Video Summary

The symposium, titled "What is Your Kryptonite? How to Boost Your Superpowers," is led by Catherine Gates-Russell, CEO and Executive Director of AAAP, and focuses on how SAMHSA can advance the field of addiction studies. The symposium highlights several initiatives, including the Providers’ Clinical Support System (PCSS) and the Opioid Response Network (ORN). The PCSS provides resources to health professionals to enhance their knowledge in treating opioid and stimulant use disorders, emphasizing interprofessional collaboration. The ORN offers training and resources to address opioid and stimulant use in local communities across the United States, involving a wide array of professionals from health and legal fields.<br /><br />Moreover, the REACH program aims to increase racial and ethnic diversity within addiction leadership and promote culturally informed healthcare. It provides training, mentorship, and funding for projects focused on improving outcomes for racial and ethnic minority communities. The panel discusses challenges, particularly around diversity and inclusion, amidst current socio-political climates. Participants are encouraged to utilize these resources, get involved, and submit technical assistance requests for support in local initiatives. The event underscores collaboration, resource sharing, and the importance of community-driven solutions in advancing addiction treatment and professional support.
