Combatting Youth Substance Use
Copyright :
Shockingly, over 80% of adults with addiction started their substance use during childhood or adolescence.
As clinicians, probation officers, teachers, medical professionals, and clergy, our role in combatting youth substance use is paramount in shaping our children’s futures and saving their lives.
Join Paul to learn interventions, prevention strategies, and education initiatives tailored to combat youth substance use, including how to:
- Recognize the signs of substance use
- Perform age-appropriate screening and assessment
- Operationalize cognitive behavioral and motivational interviewing techniques
- Use clinical strategies to engage the client’s family in treatment
By implementing the right solutions, we can guide children through the challenging journey to adulthood and independence.
