4.2025 WISE-SBIRT Webinar

Join us for an informative webinar presented by OASAS on Wellness Initiative for Senior Education (WISE) – Screening, Brief Intervention, and Referral to Treatment (SBIRT) and its critical role in supporting older adults. This session will explore how WISE & SBIRT have the potential to enhance substance use screening and intervention within the Partnerships to Support Aging in Place (PSAP) project sites, helping providers address the unique behavioral health needs of aging populations.

WISE is a program for older adults that focuses on healthy aging and making healthy lifestyle choices. This includes education topics such as substance misuse, medication management, stress management, and depression.

SBIRT incorporates screening for all types of substance use with brief interventions designed to guide participants in a conversation to identify goals and values, increase motivation to address problematic substance use, and set goals for improving health.

Learn how these evidence-based approaches can improve care coordination and promote healthier aging in community-based settings.
