Adolescents and Substance Use: Using Our Knowledge and Their Strengths to Find Recovery
Friday, December 9, 2022 at 8 AM - 12 PM CST

This training will address epidemiology, neurobiology, effective screening and assessment, and evidence-based treatment. More specifically, you will learn: the neurobiological difference of adolescents and how substance use impacts that development; how to identify evidence-based screening, assessment, and treatment strategies for adolescents with substance use disorders; to consider the impact that co-occurring psychiatric disorders can have in youth with substance use disorders; and how to identify language and stigma as a barrier for substance use disorder assessment and treatment.
