About this Event
Please join us for a 4.5 CE Credit workshop on harm reduction techniques, addiction medicine, and methods for supporting friends and family members assisting impacted loved ones
This is an interactive, multi-presenter day of programming for clinicians working with individuals and families with substance use challenges. This workshop will provide the essentials of a harm reduction/mindfulness approach with Jen Levy, Ph.D., how to use addiction and functional medicine with Sonya Lazarevic, MD, and treatment approaches for families and loved ones of those impacted by substance use issues with Nicole Kosanke, Ph.D.
Following an overview of the current status of the addiction treatment field, there will be 3 discussions to follow -
I. "Addressing Addictive Issues from a Harm Reduction Framework": Participants will learn practical skills to work with cravings and reduce risk through guided practices that can be applied in a range of clinical settings.
II. "Conventional and Integrative Approaches in Addiction Psychiatry": The discussion will outline medications prescribed in stages of use, from abstinence to harm reduction, focusing on the most common substances of use.
III. "The Invitation To Change Approach: How to Help a Loved One Change": Participants will learn practical applications within these categories for how clients can take care of themselves while also influencing a loved one in positive ways.
