National Training Initiative Buckeye SCOPE: Supporting Children of the OPioid Epidemic
Project Description:
Buckeye SCOPE: Supporting Children of the OPioid Epidemic, is a training initiative intended to build provider capacity and confidence in applying evidence-based practices in screening, monitoring, and interdisciplinary support for children and families diagnosed with Neonatal Abstinence Syndrome (NAS), Neonatal Opioid Withdrawal Syndrome (NOWS), or who are suspected of being impacted by opioid use, trauma, or related exposure. The training initiative will build upon the effective pilot SCOPE ECHO virtual training model that was developed and implemented in 2018-2019 and will include information on the following topics: Introduction to the Opioid Crisis & Social Determinants of Health, Self-Care Techniques & Self-Reflective Practice, Addiction & Treatment, Neonatal Abstinence Syndrome (NAS) & Neonatal Opioid Withdrawal Syndrome (NOWS), Trauma Informed Care/Practices, Impacts of Trauma on Development, Developmental Monitoring, Models of Care. The training initiative will identify and train early childhood professionals throughout Ohio and improve outcomes by linking research to practical application in local communities, providing opportunities to share knowledge and findings with statewide networks and federal agencies, and providing recommendations for future interventions.
