- The Essence of Disaster Preparedness– This session will address the essence of many aspects of disaster responses, including current (some very new) Federal requirements that affect SAMHSA and the States. For instance, the workshop will focus on special issues affecting methadone dosing/distribution in times of disaster, lessons learned from recent State responses, unique pandemic influenza challenges, and how several States have responded via their behavioral health planning. The workshop will pique interest and challenge participants to return home to identify the strengths and weaknesses in their own response planning.

- Strategies for Developing Successful Partnerships with Grassroots-, Community-, and Faith-Based Organizations– This workshop will highlight some of the most successful strategies and partnerships developed and sustained among State and grassroots faith-based organizations. The workshop will explore how faith-based organizations play critical roles in strengthening the social fabric of communities and provide social services that are responsive to the values, principles, and needs of individuals. The workshop will also feature the array of support services that grassroots and faith-based organizations offer, such as transportation to and from treatment, employment services, case management, service coordination, outreach, relapse prevention, peer-to-peer counseling, housing assistance, child care, and spiritual and family counseling. Finally, the workshop will discuss studies that show that recovery does and can take place in faith-based-oriented frameworks.

The presenters and collaborating agencies will also outline the business case for new States (and counties) to implement the use of EHRs. Benefits include zero-cost acquisition of battle-tested EHRs, low cost technical assistance from peer agencies, and expert presentations on next steps for automating and integrating health and human services records.

The workshop will also identify and describe the key ingredients of a systems approach, including partnerships between States and provider networks and work with legislatures to change and remove barriers.
