Project SCOPE National Training Initiative
Supporting Children of the OPioid Epidemic (SCOPE)
Project SCOPE, Supporting Children of the OPioid Epidemic, is a national initiative to train interdisciplinary teams on emerging knowledge and evidence-based practices in screening, monitoring and collaborative care for children impacted by Neonatal Abstinence Syndrome (NAS), Neonatal Opioid Withdrawal Syndrome (NOWS), or who are suspected of being impacted by opioid use, trauma, or related exposure.
The Institute of Human Development has been awarded a grant to organize and lead a series of trainings for practitioners, clinicians, therapists, home visitors, Head Start staff, counselors, families, and individuals interested in learning more about supports for children on the Navajo Nation exposed to substance use. The trainings will focus on children from birth to three years of age. These initial trainings will serve to build a community of receiving and sharing resources specifically with the Navajo Nation.
The Institute of Human Development will use the Extension of Community Health Outcomes (ECHO) model to provide free continuing education using an instructional and case study reflection approach through video conferencing.
