SUMMARY:Motivational Interviewing (2-days)
DESCRIPTION:Motivational interviewing is a collaborative\, goal-oriented style of communication with particular attention to the language of change\, and is a highly recommended\, evidence-based approach to helping people address their substance use behaviours.  It is recommended for all practitioners based in AOD and mental health settings who provide direct support to people experiencing substance use concerns. \nMI training involves a blended learning program consisting of 4 self-directed eLearning modules (approx. three hours total)\, and a two-day interactive workshop. Following the virtual classrooms\, participants are invited to take part in “follow-up” Zoom calls scheduled throughout the year. In these follow up calls\, participants will be able to seek additional feedback after applying their new M.I. skills in direct practice. \nThis two-day workshop builds on the content covered in the introductory eLearning modules by providing structured opportunities for application\, practice and discussion. \nDay 1: The Spirit of MI and Change Talk  \nDay 1 will cover the underlying spirit of MI\, along with the core skills which are used in other forms of counselling and across the four processes of MI. The workshop focuses on how to recognise and respond to change talk\, including the different subtypes of change talk and ways of evoking confidence. \nDay 2: Evoking Change Talk\, Processes and Consolidating Commitment  \nDay 2 will focus on how to evoke change talk\, the heart of MI\, and demonstrate how to use the core skills to respond to sustain talk and what to do if there is discord. The workshop will look at the four processes of MI\, how to recognise which stage your client may be at to inform your approach\, including giving information and advice\, consolidating commitment and developing a change plan. \nFollow up phone call  \nThis follow up zoom call will be scheduled approximately 4 weeks after the workshop so that participants can further discuss and/or practice their use of the core MI skills with feedback provided from the training facilitators.

SUMMARY:Social Connection\, pain and opioid use: the OP-ALMA Social Prescribing Project at Turning Point
DESCRIPTION:Chronic pain affects one in three older adults\, and it is estimated to be Australia’s third most costly health problem. Many people living with chronic pain become dependent on prescribed opioid medication and research shows that this can be harmful in the long-term. Social connection is recognised as a key ingredient to improving the quality of life for those suffering chronic pain\, and an important step in reducing opioid dependence\, but it is often difficult for health providers to address in the traditional clinical setting. We will present findings from a pilot program that uses a social prescribing approach to enhance social connection in older adults living with chronic pain. The pilot was devised by Turning Point and supported by Gandel Philanthropy\, and will offer participants insight into how to address loneliness in older adults.  \nDr Shalini Arunogiri is an addiction psychiatrist and senior researcher\, and is Deputy Clinical Director at Turning Point\, a Victorian statewide addiction treatment service. Dr Angela Simpson is a health psychologist and project manager on the OP-ALMA project.
