The New England ATTC, in partnership with The Substance Use and Mental Health Leadership Council of Rhode Island is providing targeted TA in “Basic Group Counseling” on 5/19/22 from 9:00 am to 4:00 pm with subject matter expert Dee Lexandra, PhD, MSW. This course will provide the basic group counseling skills that apply evidence-based research into real world practice. Skills that address heterogeneous group populations (various stages of their recovery process, age, gender, cultural diversity, sexual orientations, substance use, dual diagnoses, socioeconomic status, education, and support systems) unique to substance use treatment will be provided. Upon completion of this course, participants will have the counseling skills to “join” individual group members where they are in their recovery process while utilizing their individual strengths and resources to create a “whole” resilient group.
