SESSION DESCRIPTIONS

TUESDAY, JUNE 25

10:15–11:45 A.M.

Reframing Youth Substance Use Prevention: A Deeper DiveJulie Sweetland1070-U.S. Bank Theater

Providers and advocates want to build widespread support for protective factors that can prevent adolescent substance use, but preexisting assumptions about adolescents and substance use can act like roadblocks to that goal. FrameWorks Institute’s research shows that steering the conversation around these obstacles takes an understanding not only of what to say but also how to say it. By using the right framing strategies, advocates can effectively communicate the importance of adolescent substance use prevention programs. This interactive session gives participants a chance to try out reframing recommendations.

Moving Beyond the Traditional Definition of Prevention EducationElizabeth Wolanski & Christi Valentini-Lackner1033-Alonso Family Room (Inside Multicultural Center)

Could the “traditional” definition of prevention education be outdated? As Informational Dissemination through social media becomes more complex and engaging, prevention professionals might need to think beyond simply defining Prevention Education as two-way communication. This workshop will challenge attendees to rethink the way we understand and implement Prevention Education.

Addressing Non-Suicidal Self-Injury among Genderqueer College StudentsAndrew Yockey2015-Sphinx Centennial Room

Sexual minorities report high rates of non-suicidal self injury. The present study sought to identify specific risk factors associated with non-suicidal selfinjury among a national sample of genderqueer college students. A secondary data analysis of the 2017-2018 Healthy Minds data set was conducted. A total of 911 students participated in the study. Results revealed that 23.1% of college students reported NSSI in the past year. Health implications for counselors, preventionists, and other health professionals are considered.

The New Look of Nicotine AddictionBruce Barcelo2120-Ohio Staters, Inc. Traditions Room

Nicotine use is on the rise with nearly 1 in 4 Ohio high school students using a vaping product. In fact, due to the significant increase in vaping the FDA has recently identified it as an epidemic. So what should you and your community know about vaping and Juuling? In this presentation, “The New Look of Nicotine Addiction”, participants will receive an overview of vaping 101, the prevalence of use, toxicology and safety, secondary exposure cessation and harm reduction as well as youth use, risks, and how to effectively respond to this rising epidemic. Join us as we take an in-depth look at the new nicotine addiction that is impacting youth at an alarming rate.

Advancing Behavioral Health Equity: The Role of Integrated Pediatric Primary CareCatrina Litzenburg & Marilyn Laila Sampilo 2144-Ohio Staters, Inc. Founders Room

This session will focus on the role of integrated pediatric primary care in reducing behavioral health care disparities among underserved populations and promoting behavioral health equity. It will provide an overview of factors that contribute to behavioral health disparities and how integrated pediatric primary care addresses these barriers. The session will also highlight the emphasis on prevention and early intervention in integrated primary care and provide a case example of the model and positive outcomes.

Stop, Collaborate, and Listen- Prevention and School Psychologist Working TogetherRobyn Coleman & Rebecca Jones2145-Senate Chamber

PBIS, behaviors, and mental health do not exist in a vacuum. We will discuss how collaboration between school psychologist and prevention professionals can work together to create a system that works to address social and behavioral issues and prevent and inform so that future needs can be minimized. We will further discuss the implications for culturally and linguistically diverse populations.



Connecting the Dots: How Resiliency and Relationships Are the Key to Overcoming Health Disparities Impacted by Adverse Childhood Experiences and AddictionAshley Garcia2154-Student Alumni Council Room

ACEs including addiction and community violence have negative outcomes during child and adulthood. Preventing ACEs to build resilience requires a collaborative, systemic approach. This session will cover how Alcohol and Drug Services Prevention at Columbus Public Health (CPH) uses the Strategic Prevention Framework to inform best practice to increase coping and resiliency with at risk populations in an urban setting and the importance that establishing consistent, meaningful, long lasting connections has on low risk choices to decrease AOD use and community violence. We will discuss innovative, trauma informed strategies that are being utilized to inspire and impact social emotional learning and change within the community.

Harnessing the Power of Genuine Youth Voice/Ohio’s StoryGeorge Hicks, Holly Jacobson, & Karen Lackey3020-Interfaith Prayer Room

Ohio Youth-Led Programs contend that youth truly are smarter than adults—in the matters that affect them. Youth Led Programs empower youth to influence the social and political systems that affect their lives. Through our process youth develop critical skills necessary to engage in strategic planning, and are perceived not as youth at risk, but youth at promise. In this workshop participants learn how Ohio’s model and Strategic Prevention Framework (SPF) produced broad-based environmental change in two widely different demographics; rural Geauga County, and urban Columbus, Ohio.

