SUMMARY:Preventing Youth Problem Gaming and Gambling
DESCRIPTION:ARE YOUTH GAMBLING WITH THEIR FUTURE? Gaming can be fun\, but it can also be risky. Although lottery tickets and video games may seem harmless\, the risks aren’t. Many video games imitate real-life gambling behaviors. In Virginia\, lottery tickets are illegal for youth under 18.  Youth who gamble before age 12 are 4 times more likely to develop gambling problems later in life. It’s important to recognize if gaming or gambling is starting to interfere with your life. Attend a virtual one-hour workshop to learn more about how to keep gaming fun and to increase your knowledge about its connection to youth gambling. \nWho Should Attend: \n• Youth \n• Parents/Caregivers \n• Youth Serving Professionals \n• Anyone interested in learning more! \nQuestions? Contact Wendy Hunt at whunt@pwcgov.org or (703) 792-3837. \nRegister Here: https://pwc-doit.webex.com/weblink/register/r71868416c21231c66e726c5536924e69

SUMMARY:Understanding ACEs: A Training to Recognize Adverse Childhood Experiences and Their Impact to Our Health and Wellbeing
DESCRIPTION:Understanding ACEs:\nA Training to Recognize Adverse Childhood Experiences and Their Impact to Our Health and Wellbeing\nWhat are ACEs?\nAdverse childhood experiences (ACEs) are traumatic childhood events\, such as abuse and neglect\, parental divorce\, domestic violence\, and parental mental illness\, among others.

ACEs can also make people more prone to suicide\, substance abuse\, poor work performance and a host of other negative outcomes. A trauma-informed perspective and approach to care can alleviate the negative impacts brought on by ACEs and significantly improve health outcomes. \n  \nTraining Objectives: \nParticipants will be able to expand their knowledge of: \n1. The importance of identifying and addressing adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) \n2. The impact of ACEs’ on the brain and behavior \n3. Why my community needs to get organized and mobilized to identify/address ACEs \n4. Developing a trauma-informed approach to care including self-care \n5. The role of ACEs in my life \nPlease register for by registering at the links below: \nMonday\, June 7 at 9:00 am\nhttps://zoom.us/meeting/register/tJYrd-CqqDgtHNATrXzDMyGFqoL2z6zyd5it \nThursday\, June 24 at 6:30pm\nhttps://zoom.us/meeting/register/tJIscO2gpjMtHNbJ0_8aIxOKQAJCbwo-vnBK \nSaturday\, July 10 at 9:30 am\nhttps://zoom.us/meeting/register/tJwld-yurz4uGNKNTxDuvIVJkmbqZD-9trXq \nPlease contact Heather Martinsen at 703-792-7739 or HMartinsen@pwcgov.org for more information.

SUMMARY:Blood Drive: Help Fill an Urgent Need
DESCRIPTION:The Red Cross has an emergency need for eligible blood donors as surgeries and other procedures ramp up as the coronavirus pandemic recedes. The next upcoming drive is: \n6/21/2021: 8 a.m. – 12 p.m.\, American Legion Post 364\, 3640 Friendly Post Ln (Woodbridge) \n \n\n\nThe need is especially great for platelet donations\, which are primarily given to cancer patients during treatment. Platelet donations must be transfused within five days and are always in high demand due to their short shelf life. \n\nPeople who have received a coronavirus vaccine can donate blood so long as they are symptom-free\, feeling well and can provide the vaccine manufacturer’s name\, according to the American Red Cross. There is no waiting period after getting a vaccine dose. \n\n\nAll blood types are needed\, especially type O\, to refuel the country’s blood stockpile for the spring and summer. \nIn most states\, donors need to be at least 17 years old\, weigh at least 110 pounds and be in generally good health; some states allow 16-year-olds to donate with parental consent. Donors 18 years old and younger need to meet certain height and weight requirements. \n\n\nDonors are asked to schedule an appointment prior to arriving at the drive. Appointments can be made via the American Red Cross Blood Donor App\, online or by calling 1-800-RED CROSS. \n\n6/21/2021: 8 a.m. – 12 p.m.\, American Legion Post 364\, 3640 Friendly Post Ln (Woodbridge)

SUMMARY:Free ONLINE REVIVE! NARCAN TRAINING
DESCRIPTION:ONLINE REVIVE! NARCAN TRAINING\n\nOPEN TO RESIDENTS OF PRINCE WILLIAM COUNTY and CITIES OF MANASSAS and MANASSAS PARK \nOverdoses can happen in unexpected situations and to anyone: a friend\, a family member\, a coworker\, at home\, outside\, or in a public place. You may not know that someone is at risk of overdose- stigma prevents many who use drugs from telling others and physical distancing can create social isolation. \nDo you know how to help someone who has overdosed on opioids?\nPrince William Community Services is offering a free online class that will provide the knowledge and confidence you need to potentially save a life during an opioid overdose emergency. \nDuring this 60-minute virtual class\, presented by a qualified instructor from the Behavioral Health Wellness team\, you will learn:\n• How to recognize the signs and symptoms of an opioid overdose.\n• How to administer Narcan nasal spray to potentially reverse the effects of an opioid overdose.\n• Other knowledge needed to fully respond to an opioid overdose emergency (what to do and not do). \nTo access the online class\, you will need a desktop\, laptop\, tablet computer\, or cellphone equipped with a camera\, microphone\, and speakers. Registration will be confirmed via an email\, which will contain course log-in instructions. Upon completion of the online training\, participants will receive the REVIVE! kit (two CPR mouth barriers\, vinyl gloves\, stickers\, instruction card) and/or no-cost naloxone.
