If you have ever applied for CEUs from NASW-OR Chapter you know what I mean. And, since NASW is the only MH specialty that I know of that pre-approves CEUs it is like gold to all MH professionals needing credit fro their licenses. I just sent my brief bio in to Donna. It only takes two minutes to brag about yourself!

All trainers for a given training need to submit bios to get on the "approved" list to offer the CEUs. You can send training dates and locations as you know them. I will update the list quarterly. Thank you if you've already sent it! Please take 5-10 minutes to do it now, if you haven't. Send it to me at donna.noonan at state.or.us. Call or email me if you have questions (971-673-1023). I am going to send the application in on Monday, June 13th at the end of the day, so please get it to me by then. Thank you! Donna Donna G.

I just learned that the Oregon Pediatric Society is in the final stages of developing a training module on adolescent depression for primary care providers including pediatricians, nurse practitioners, family doctors, school-based health clinic practitioners, etc. and their staff. When complete, they will train practitioners statewide in screening, assessment, and treatment for adolescent depression and then help direct them to referral networks for mental health and other services as needed. They assume that mental health professionals interact appropriately with suicidal youth. We know from years of ASIST trainings that mental health professionals receive very little (if any) formal training or practice in suicide intervention in their education programs and that they benefit greatly from taking the ASIST training. If the medical community is going to be actively engaging in adolescent depression screening, we can help by ensuring the community referrals they make are to ASIST-trained professionals. Please see the attached evaluation of evaluation of ASIST that was done by national evaluators who conducted 20-30 minute interviews with participants in ASIST trainings 7-9 weeks after the training. This evaluation is from 13 ASIST trainings in 10 sites - two of them in Oregon. I think it's eye-opening and provides important information to share with mental health professionals and other community members to enlist them for an ASIST training. It's very exciting that primary care recognizes the importance of adolescent screening for depression and that they will receive hands-on training to help suicidal youth. They will need the support of having appropriately trained mental health professionals for referrals in the community and we can help with that! Thank you for all the good work you do. Donna Donna G.

I hope this state effort opens some doors for training in primary care. If we can't get docs to come maybe we can target the triage nurses or their intake folks.
