Supporting NJ's prevention workforce πŸ™Œ

Yesterday, NJPN CEO Diane Litterer presented a workshop for prevention professionals who support the NJ4S initiatives for Hudson and Union counties at Partners in Prevention.

During the one day class, preventionists learned how to effectively implement environmental change strategies in their communities, with a goal of achieving better health outcomes for all.

NJPN has long stood at the forefront of prevention in New Jersey, connecting and collaborating with local organizations doing important substance use prevention work -- and that continues to this day! ✨

Our first line responders face unique challenges and a distinct occupational culture surrounding trauma response and seeking help. That's why we introduced a new course, First Responder Competency: What Clinicians Need to Know, to equip clinicians with knowledge and strategies to effectively support first responders seeking help.

Huge thanks to Nicholas Ricciotti, LAC, for bringing this much needed and insightful course to our clinical students!

🌈 At NJPN, we believe that everyone, regardless of who they are or who they love, deserves access to compassionate, affirming care across the full continuum of substance use prevention, clinical treatment, and peer recovery support.

LGBTQ+ individuals face disproportionately high rates of substance use and mental health challenges, often driven by stigma, discrimination, and lack of affirming support. The workforce we train and the professionals we support play a critical role in changing that.

This month (and every month) we are committed to building a New Jersey where every person feels seen, supported, and worthy of care. πŸ’šβ™₯οΈπŸ’™πŸ’œπŸ§‘

Interested in learning more about cultural competency and providing LGBTQ+ affirming care? Check out our Summer Empower Hour webinar planned for June 25: https://hubs.li/Q04k0pgt0
