Educational Objectives
–Â
Upon completion, attendees will be able to:
(1) identify how positionality shapes the way you perceive Black women and how these perceptions, combined with the power you have in your professional position, disrupts and/or contributes to health inequities, and
(2) define misogynoir and identify potential actions for health equity for Black women at multiple levels (e.g., individual, interpersonal, community, institutional, structural, cultural).
Speaker:
Vanessa V. Volpe, PhD
Assistant Professor of Psychology at North Carolina State University, Diversity Scholar, University of Michigan National Center for Institutional Diversity, Director of the Black Health Lab at North Carolina State University.
This event will describe the pervasive threat of misogynoir for health equity for Black women. We will discuss examples of how misogynoir manifests in health psychology contexts, the ways in which our positionalities shape our perceptions of Black women, and concrete actions to disrupt misogynoir for health equity at multiple levels of the social-ecological system. The target audience for this workshop are psychologists who are interested in learning more about Black-White racial disparities in women’s health and how they can be addressed (intermediate level). Please note that we will not be focusing on reproductive health or maternal health, although examples specific to these contexts will be mentioned.
Dr. Volpe is an applied health psychologist with a focus on the reduction of racial health disparities by employing critical psychological and social justice lenses. Her research aims to explicate the processes by which and the contexts in which individuals resist and protect themselves against forms of individual-, cultural- and structural-level marginalization (e.g., racism, sexism, heterosexism), with specific attention to the preservation of health for Black individuals and communities. Her most recent applied health psychology research has focused on 1) structural racism, 2) media, technology, and online processes, and 4) awareness of health disparities.

How can you be doing more to promote health and well-being in your workplace?
Research consistently shows that self care and health promotion in psychologists trickles down to our patients, students, and coworkers. Self care and health promotion in personal life has the ability to transform our workplaces, change our training culture, and bolster our ability to engage in activism. Many of us need more self care than ever in the current tumultuous social climate.
Join us for a discussion with experts in the field, reviewing research, talking about far-reaching implications for this work, and setting practical goals for self care, health promotion, and furthering clinical and research work in this area.

Pain continues to be the leading reason why patients seek out medical treatment. However, treating pain may include use of opioid analgesics that have a risk of abuse or dependence. This teleconference covers some of the challenges and opportunities to improve treatment for patients struggling with chronic pain and opioid use. Participants will learn to differentiate between categories of pain, develop an awareness of the role of interdisciplinary care in pain evaluation and treatment, acquire an understanding of the use of functional pain assessments, and gain familiarity with the epidemiology of opioid prescribing for pain and pathways to reduce opioid use.

Health policy directly affects individuals’ wellbeing and public health at large.
Health policy briefs are short reports about health written in plain language to be easily understood by policy makers, congressional staffers, and other decision makers to inform health policy. While most psychologists and healthcare professionals are interested in health policy and have the skills and knowledge to inform health policy, few have training in how to do so.
This teleconference offers guidance on how to write health policy briefs and get more involved in health policy work. In addition, a brief overview will be provided about how to respond to request for public comments on national health policy recommendations and guidelines.
