PUBLIC HEALTH UPDATE FROM CDC AND SAMHSA:
As the situation with COVID-19 rapidly evolves, SAMHSA is promoting the use of evidence-based resources and practices related to the virus. To avoid duplication of efforts, SAMHSA-funded initiatives, including PCSS, are disseminating information provided by SAMHSA or the CDC. Refer to the following links:
- CDC’s COVID-19 website;
- SAMHSA’s Guidance for OTPs;
- SAMHSA’s TAP 34, Disaster Planning Handbook for Behavioral Health Treatment Programs. SAMHSA Tips For Social Distancing, Quarantine, And Isolation During An Infectious Disease Outbreak
- SAMHSA Guidance on managing emotionally
- SAMHSA Medicare Telemedicine Healthcare Provider Fact Sheet: Medicare coverage and payment of virtual services
- SAMHSA COVID-19 Public Health Emergency Response and 42 CFR Part 2 Guidance
On-demand PCSS webinars and modules will remain accessible through the PCSS website. In regards to in-person trainings (such as MAT waiver trainings), you will be notified of any changes either by PCSS or the sponsoring organization. If you have questions regarding any PCSS activities, contact
[email protected].
Please note our staff will be working remotely until at least March 30, but it is our hope that this will be a seamless transition that will not affect how we serve you and provide online trainings. Our priority is to make certain everyone is safe and healthy while we continue to provide you with the information you need on a timely basis.

Now is the Perfect Time to Catch up on Your Online Trainings
|

As more and more conferences are canceled and practices utilize telemedicine as we practice social distancing, you may find yourself with some extra time. What better way to spend it than watching those webinars you wanted to participate in but couldn't? PCSSs webinars not only span a variety of topics pertaining to substance use disorder and treating chronic pain, but many also offer continuing education credit. If you haven't taken a look at
PCSS's recorded webinars in a while, now may be a good time.

Partner with Mothers to Seek and Support Recovery
Post Prenatal Opioid Exposure
This
new infographic outlines the fundamental opportunities presented to pediatricians to identify infants prenatally exposed to opioids and engage mothers with opioid use disorder into treatment and follow-up care. Described are the steps pediatricians can take to advance treatment and care for the mother-infant dyad within the context of the patient and family-centered medical home.
Substance Use During Pregnancy and Plans of Safe Care:
Implications for Pediatricians, Mothers and Infants
Punitive measures taken towards pregnant women are not in the best interest of the mother-infant dyad. The Child Abuse Prevention and Treatment Act’s (CAPTA) provisions around Plans of Safe Care (POSC) generated interest among pediatricians and their role in assuring that their patients and families receive individualized care within a family-centered system of services.
This fact sheet captures the core questions asked by pediatricians.
