Webinar
Cultural Confidence and the Sequential Intercept Model
This webinar—hosted by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) Gather, Assess, Integrate, Network, and Stimulate (GAINS) Center—will provide participants with practical strategies to reduce racial and ethnic disproportionality among individuals with mental or substance use disorders who come into contact with the justice system. Across all intercepts of the Sequential Intercept Model (SIM), disproportionate representation of some racial and ethnic groups, including people with mental and substance use disorders, may stem from both community-based and criminal justice issues that hinder access to culturally responsive treatments and resources.

NW3C Webinar
Health Care Fraud and Money Laundering
In early 2020, the U.S. Treasury released its National Strategy for Combating Terrorist and Other Illicit Finance and at the top of the list was health care fraud. Health care fraud takes resources away from those who need it the most, and the proceeds are used to fuel lavish lifestyles, corruption, and crime. Participants in this no-cost webinar, sponsored by the National White Collar Crime Center (NW3C), will be given examples of how the fentanyl crisis has been exploited by corrupt practitioners. This session also will explore health care fraud and money laundering investigations.
Date: Monday, June 22
Time: 1:00 p.m. – 2:30 p.m., ET
