SUMMARY:NYS Health Foundation: Addressing the Mental Health Needs of New Yorkers During COVID-19
DESCRIPTION:New York State has made significant progress against the coronavirus pandemic in recent months. But as the State begins to return to life as it once was\, many New Yorkers will not. The impact of the pandemic’s loss of life\, prolonged economic hardship\, and societal upheaval has had—and will continue to have—a profound impact on the mental health of New Yorkers.\n\nA recent report from NYSHealth examines rates of anxiety and depression in New York State by race and ethnicity\, age\, income\, food security status\, and COVID-19 vaccination status from the start of the pandemic through May 2021\, using weekly self-reported survey data from the U.S. Census Bureau. The report contrasts recent improvements in mental health with persistent disparities by race\, income\, and food scarcity status.\n\nPlease join NYSHealth for a webinar with Lisa Furst\, L.M.S.W.\, M.P.H.\, Chief Program Officer\, Vibrant Emotional Health\, and Sophie Wheelock\, M.P.H.\, Policy and Research Associate\, NYSHealth. The panelists will discuss the report’s findings\, including key disparities and the continued need for mental health services across New York State. They will also provide recommendations on strategies that can be implemented to improve the emotional wellbeing of all New Yorkers.\n\nWebinar Date:\nThursday\, August 5\, 2021\n12:30 p.m. to 1:15 p.m.\n\nThe webinar will feature a short discussion followed by audience Q&A.

SUMMARY:NYS Health: Implementing an Equitable Telehealth Model
DESCRIPTION:The COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted the deep inequities present within our health care system\, particularly for underserved and historically marginalized communities. As the rise of telehealth solutions accelerated during the pandemic\, New Yorkers with financial means and technological capabilities were better able to quickly adopt digital tools for meeting their health care needs.\n\nTelehealth services remain inaccessible to and underutilized in many communities with rural\, low-income\, and minority populations—some of those most impacted by chronic disease and by COVID-19. Addressing these inequities will require reaching patients (both those who have and those who have not participated in telehealth)\, understanding their priorities\, and providing them with culturally and linguistically competent services.\n\nPlease join us for a discussion with Shoshanah Brown\, Founder/CEO at AIRnyc\, to learn more.\n\nWebinar Date:\nThursday\, July 22\, 2021\n12:00 p.m. to 12:30 p.m.\n\nThe webinar will feature a short discussion followed by audience Q&A.

SUMMARY:Promoting Health Equity through Primary Care Innovation in Medicaid Managed Care
DESCRIPTION:Over half of individuals in the U.S. covered by Medicaid come from communities of color. The program also insures over 10 million people with disabilities. As a result\, state Medicaid agencies and their partners can play a major role in advancing health equity and improving primary care for communities across the country that experience inequities in care and services. \nThis webinar\, made possible by The Commonwealth Fund\, will explore how state health equity goals can be advanced by Medicaid-led efforts that promote equity through their managed care programs\, as well as at the provider-level through initiatives that are supported by broader delivery system and payment reforms. The 60-minute event includes perspectives from Michigan’s Medicaid director and representatives from Southern Jamaica Plain Health Center\, a community health center in Boston\, Massachusetts. \nHealth care policymakers\, state officials\, and other interested stakeholders are invited to join this event.

SUMMARY:Practical Approaches to Supervising Behavioral Health Staff Working Remotely or in Hybrid Settings
DESCRIPTION:Behavioral health staff face new challenges\, anxiety\, and risk of burnout as they attempt to deliver the best care possible to clients in care settings impacted by the pandemic.

SUMMARY:Re-Engineering Treatment One Step At A Time: ASAM Level Of Care Certification
DESCRIPTION:This webinar will discuss a joint initiative between The Commission on Accreditation of Rehabilitation Facilities (CARF) and The American Society of Addiction Medicine (ASAM) regarding level of care certification. The certification will reshape addiction treatment by providing an independent assessment of a treatment program’s ability to deliver services consistent with The ASAM Criteria®. Increasing patient access to evidence-based addiction treatment is critical to overcoming the devastating and deadly challenges of addiction. \nThis certification gives patients\, loved ones\, payors\, and regulators the knowledge that a given treatment program is capable of administering evidence-based addiction treatment that is appropriately matched to a patient’s individual needs.
