SUMMARY:The experience of being released from jail: a case study
DESCRIPTION:This presentation will describe an Australian man’s experience of leaving prison and attending a supported accommodation service.\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout this event\n\n\nCombining data from semi-structured qualitative interviews with men who received supported accommodation following release from prison\, initial results from our systematic review\, and a preliminary analysis of a supported accommodation’s service model\, this webinar will present a case study that contributes to discussions about the needs of men released from prison\, and how services like supported accommodation can address these complex and mutually reinforcing needs. \nAbout the speaker \nDaisy Gibbs joined NDARC in 2018 and is currently working for the Ecstasy and Related Drug Reporting System (EDRS) and the Illicit Drug Reporting System (IDRS). Daisy has a background in community development and service delivery. Her primary research interests include illicit drug surveillance and improving the well-being of vulnerable populations through evidence based\, targeted service delivery. Daisy commenced a PhD in 2019\, working to improve the evidence base for services working with people who are at high risk of re-offending after release from prison.

SUMMARY:Use of prescription opioid analgesics in women of reproductive age
DESCRIPTION:As around half of all pregnancies are unplanned\, opioid use among women of reproductive age may result in exposure in unplanned pregnancies. Understanding prescription opioid use in women of reproductive age is important given that opioid exposure during pregnancy has been linked to adverse perinatal outcomes and congenital malformations in infants. \nUsing a standardised national pharmaceutical claims dataset\, the study presented in this webinar examines the trends in the proportion of women of reproductive age that use and initiate prescription analgesic opioids in Australia between 2013 and 2020. The findings have implications for understanding the likelihood of inadvertent exposure during unplanned pregnancies.

SUMMARY:Micro-counselling Skills and Brief Interventions
DESCRIPTION:In the counselling environment\, a well-established therapeutic relationship provides the necessary foundation for delivering a wide range of treatment interventions that enhance treatment outcomes.

A sound skill in the use of micro-counselling skills can build a strong therapeutic relationship that thereby facilitates clients’ optimal receipt of treatment for problematic AOD use. \nTopics covered in this workshop will include: \n\nenhancing interpersonal communication by developing primary attending behaviours\, verbal and non-verbal communication skills\, therapeutic or empathic listening skills\ndeveloping and maintaining a productive therapeutic relationship\nusing kinesics and proxemics in brief intervention delivery\nrecognising and overcoming barriers to effective communication\nusing the FRAMES and FLAGS brief interventions models\nskills practise\n\nPresenter: Warren Losberg.\n \nPlease ensure adherence to all relevant conditions https://www.qld.gov.au/health/conditions/health-alerts/coronavirus-covid-19/current-status/public-health-directions for attendance to our workshops. \nNB: Participants will be required to provide their own lunch
