COVID Vaccine: Get the Facts
Vaccine Myth: If I've recovered from COVID-19, I don't need to
get vaccinated. Vaccine Truth/Fact: Even if you tested positive for
COVID-19 and have recovered, you should still get vaccinated. There
is evidence of reinfection in some individuals. Early evidence
suggests natural immunity from COVID-19 may not last very long. The
vaccination should not occur until the individual has met the
criteria to discontinue isolation. For more information, go to
MOStopsCOVID.com.

science of psychoneuroimmunology, discovering how our thoughts are
the first and maybe the most important thing impacting our health
and well-being.

serving us now.
March 5, Head, Heart and Gut: If we learn to pay attention, our
bodies can inform us how to make wise decisions, though early

self-care.

wounds.

can look at how we move forward, changed by what we have
experienced and continuing to feel as we go and see what path
appears as the dust settles and we build a new world.

21. New Supporting Peers Providing Services at Intercept 0 –
Peer support specialists often serve as first responders to
individuals who are experiencing a crisis in the community and
who are at risk of interfacing with the justice system. However,
standardized peer trainings do not always include specific
considerations for responding to a behavioral health crisis, such
as physical safety and risk for secondary trauma. This webinar will
present practical information from the field and highlight new
innovations to support peers who respond to mental and substance
use crises at Intercept 0 of the Sequential Intercept Model.
Presenters will discuss safety considerations, opportunities for
leveraging technology, and promising practices that have emerged in
response to the COVID-19 pandemic. Thursday, February 25, 2021,
1:30-3pm CT. Register
22. New Skills that Actually Matter: What Does (and Does Not)

introduce participants to seven characteristics/skills identified
in research that really do help clients get better, and offer
practical tips on how to grow in a few of these key areas.
