Just-in-Time Smartphone Resonance Breathing for Self-Management of Drug Cravings, Stress, and Anxiety (PCSS Webinar Series)

September 10, 2024

Most treatments and interventions for Opioid Use Disorder (OUD) require that individuals engage in interpersonal communication with their health service providers or individuals in their recovery support network. However, at the specific moment when people resume their misuse of opioids, they are often alone or with people who enable their substance use. This webinar will provide information on the utilization of paced breathing exercises, delivered by smartphone, for self-management of drug cravings, stress, and anxiety. This session will include an overview of just-in-time interventions for substance use disorders, the biological basis for paced-breathing effectiveness, and user experience results from a pilot study.

September 25, 2024

In this webinar, researchers from the Social Action Lab at the University of Pennsylvania will discuss a novel, virtual social-behavioral intervention, GROV (Grid for Reduction of Regional Vulnerability), which is funded by the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) under the DP01 mechanism led by PI Dolores Albarracin. The presentation will showcase how the intervention seeks to foster effective social regulation of community challenges as a way of promoting HIV and HCV testing, preventing overdoses, seeking mental and physical health treatments, establishing social relationships, etc. The research team will delve into the intervention's design and procedures and share preliminary results during the webinar, followed by a question-and-answer session for attendees.

Electoral Activism: Voter Mobilization

September 26, 2024

CSWE is partnering with Voting is Social Work to offer a voter mobilization webinar. With the general election quickly approaching in November 2024, CSWE is excited to offer this webinar on ways for you to become civically engaged during this election cycle.  

Imagine if all 700,000 social workers in the U.S. each registered three people to vote, and they registered three more and so on. Social workers can leverage their skills through voter engagement; and bring more attention to their clients, communities, and the profession.  

This webinar will explore how social workers across the US can mobilize their clients, students, constituents, colleagues, and themselves to register and, more urgently to vote!
