Chemical Dependency Training Consortium of the Northwest presents Breaking Cycle of Family Dysfunction: How Providers Can Help Stop It
PeaceHealth Southwest Mill Plain Campus Health Education Center
Vancouver, WA
Share this event:


The purpose of this training is to increase treatment providers' awareness of how generational dysfunction and family specific dysfunction contributes to the progression of addiction and/or mental health disorders. Participants will be introduced to Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders (FASD), the Parent Child Assistance Program, The University of Washington FASD Diagnostic Team, and The Division of Children and Family Services. FASD through the lifespan, family system, and multigenerational will be discussed so that participants will be able to recognize FASD symptoms. The diagnostic process and screening tools utilized by the University of Washington will be reviewed. The Parent Child Assistance Program will be described and treatment approaches discussed. Participants will receive information on the utilization and involvement of Child Protective Services as a collaborator to achieving healthy family units. This training will assist participants with learning what specialized treatment options exist for families and how to refer patients to those services.

Additionally, participants will be able to hear a first hand account of a patient's journey through addiction and family dysfunction as she tells how the services of the Parent Child Assistance Program, The University of Washington FASD Diagnostic Team and family treatment helped her break the cycles of dysfunction in her life.

Participants will be able to:

- identify the common issues that perpetuate family dysfunction,
- name three ways in which prenatal alcohol exposure contributes to increased risk for lifelong problems,
- describe fetal alcohol spectrum disorder symptoms,
- provide basic screening for FASD and know sources for referrals,
- describe the Parent Child Assistance Program, and
- identify the role of DCFS/CPS and how to coordinate services.
