Goal of Training
Recovery and treatment can happen for the whole family. Addiction to psychoactive substances destroys individuals, families, communities, societies and cultures. This presentation will guide participants to understand addiction through a systemic lens and how systemic framework relates to the bio-psycho-social model of addiction. Portions of the training will include client, family and community psycho-education as well as reasons to involve families in the treatment process. Participants will build a foundation to increase competencies working with individuals and families to address the cycle of addiction, specifically substance use.
This workshop will combine family systems theory and theoretical family therapy models to conceptualize addiction in a broader context. Facilitators will share their knowledge and experience working with families struggling with addiction in residential and outpatient treatment. Using theoretical models and interventions, facilitators will demonstrate how to use a systemic lens in addiction counseling, specifically examining the parallel process of addiction. Participants will be able to dialogue about their clients and families using skills and strength-based language.
