Florida Council for
Speaker Pro Temp, Representative Matt Hudson, was presented with a Behavioral Health Champions Award during our annual conference. Both The Council and FADAA honored him jointly for “His Leadership, Dedication and Service to Floridians with Behavioral Health Needs While Serving In Florida’s House of Representatives 2007-2016”.
Biggest and Best Annual Conference Yet!Mike Hansen President and CEO
As you know, the 2016 Annual Behavioral Health Conference broke a record both in terms of the number of participants and the quality of the presenters. Although there were many outstanding events at the conference, the attendance by Governor Rick Scott was particularly exciting.
Governor Scott joined us Thursday afternoon for a round table discussion with a small group of our CEOs. He asked us to convene the meeting in order to get information from us regarding recent successes and challenges in the behavioral health field. This gave our members the opportunity to share with the governor some of their concerns going forward and to thank him for approving our numerous member projects. Governor Scott was very gracious to our members and shared with us some of the issues he has been focusing on lately, including the mass shooting at Pulse, Zika, and his most important priority of ensuring that every Floridian has a job or an affordable educational opportunity.
Governor Scott later addressed the entire conference at the afternoon plenary. He talked about the challenges people and their families face when a loved
one has a mental illness and/or substance use disorder, and the governor mentioned that these issues have touched his family personally. Governor Scott shared his experiences in meeting with the families of the Pulse tragedy and how impressed he was with the support provided by the Orlando community. The governor did a special recognition for community providers involved in the Pulse shooting which included:
• Vicki Garner from Aspire Health Systems • Laura Gailey from Aspire Health Systems • Maria Bledsoe from Central Florida Cares • Lorie Lopez from IMPOWER • Keith Raskin from Aspire Health Systems • Donna Wyche from Orange County Government
The fact that Governor Scott was willing to attend our annual conference signals a positive shift in the attitude towards behavioral health in Florida. This positive shift was also expressed by the legislature through the passage of SB 12 and the significant new funding they invested in behavioral health programs. Clearly, we are not where we need to be yet in terms of public perception and more importantly funding, but we are definitely headed in the right direction.

Cover Story: 2016 Annual Conference - August 10–12, 2016
The 2016 Premier Behavioral Health Conference hosted by the Florida Council for Community Mental Health and the Florida Alcohol and Drug Abuse Association proved to be another successful event for both associations. The 2016 conference theme, Providing Value in Challenging Times, spoke to the ever changing behavioral health marketplace. New science, new medicine, new technology, and new opportunities are juxtaposed against the pressures of accountability, expectations for patient care, and financing challenges.
The conference had just over 1,300 individuals who participated; 87 different workshops/plenary sessions; 3 pre-conference sessions; 131 Speakers and 110 different vendors/sponsors. Every year the event continues to grow to new heights. It is our hope that participants use the conference as an opportunity to step away from work and use it as a time to learn, network, rejuvenate, relax, and unwind.

The Florida Department of Children and Families, Office of Substance Abuse and Mental Health, has developed an online training course titled “Overdose Prevention and Naloxone in Florida”. The purpose of this webinar is to examine the use of naloxone, a well-known and long used medication to reverse effects of opiates in the event of overdose. Step-by-step instructions for recognizing and responding to an opioid overdose will be presented. This session will also provide detailed information regarding Florida’s 911 Good Samaritan and Naloxone Access laws. At the conclusion of this training, participants will be able to 1) identify opioid overdose problems both statewide and nationally; 2) learn how to recognize and respond to opioid overdoses; and 3) understand Florida laws related to overdose prevention. This training is relevant to a variety of health and human service professionals and paraprofessionals, such as health care professionals (physicians, pharmacists, nurses, emergency medical personnel, etc.), law enforcement, mental health and addiction professionals, behavioral health technicians, recovery support personnel, and even family members of persons who use opioids. Participants will be offered 1 CEU after completing the course and a brief quiz. The course can be found at the following link: http://fcbonline-ed.mrooms3.net/course/index.php?categoryid=16
The course is taught by Amanda Muller, the Department’s Overdose Prevention Coordinator. Her primary goals include developing and implementing a statewide overdose prevention program and increasing awareness and utilization of the state’s Naloxone Access law. Prior to her role at DCF, Ms. Muller worked for the North Carolina Harm Reduction Coalition and provided overdose prevention training to first responders, medical professionals, and community members at risk of witnessing or experiencing an opioid overdose. She engaged in community-based naloxone distribution to help save lives and provide critical harm reduc-tion education. Amanda has also worked in infectious disease prevention at the Florida Department of Health, increasing access to statewide HIV counseling and testing services.
If you would like training on a specific naloxone product, please contact Amanda at 850-717-4431 or [email protected]