Decreasing the Risk of Suicide Among those with Chronic Invisble IllnessesKathleen Gorman-Ezell, Cathy Pederson, & Jeffrey Brookings3140-Round Meeting Room

Individuals diagnosed with chronic invisible illnesses are plagued with symptoms that disrupt their quality of life. These symptoms can result in feelings of isolation and loneliness which are in turn associated with suicidal thoughts and behaviors. Increased suicidal ideation is correlated with hopelessness, loss of self and others, increased stigma, and interpersonal conflict. While many suicide prevention efforts are directed toward universal screening, most of the currently available assessment tools are not sensitive to the unique symptomatology of those with chronic invisible illnesses. The Suicide Screening Tool-Chronic Illness (SST-CI) assists practitioners in assessing individuals’ suicide risk for those with invisible illnesses

1:00–2:30 P.M.

Integrating Promotion and Prevention Science to Address School SafetyKyle Pacque1033-Alonso Family Room (Inside Multicultural Center)

Prevention scientists and practitioners (e.g., prevention specialists, school administrators, mental health providers) need a shared conceptualization of school safety. We address this gap with an innovative safety continuum by identifying best practices from a dimension, proactivity to reactivity, with the domains:

promotion, prevention, protection, mitigation, response, discipline, restoration, and recovery. This Safety Continuum is adapted from the Behavioral Health Continuum of Care Model (Institute of Medicine, 1994) and recent Final Report of the Federal Commission on School Safety. We also discuss the new self-assessment on motivational orientation to identify your bias/ preferences toward promotion or prevention thinking.

Responding to the Newest Epidemic: Vaping and Our YouthLisa Goodwin1070-U.S. Bank Theater

The Center for Disease Control reports that vaping has increased nearly 80% among high school students and 50% among middle schoolers since last year. The alarming surge in adolescent e-cigarette use has prompted health officials, school districts & communities to take immediate action. To counteract this newest epidemic, requires a tiered approach action plan including: 1. Education for youth, parents, teachers & school administration. 2. Health professionals providing evidence based data demonstrating dangers of vaping. 3. Local authorities creating strategies to discourage vaping among youth.

Transforming Your School Community-The Benefits of Bringing The Character Effect-to Your SchoolJaimi Cabrera & Corey Hatfield 2015-Sphinx Centennial Room

Please join us for an interactive session that introduces participants to The Character Effect™. A flexible developmental framework that is rooted in the science of mindfulness and positive psychology. Participants will have opportunities throughout the session to experience mindfulness and learn about their unique character strengths to support their own well-being as well as tools and activities to leverage the strengths of their students. Everyone will leave with practical strategies and tools that they can begin utilizing immediately.

The Heartbeat: Youth-Led Programs and the Connection to Community-Based Process.Amanda Hampton, Geena Crosby, & Cory Brown2120-Ohio Staters, Inc. Traditions Room

Youth-led programs in Ohio are conceptualized as community-based process (CBP). This comprehensive, interactive workshop will help participants to define

CBP and describes its importance as a foundation in youth-led programs. In addition, participants will gain knowledge on facilitating community level change and their role as adult allies. Finally, participants will engage in conversation surrounding the topics of positive youth development and youth empowerment as it relates specifically to CBP. Using specific examples, this workshop will equip adult allies with the necessary tools to start working or continue working with their youth in the community. CBP is the heart of youth-led prevention.

Family Resilience - Practical StrategiesBobbi Beale2144-Ohio Staters, Inc. Founders Room

Practitioners need to understand how resilience interacts with trauma, so that we can be more intentional about increasing resilience in our clients and families. We often think of resilience as an individual characteristic, but as service providers in the youth and family system of care, we need to facilitate and support resilience across the whole family. This session will provide a brief overview of

the impact of trauma on parenting, before we look at some interventions to use in the home with families to strengthen their resilience and teach them new skills to nurture resilience within their own family. We will also discuss how to apply trauma-informed strategies to manage difficult behaviors and improve parenting techniques.

And Wellness For AllKaren Vadino 2145-Senate Chamber

Wellness is not merely the absence of illness. It is a state of complete well-being. It includes the ability to manage one’s affairs, satisfy needs, maintain positive relationships and change or cope with one’s environment. It is the integration of the dimensions of wellness and the balance among them. It is not our choices and individual motivation alone that determine our level of well-being. Our health and wellness are also impacted by a broad range of social, economic

and behavioral factors. This workshop will explore the idea that achieving individual wellness not only helps subdue stress, reduce the risk of illness and increase the chances for positive interactions, but also enables individuals to positively impact their environment.

