Virtual One-day Training on Co-occurring Conditions: We Came, We Saw, We Conquered Together

This is an exclusive training for SEARHC - Southeast Alaska Regional Health Consortium. Please contact the hosting agency for registration details.

About the event

Co-occurring conditions are no longer the exception but instead are the expectation, requiring our programs to design services that address the interrelationship among complex physical, psychiatric, and substance use conditions. This curriculum will analyze where we came from, where we are now, and where we are headed to improve services for people with co-occurring conditions. The most up-to-date principles, terminology, treatment strategies, and effective program supports will be explored. This interactive training will engage participants through the use of discussion and small group exercises.
