This training introduces trauma-informed care, helping healthcare staff adopt a "trauma-informed lens" in patient interactions. It covers the definition of psychological trauma, its link to diagnosis, and the individual, community, and environmental causes of trauma. Topics include the subjective nature of trauma responses, relational health, post-traumatic growth and basic trauma neuroscience. Attendees will learn interventions to regulate a distressed nervous system and leave prepared to assess and support clients using a trauma-informed approach.
Co-occurring conditions are no longer the exception, and instead are the expectation, requiring our programs to design services that address the interrelationship among complex physical, psychiatric, and substance use conditions. This curriculum analyzes 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 support will be explored. This interactive training will engage participants through the use of discussion and small group exercises.
This interactive workshop focuses on the major elements of using the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual for Mental Disorders, Fifth Edition, Text Revision (DSM-5-TR). Upon completion of this course, participants will have a greater understanding of the DSM-5-TR and how to use this tool for the objective, evidenced-based diagnosing of a client in order to help the clinician in the assessment/placement decision making. Participants will be able to recognize the difference between use, abuse, and dependence that existed in the DSM-IV-TR and the ability to understand and consistently utilize the new diagnostic criteria of Substance-Related and Addictive Disorders (mild, moderate and severe). A detailed class by class breakdown of changes from the DSM-5 to the DSM-5-TR in the Substance-Related and Addictive Disorders chapter will be presented. Multiple exercises will enable participants to utilize critical thinking while helping them to gain inter-rater reliability in making a diagnostic impression using the DSM-5-TR. Participants will be presented with an overview of other diagnostic additions/changes that have occurred from the DSM-IV-TR to the DSM-5-TR.
