM ET
This webinar will use examples from state government to showcase effective implementation of syringe services programs (SSPs) through policy and practice. Presenters will highlight experiences in gaining statewide support and community buy-in, crafting policy and bringing it to practice, and building strong partnerships with local communities to support SSP growth. This webinar is the second in a three-part series addressing SSPs, an important community-based prevention program that can save lives, combat the nation’s opioid crisis, reduce the transmission of HIV and Hepatitis C and support individuals in accessing substance (SUD)/opioid (OUD) use disorder treatment services.
Intended Participants: state/local public health, law enforcement, corrections, harm reduction organizations, state/local elected officials, SUD/OUD programs, faith-based organizations, federally qualified health centers (FQHCs), healthcare providers and other relevant organizations.
A recording of the first webinar in the series, “Syringe Service Programs -- A Critical Public Health Intervention” is now available for viewing.
Even if you cannot make the webinar, please register to receive invites to future events and resources.
We look forward to hearing from you on September 16!
Please share this announcement with other colleagues, grantees, and partners!

Postpartum Depression: Help and Hope

Postpartum Depression Webinar
The Partnership Center’s “Postpartum Depression: Help, Hope, and Healing” webinar will be the third installment in our Family Health educational series, and is squarely at the intersection of women’s health and mental health.

“Is it my fault that I’m experiencing these thoughts and feelings?” “Am I a bad mother?” “Why don’t I feel connected to my baby?” Questions like these and others often plague mothers in the weeks, months, and even years following childbirth, and can be signs of postpartum depression (PPD). However, PPD is not a sign of weakness or of moral failure. Your OB/GYN or a mental health practitioner can help.

With up to 13 percent of mothers nationwide experiencing the effects of PPD, this webinar seeks to offer help, hope, and pathways to healing for women. We also include helpful information for faith communities on how to care well for mothers in their midst.

Reserve your spot today to hear two of the nation’s top health experts about:
• Postpartum depression,
• Leading treatments,
• Consequences of avoiding treatment, and
• Information for faith communities, which want to help mothers in need.

Panelists:
Dorothy Fink, MD, Deputy Assistant Secretary for Women’s Health and Director of the Office on Women’s Health at the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services

Leslie Walker, MD, DFAPA, Psychiatrist in Private Practice and Clinical Instructor at Case Western Reserve University School of Medicine
