You’ll be able to join a different Zoom session\, from a stationary place\, at a later date. \nDescription: \nFor decades\, a common research finding reported in the media has been that low-level drinking can be beneficial. In the last few years there have been a lot of headlines suggesting there is no “safe” amount of drinking. What does the best evidence tell us\, and do the low-risk guidelines on alcohol need to be lowered? \nGoals:   \nThis session will focus on limitations of research and how these affect what we can confidently conclude from the best evidence. \nObjectives: \nAt the conclusion of this session\, participants will be able to: \n\nIdentify at least two limitations of research which might downplay the risks and overstate the potential benefits of low-level consumption.\nIdentify at least two ways the alcohol industry has attempted to influence alcohol research.\nIdentify at least two limitations to studies which might downplay the potential benefits and overstate the risks of low-level consumption.\nIdentify at least two ways low-level drinking seems to have potential health benefits for some people.\nIdentify at least two health problems that low-level drinking might increase risk for some people.\n\nDates and Times (EASTERN TIME) \nJuly 17\, 2025: 11:00 AM – 12:30 PM Eastern Time \nTime Zone Converter (Zoom also gives you the option to add it to your local calendar): https://time.is/compare

SUMMARY:It Starts with Us: How Our Presence Impacts Change w/ special guest Sarah Niecko NEW!
DESCRIPTION:Register for this event \n*Repeated Session \nAll sessions are live-hosted\, screen-to-screen 1.5 hour Continuing Education Sessions (CES) with PRI Trainers. All sessions will be presented via Zoom.

You’ll be able to join a different Zoom session\, from a stationary place\, at a later date. \nDescription: \nIn this interactive workshop\, University of Alaska professor Dr. Sarah Niecko blends scientific insights with experiential exercises to examine the physiology of safety and connection\, and how our presence impacts both learning and the change process. Participants will explore how the way we enter the learning space shapes the environment and influences what becomes possible for learners. Attendees will also learn practical strategies to support their own regulation\, with the understanding that tending to our internal state is not separate from our work\, it is an essential element of how we support others. \nGoals: \nParticipants will identify one personal default regulatory pattern that occurs when stress arises\, apply one to two strategies to return to a grounded responsive state during facilitation\, and identify one change in personal instruction that could be made to facilitate learning. They will also leave with one specific strategy that can be implemented to foster safety\, curiosity\, and reflection in the learning environment. \nLearning Objectives: \n\nDescribe how instructor self-regulation influences the learning environment.\nIdentify common patterns that can impact the learning environment.\nDevelop awareness of their own regulatory patterns and how self-regulation can be used to promote learning.\nPractice simple\, in-the-moment strategies to return to a more grounded\, responsive state.\nApply these insights to create environments that support safety\, curiosity\, and meaningful reflection.\n\nDates and Times (EASTERN TIME) \nJuly 17\, 2025: 1:00 – 2:30 PM Eastern Time \nTime Zone Converter (Zoom also gives you the option to add it to your local calendar): https://time.is/compare

Learners are also required to attend sessions in full for credit hours to be awarded.  Participants will receive a survey email after the session and will receive a certificate once the survey has been submitted. The link to the surveys are also available on the instructor site under “My Trainings.” Note\, participants must attend the entire session. \nPRI supports low risk driving choices. Therefore\, we will remove anyone who is driving on a Zoom call hosted by our team. So as to not further distract\, we will not chat or verbally ask questions first. You’ll be able to join a different Zoom session\, from a stationary place\, at a later date.

SUMMARY:Prime Solutions Level I Training
DESCRIPTION:Join us for Prime Solutions Level I Training! Prime Solutions® is a “flexibly standardized” approach to treatment. It provides flexibility for counselors to meet the varied needs of clients\, along with the standardization state and local agencies require to ensure quality. Consistent with Motivational Interviewing\, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy\, and the Transtheoretical Model of Change\, all 20 session topics are designed for easy integration with Twelve-Step involvement and enriched with carefully developed media. \nTraining participants must be able to attend all 3 sessions and complete independent work between live meetings (via Zoom). Each session is 2 hours in length. \nUS Date and Time: \n\nNovember 5\, 2026: 1:00-3:00PM ET\nNovember 12\, 2026: 1:00-3:00 PM ET\nNovember 19\, 2026: 1:00-3:00 PM ET\n\n\nThe training fee is $600*. \n*Note: For approved GA DBHDD providers the training fee is reduced to $400.00 (must enter provider number on the registration form.) For those providing services to active members of the military\, the fee is $400.00. \nHours: \n\nPRI has been accredited as an Authorized Provider by The Association for Addiction Professionals (NAADAC). Approximately 13 hours will be awarded and the participant will receive their training certificate after all online requirements have been completed. It is the participant’s responsibility to establish whether hours earned in PRI events fulfill credentialing requirements of affiliated agencies. We begin promptly at the time indicated. Due to the sequential nature of the training process\, please understand we cannot admit late participants. Total contact hours awarded will be stated on the certificate received by participants after the event. \nPlease note: attending the same learning event more than once\, even as a “refresher\,” does not meet the credentialing criteria Prevention Research Institute must follow to award hours. This does not mean that you cannot attend any NIT\, PS\, or CE session more than once; it simply means that doing so will serve as a personal learning opportunity only (no hours will be awarded the second time).
