Co-Occurring Substance Use and Mental Health Disorders (COD) often present difficulties for our most knowledgeable and well-trained behavioral health professionals.
The treatment of individuals suffering with COD is further complicated by the fact that many professionals have little time to increase their knowledge in assessing and treating co-occurring disorders.
Whether you need to take a step back to examine your own personal beliefs about serving clients with COD, strengthen coordination for additional services, collaborate with other providers and make appropriate referrals, this training will assist your professional efforts in delivering effective strategies while serving the COD population.
Trainer Jamelia Hand, MHS, CADC, MISAI serves as an Advisory Board member for Governors State University's Addictions Studies Program, board member of the Illinois Certification Board, board member for NAADAC and also serves as the President of the Governors State University Addiction Studies Alumni Club. She speaks passionately to many family groups, treatment centers and corporate organizations. Her message always includes that substance use disorder is a family disease and should be treated as such.
This event is sponsored by the Great Lakes Addiction Technology Transfer Center and the Great Lakes Mental Health Addiction Technology Transfer Center in partnership with the Illinois Association for Behavioral Health.
