Description
Note: This course is only available to individuals who practice or reside in Maine.
This presentation describes how to design systems and services based on the expectation that individuals and families will have co-occurring MH, SUD, health conditions, trauma, and other complex needs, so that all programs are “co-occurring programs” and all people providing services – including psychopharmacology practitioners – are “co-occurring helpers.” The presentation describes the six evidence-based principles of intervention for integrated service delivery and illustrates how any individual or team can begin to apply these principles and interventions in their own program in order to have more success – and more fun – working with the people with complex challenges who need our help the most.
The workshop provides an opportunity to go into detail on how the six evidence-based principles can be specifically applied to developing competency-based practice in any MH and SUD program, by any person in a helping role, with any level of licensure or training, including peers and front-line staff. See Contact Hours below for information on continuing education credits offered for this course.
