“Join the Association of Asian Pacific Community Health Organizations (AAPCHO) for a webinar detailing the essential role of enabling services (ES) staff and Asian American (AA) and Native Hawaiian/Pacific Islander (NH/PI)-serving health centers to engage youth patients. Building trust among youth is paramount for engaging youth in care. Culturally-responsive and identity-affirming care strategies include social drivers of health (SDOH) education through cultural farming practices, traditional arts, and peer outreach to ensure that youth have access to care.
Learning Objectives: After this webinar, participants will be able to:
Identify the ES workforce providers who may conduct SDOH assessments with youth;
Highlight the value of youth-serving staff and impact on patient access to care; and
Demonstrate the impact of youth-informed social interventions.
Speaker: Jocelyn Howard, MSW, Chief Executive Officer, We Are Oceania
Moderator: Nashia Choudhury, MPH, Director of Programs, Health Care Transformation, AAPCHO
Audience: Community Health Workers, patient navigators, other ES providers, clinical staff interfacing with ES workforce, and health data analysts as a primary audience. Secondary audience is leadership (e.g operations, finance, and health IT).

Safety, Compassion, and Dignity: A One-Day Symposium on Harm Reduction, Healing Justice, and Mental Health Approaches @6AM HST
“Join the Pacific Southwest Mental Health Technology Transfer Center (PS MHTTC) for a special, no-cost, full-day symposium to uplift the origins, approaches, and practices of harm reduction in mental health work. Our region is proud to be a national incubator of this approach: the National Harm Reduction Coalition started in Oakland, CA over 25 years ago. Throughout our region, providers and systems leaders are partnering with people with lived experience to reimagine how we take care of each other (sometimes through systems, sometimes despite systems, and sometimes within systems).
While harm reduction has roots in substance abuse, it is also a vital mental health approach. We are holding this symposium to explore how the tenets of harm reduction and healing justice can inform and transform the way we engage in mental health care.
We come together to explore these questions:
By centering the lived and living experience of people and communities, how might community-driven public health strategies help us care for our clients and patients differently?
How might we as service providers listen and learn from communities who are already taking care of each other, saving each other’s lives in ways that might be uncomfortable but necessary?
Our symposium captures innovative approaches to harm reduction with presenters from across the region who work within diverse settings and populations. We also honor voices of lived experience by creating rich learning opportunities throughout the day that explore how our mental health policies, programs, and practices can minimize stigma and discrimination and maximize respect, health, and self-direction.”

Hep Screening for Persons Experiencing Homelessness @5AM HST
“At the heart of HCV elimination is the pursuit of health equity. HCV elimination must include everyone. Persons who experience homelessness often are at increased risk of hepatitis C and face more limited access to care. Screening strategies to reach persons who are experiencing homelessness must be community-based and person-centered through leveraging innovations such as point-of-care testing; reflex testing; partnering with peer navigators; and integration with harm reduction, other medical screening initiatives, and other social services. Join us for the next installment of our Hep Test series to hear from experienced programs who have developed effective models of care to reach persons experiencing homelessness.

Bernadette Lettner and Doug Belanger, Toronto Community Hepatitis C Program, Toronto, Canada
Joshua Choi, Los Angeles Christian Health Centers, California, United States

POSTPONED: National Hep C Elimination Bill Updates @9AM HST
As of March 25, 2024:
“The webinar scheduled for Wednesday, March 27 from 3-4 pm ET to discuss updates on the upcoming national hepatitis C virus (HCV) elimination legislation is now postponed.
The bill is still being assessed by the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) and will be introduced in Congress in the coming weeks after the CBO analysis is complete. Bill text will not be finalized until after receiving a CBO score. The NASTAD Policy & Legislative Affairs and Hepatitis teams are closely monitoring the bill’s progress behind the scenes and will reschedule the webinar when there is a clearer timeline for bill introduction.”
___________________________________________
“Please join the NASTAD Policy & Legislative Affairs and Hepatitis teams for a webinar on Wednesday, March 27 from 3-4 pm ET to discuss updates on the upcoming national hepatitis C virus (HCV) elimination bill.
On March 9, 2023, the Biden-Harris Administration debuted a proposal for a national program to set the country on the path to eliminate the public health threat of HCV in the US. The 5-year, non-discretionary program would infuse resources to scale up core HCV services, such as screening, testing and treatment, prevention, and surveillance, and includes a focus on populations that are disproportionately affected by the HCV epidemic. Notably, the elimination bill would introduce a bulk purchasing drug procurement mechanism to link more people to affordable or no-cost direct-acting antiviral treatment for HCV.
NASTAD is working closely with the Biden-Harris Administration, Congress, and public health coalitions to advance this landmark investment for HCV prevention and care. This webinar will cover the latest updates on the bill’s status, cover the key components of the bill, and discuss the next steps to pass the bill once it is introduced in Congress.
…If you have any questions ahead of the event, please contact Julio Contreras at jcontreras@nastad.org.”

· The impact of different naloxone doses and formulations on people who receive them
· The role of oxygen in community overdose response
· Communication strategies for bystander overdose response steps
The purpose of the Summit is to:
Center harm reduction experiences and community voices in the national dialogue on overdose response and drive a narrative that is grounded in harm reduction values and compassion for the person experiencing an overdose.
Generate communication strategies that help those working in overdose response advocate for their program needs.
Create a written product that sustains the event’s conclusions.
Together with HMA, this is event is supported by Vital Strategies, Harm Reduction Therapeutics, and the University of Pittsburgh.”

Hep Can’t Wait: Women Living with Hep @1AM HST
“Women living with viral hepatitis face unique challenges. Hepatitis affects women differently throughout the stages of their lives, and there is limited research on the burden of hepatitis among women. Their experience of living with hepatitis is also often looked at through the lens of prevention of mother-to-child transmission (PMTCT)—despite hepatitis not only affecting pregnant mothers. Women living with hepatitis often experience stigma and discrimination, which can be different to the stigma that men face. Ahead of International Women’s Day, this panel discussion and Q&A will explore the unique perspectives of women living with hepatitis and will celebrate the women that are driving the hepatitis response and supporting other women living with hepatitis.”
