History UnErased is an education non-profit bringing life-affirming, life-changing, and life-saving LGBTQ history into the mainstream curriculum. We are the first and only organization entirely dedicated to providing K-12 schools with the curriculum and training they need to teach LGBTQ-inclusive, intersectional history, and our curriculum is aligned with every K-12 state framework for a more complete, complex, and empowering story of America.

This skills-based training is appropriate for clinicians, educators, healthcare professionals, and graduate students representing various disciplines. Please note: Due to the nature of this training, sessions will not be recorded so live participation is needed from registrants.

In four training sessions, we will examine facilitated conversations in a range of organizational contexts, driven by different content areas such as administration and leadership, conflict resolution, teambuilding, responses to traumatic events, and wellness, among others. Participants will:

1. Receive exposure to a five-step approach to facilitation of safe and effective assessments and interventions with individuals and groups experiencing trauma and intensive interpersonal stress.
2. Consider ways in which trauma and interpersonal stress impact them personally, professionally, and organizationally.
3. Reflect upon the influence of age, culture, development, ethnicity, gender, race, sexuality, spirituality, and responses to trauma in their work with clients, communities, and colleagues.
4. Utilize the group as a laboratory for learning, personal growth, and professional support.

Owing to the collective work of movement builders and advocates, the field of public health has begun to reckon with the longstanding and well documented health impacts of policing and incarceration. This resource includes 5 recommendations and specific actions for health departments to take to help end police violence.

Sometimes prevention practitioners cannot find a program, policy, or practice that is an acceptable fit for their community on a federal registry or searchable database. The next best place to look is in the peer-reviewed literature to identify other options. This handout provides a brief overview of how to approach searching through peer-reviewed or scientific papers. It outlines steps for conducting an unbiased literature search and includes tips and tricks for a thorough search.

Human Impact Partners transforms the field of public health to center equity and builds collective power with social justice movements.

The spirit of this Code of Ethics— and the spirit of our research — is heavily influenced by various forms of participatory research, wherein researchers, community organizers, and community members work as equal partners in the research process and develop deep, trusting relationships that extend beyond the research project. The intent of this Research Code of Ethics is to ensure our research is rigorous, equitable, and just, and to hold HIP staff accountable to the communities and the community organizing groups we conduct research with.
We envision using this document to:

• Introduce community organizing partners to our values as researchers
•  Address organizers’ concerns about ethical research practices 
•  Hold ourselves accountable to conducting ethical, responsible, and engaged research

Alcohol misuse is focused on binge and heavy drinking patterns within a community or at the population level. This guide will serve as a compendium of key policies for the prevention of alcohol misuse that have been identified as evidence-based by robust scientific literature.

Evidence-based substance misuse prevention starts with a clear understanding of the risk and protective factors driving substance misuse and related behavioral health problems present in communities. Many factors affect people's risk of misusing substances. Among these, the social determinants of health (SDOH) are some of the most important.

This tool is designed to educate prevention professionals about the SDOH, including what SDOH are and how they impact the risk of substance use.

This tool serves prevention specialists that want to establish positive relationships with Hispanic, Latino, or Latinx populations and those who are already working with this population and want to improve their cultural humility. The goal of this product is to help lessen the barriers that prevention specialists and Latino populations may face when discussing substance misuse and addiction. Covered in this tool are geography of Hispanic and Latino populations within New England, linguistics to consider, risk and protective factors, and New England state specific resources for people who identify as Hispanic, Latino, or Latinx with whom prevention specialists may want to connect.

This toolkit provides guidance for increasing participation and engaging stakeholders in change efforts.

Recent legislation in Massachusetts requires that parents of middle and high school athletes and other adults such as coaches, athletic directors, athletic trainers, and school nurses receive educational materials on the potential dangers of opioid use and misuse. The educational materials shall also be distributed in written form to all students participating in an extracurricular athletic activity prior to the commencement of their athletic seasons.

The Massachusetts Department of Public Health (MDPH), Massachusetts Interscholastic Athletic Association (MIAA) and Massachusetts Technical Assistance Partnership for Prevention (MassTAPP) collaborated to provide action steps to help prevent opioid misuse and overdose among student athletes. This fact sheet also highlight resources for addressing possible alcohol or opioid misuse or addiction.

In this brief, stock is taken from the existing research on strengths and resilience within Latinx families. Based on the analysis of the literature, this brief provides recommendations to researchers for advancing strength-based research on Latino families and to programs and practitioners for building on Latinx families’ strengths in service delivery.