Creative Ways to Engage Students and Teachers in Mental Health and Wellness Promotion ActivitiesKamilah Twymon & Janelle Dethloff2154-Student Alumni Council Room

This presentation will provide an overview of the need and impact of wellness and universal prevention strategies and will also highlight how engaging school staff and students increases sustainability. The facilitators will also share their experience in identifying and implementing strategies that are effective at impacting school climate while also engaging school staff and students. Additionally, outcomes and learned lessons will be shared with participants.

Our award-winning faculty and staff are dedicated to empowering students and lifelong learners to embrace difference, seek justice and be the change.

Building Resilience and Connectedness for Suicide Prevention in YouthAllison Savage & Tonya Konte3020-Interfaith Prayer Room

Over 50% of those with 4 or more Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) struggle with a mood disorder, 70 % suffer from anxiety, and are almost 13 times more likely to attempt suicide than those with no ACEs. This workshop includes consideration of the biological impact of ACEs on the brain and how ACEs can impact mental health and suicidal thoughts/behaviors. We will focus on strategies for reducing suicide risk through the development and enhancement of resiliency factors. In schools, the leading resiliency factor is social connectedness. This session will also explore the formation of youth-led gatekeeper groups and how they utilize knowledge and training to increase protective factors, promote mental health awareness, and decrease the risk of suicide.

Preventing Opioid Misuse Among AthletesAshley Dutcher, Ashley Mack, Andrea Hoff3140-Round Meeting Room

Many teens are being prescribed opioids to manage pain following a sports injury, putting them at higher risk of medication misuse. Since pain is expected in most sports, how do we help our athletes avoid this dangerous behavior? Explore two strategies deployed in two different communities to address prescription opioid misuse among athletes.

2:45-4:15 P.M.

How Change Happens: Engaging Youth in PolicyShawn Jeffers & Julianna Fellows1033-Alonso Family Room (Inside Multicultural Center)

Suicide is the 2nd leading cause of death for Ohioans ages 15 - 34. It only takes 90 minutes to learn how to save a life with QPR! What is QPR? Just as people trained in CPR help save thousands of lives each year, people trained in QPR learn how to recognize the warning signs of a suicide crisis, how to ask questions about suicide, persuade an individual towards safety, and refer someone for additional help. All participants will receive a booklet with helpful information to use during a time of crisis. Additionally, the recommended audience for this presentation is individuals who are new to suicide prevention with little to no information

on this important topic. Sign up if you want to learn effective ways to save a life!

Joining Forces for Children: Using a Collective Impact Approach to Address Adverse Childhood ExperiencesRobert Shapiro & Erin Saul1070-US Bank Theater

Joining Forces for Children (www.joiningforcesforchildren.org) is a collective of educators, health care professionals, community members and more who work to prevent and reverse the effects of child traumas such as adverse childhood experiences (ACEs). Using a collective impact framework, we build capacity within our community, families and child serving organizations to recognize and strategically respond to children experiencing ACEs. Building a Collective Impact initiative is both challenging and rewarding.

Make Your Case: Advocating for Credentialed Prevention ProfessionalsJennifer Benson & Stacey Gibson2015-Sphinx Centennial Room

During this session, participants will learn about the Ohio Chemical Dependency Professionals Board Prevention Credentials and resources available to successfully attain one. Participants will learn about the scope of each prevention credential and where each level fits in prevention service delivery. Participants will have the opportunity to develop a case for support and practice scenarios to advocate for professionals, effective prevention, and system change.

Schools of Excellence in PreventionAndrea Hoff & Amie Burr 2120-Ohio Staters, Inc. Traditions Room

The Schools of Excellence in Prevention (SEP) program is sponsored by the Montgomery County Educational Service Center, Montgomery County ADAMHS, Wright State University, and Goodwill Easter Seals Miami Valley and is intended to support the implementation of high-quality, evidence-based prevention programming in Montgomery County schools. We know schools are tasked to provide many services to students beyond just academics, and most schools do not employ the subject area experts needed to provide quality prevention programming. Simply put, schools need help to support their students with substance misuse prevention and mental wellness strategies. The



SEP process allows schools to connect with subject area experts and provides support.

Statewide Universal Prevention: Lessons Learned with PAX GBGDennis Embry2131-East Archie M. Griffin Grand Ballroom

Since 2017 Ohio has undertaken an unprecedented scale-up of prevention by engaging local agencies and Cures -resulting in over 6,000 Ohio schoolteachers trained in the evidence-based universal preventive intervention, the PAX Good Behavior Game. This brings protection from psychiatric disorders and an array of other multi-problems to over 150,000 more Ohio children this year. This initiative also developed local and statewide infrastructure by training external and internal partners to support, troubleshoot, and increase fidelity and sustainability of implementations. This session will demonstrate the remarkable outcomes, lessons learned, and give communities options for expanding PAX GBG regardless of their current level of implementation.

