Edward Riedel, MSW

Mary Quandt, MPH

Emily Srygley

Briana Wheatley

Presentation: The presentation will introduce the audience to the Epharmix Texting and Telecoaching intervention implemented through a three year SAMHSA grant awarded to the Behavioral Health Network. The interventions were targeted to the Missouri high risk populations (Disease Management and State Targeted Response clients). The intervention uses algorithms to text or call consumers and alert staff to potential problems with individuals managing their substance use, mental health and physical health recovery. The system adjusts its responses and alerts providers based on consumer responses. The intervention has been used extensively in medical care and has been shown to increase communication with the providers, support of recovery and monitoring of chronic health conditions.

Objectives:

  1. Introduce the Epharmix Intervention and how it is used in substance use, mental health and physical health condition management
  2. Review data demonstrating the effectiveness of the intervention in high risk populations
  3. Review consumer testimony about their use of the technology
  4. Describe the multiple types of interventions and how providers can assign and customize them to meet individual consumer needs

Grief Process & Support Systems for Young Military Widows

Speaker(s):

Amanda McCullough, BS

Adriatik Likcani, PhD

Blake Dorsey

Presentation: For the last 17 years, the US military has been engaged in combat operations in Iraq and Afghanistan. There have been many casualties because of these combat operations. These casualties of war left behind families that grieve their loss. This has created many young widows, a role which is traditionally thought to be at a much later stage in life. The loss of a spouse can be one of the most difficult losses to experience with far-reaching consequences. Presenters will describe the findings of their study with young widows which explored how these young widows experienced the sudden traumatic loss of their spouse, explore the support systems used by these widows to cope with their loss and navigate the transition in their identity. Researchers will present findings and discuss interventions that counselors and therapists can utilize when working with this population.

 

Objectives:

  1. Describe how these young widows experienced the sudden traumatic loss of their spouse
  2. Describe the support systems used by these widows to cope with their loss and navigate the transition in their identity
  3. Identify interventions that can be utilized when working with young military widows
