TOPIC: Community Wise, a social work multi-level SUD intervention
This presentation will describe a new evidence based social work multi-level intervention designed to reduce substance misuse and promote health equity in predominantly Black and urban marginalized communities. Following introductions, we will describe the overall intervention, its development, theoretical framework, and findings from the latest research. Next, we will provide an in-depth description of the two intervention’s active ingredients including Critical Dialogue and Capacity Building Projects. This will include information on how the components are delivered and examples from formed participants. We conclude with a discussion on the promise of a Community Wise in changing social work SUD practice in predominantly Black and marginalized communities. Learning objectives include:
• To understand how multi-level interventions can be used to address substance misuse.
• To understand how critical consciousness theory can be applied to social work practice in the field of substance use disorders
• To learn how Critical Dialogue and Capacity Building Projects can be incorporated in social work practice
This four-part Substance Use Disorders Webinar Series is funded by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) Opioid State Targeted Response (STR) Technical Assistance Grant.