Strength-Based Approach to Child Abuse and Neglect PreventionLindsay Williams, Eric Campfield, Dr. Sarah Nagle-Yang2144-Ohio Staters, Inc. Founders Room

As Ohio’s sole public funding source dedicated to child abuse and child neglect prevention, the Ohio Children’s Trust Fund (OCTF) is in the forefront of prevention activities throughout the state. The Mom Power Cleveland Project aims to bring an evidence-based short-term parenting and self-care skills group intervention to the Cuyahoga and Lake Counties. The Mom Power (MP) intervention targets mothers with experiences of trauma and current psychopathology (depression, anxiety and/or PTSD) with children less than 6 years old. It is a manualized, multi-modal 13-session intervention that targets improvements in self-care, mental health, parenting competence and connection to parenting supports.

QPR (Question, Persuade, Refer): Suicide Prevention TrainingNathan Ortlieb 2145-Senate Chamber

Creating and Sustaining Trauma Informed SchoolsTim Callahan2154-Student Alumni Council Room

Trauma is a pervasive, damaging and costly public health problem that is a near-universal experience for students with severe social, emotional and behavioral problems. Trauma damages the parts of the brain that students most need for school and life success. The Trauma-Informed approach helps create a safe and responsive school environment that improves self-regulation, reduces behavioral problems and enhances

46% of teachers report high daily stress. This may be impacting their students’ ability to reach their academic potential.

Introducing The Character Effect™, a universal social & emotional learning curriculum developed to reduce teacher stress, improve the school community’s culture by rallying all the adults in a student’s life around their strengths, and using mindfulness to keep them focused on learning.

student engagement. By adopting a Trauma-Informed approach, schools undertake a paradigm shift at the staff and organizational level to understand, recognize and address the needs of students impacted by trauma.

Cultural Competence and Social Justice Allyship: A Partnership for ChangeLucy Flowers & Janeece West 3020-Interfaith Prayer Room

Cultural competence is an overarching goal for prevention professionals. A way to enhance prevention professional cultural proficiency is to develop social justice allyship skills. Session participants will learn the definition of allyship, develop an understanding of identity and intersectionality, oppression, privilege, and learn some helpful strategies on interrupting microaggressions. This session will provide a toolkit to enact change!

Dancing Mindfulness: Building Resilience Through Movement and Mindful AwarenessLynette Cashaw Davis3140-Round Meeting Room

Dancing Mindfulness is an expressive arts experience open to everyone regardless of previous experience with dance, yoga, or meditation. We use dance as a way of discovering mindful awareness, and allow the participant to realize the rhythmic qualities of their breathing and heartbeats; to discover the healing properties in movement; and to express their personal recovery story through dance. Utilizing creative expression and wellness techniques, Dancing Mindfulness honors the invitation to “come as you are.” If you are the kind of person who likes to dance like no one is watching, or at least would like to try, the Dancing Mindfulness experience is for you!

The State of Suicide Prevention in OhioAustin Lucas1033-Alonso Family Room (Inside Multicultural Center)

Nearly five people every day die by suicide in Ohio and, with suicides on the rise in the State, the Ohio Suicide Prevention Foundation has many free resources, programs and training to address this public health crisis, especially in key high-risk populations.

This interactive presentation will give attendees an opportunity to learn about resources around the state but will also be an opportunity for participants to share about additional needs that OSPF could work to provide at the local level. Be prepared to learn about existing programming but this is also an opportunity to let Ohio’s Voice for Suicide Prevention hear what you need to help your local efforts be successful.

Ohio’s Prescription Drug Disposal Locator: A Tool Made for Coalitions With CoalitionsTessa Miracle2120-Ohio Staters, Inc. Traditions Room

From Trendy to Sustainable: Creating a SafeRx Campaign Which LastsAlyce Jennings2145-Senate Chamber

Distributing drug deactivation pouches has become a popular way to engage Ohioans in safely disposing unused prescription opioids and other medicines. Pouch distribution combined with information dissemination and community-based process can change the behavior of residents’ Rx med usage, storage and disposal. What happens when the opioid epidemic crests and community readiness decreases? How can coalitions use a pouch project to build capacity and sustainability? How can coalitions utilize evaluation tools to communicate change in community norms and success in safely disposing Rx meds? Ohio’s SafeRx Collaborative will share experiences in creating local, regional and state partnerships; tools for safe Rx usage, storage and disposal.



The Big Bowl Vote & How Alcohol Advertising Impacts Young PeopleEvi Roberts 2154-Student Alumni Council Room

“Studies show that alcohol advertising increases the likelihood and amount of underage drinking. That’s why alcohol companies spend tens of millions of dollars each year advertising their products on sports programming, especially college sports.
