Jan. 14th 1:00pm – 2:30pm\, \nComplex and Emerging Military Exposure Threat. \nRegister Here \nThis live\, knowledge-based webinar is put on by the War-Related Illness and Injury Study Center (WRIISC) within Health Outcomes Military Exposures (HOME). While military exposures are inherently complex\, not all Veterans require in-depth evaluations of their clinical issues and concerns. Navigating the puzzle of how military exposures may or may not be related to a Veteran’s medical issues can be complicated\, and understanding how to address these at the primary care level is the first step. In addition\, awareness of additional resources\, how to effectively work-up exposure concerns initially\, and determining when and how to consult higher levels of exposure informed specialty care are the critical next steps. \nThis session will explore aspects of complex and emerging exposure cases and cohorts and considerations to optimize consultations with the War Related Illness and Injury Study Centers (WRIISCs) and their Centers of Excellence. Research aimed at calculating exposure dose estimates using objective and subjective military environmental exposure data will be presented as an example of the type of projects under development at the new Complex Exposure Threats Center of Excellence (CETCE) in Washington DC. This training is appropriate for interprofessional health care teams. \nShare this:\n Share on Facebook (Opens in new window)\n Facebook\n \n Share on X (Opens in new window)\n X\n \n Share on LinkedIn (Opens in new window)\n LinkedIn\n \n Print (Opens in new window)\n Print URL:https://ashburnlegion.org/event/complex-and-emerging-military-exposure-threat/ CATEGORIES:American Legion END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20250115T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20250115T140000 DTSTAMP:20260406T135814 CREATED:20250102T123407Z LAST-MODIFIED:20250102T123407Z UID:3588-1736938800-1736949600@ashburnlegion.org SUMMARY:Loudoun Job Fair DESCRIPTION:The Loudoun Workforce Resource Center will host a Loudoun Job Fair on Wednesday\, January 15\, 2025\, 11:00 a.m. – 2:00 p.m.\, at the Claude Moore Recreation & Community Center\, 46105 Loudoun Park Lane in Sterling. \nThe Loudoun Job Fair will feature more than 30 local employers with full-time\, part-time and seasonal job openings in Loudoun County.

Jan. 15th 3:00pm – 4:30pm\, \nIntegrating Artificial Intelligence (AI) in Substance Use Counseling. \nRegister Here \n  \nDescription\nEarly in the COVID-19 pandemic\, addiction professionals scrambled to embrace a technology that only 5 to 10% of them had previously dabbled in—telehealth.  Just as many of us felt like we’d achieved at least a moderate level of competency in telehealth\, artificial intelligence (AI) emerged as another mysterious\, exciting\, and—perhaps—terrifying technology to have to contend with\, creating a slew of relevant questions: Can AI help me write my progress notes and treatment plans?  How do I handle the fact that my counseling students are using AI to write their papers for them?  What’s up with the creation of AI bots that offer mental health advice to our clients?  Does AI perpetuate ethnoracial stereotypes?  Will AI make counselors obsolete?  This presentation was designed to offer an overview of how AI can (and already has) impact the counseling field and strategies for the ethical and impactful use of AI in counseling. \nShare this:\n Share on Facebook (Opens in new window)\n Facebook\n \n Share on X (Opens in new window)\n X\n \n Share on LinkedIn (Opens in new window)\n LinkedIn\n \n Print (Opens in new window)\n Print URL:https://ashburnlegion.org/event/integrating-artificial-intelligence-ai-in-substance-use-counseling/ CATEGORIES:American Legion END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20250116T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20250116T123000 DTSTAMP:20260406T135814 CREATED:20250102T172952Z LAST-MODIFIED:20250102T172952Z UID:3616-1737025200-1737030600@ashburnlegion.org SUMMARY:Nature Based Therapy (NBT) for Veterans DESCRIPTION:Thurs.
