Course description:

Participants were guided through a brief tour of the history of both CRA and the CRAFT model, with particular attention to its relationship to Motivational Interviewing, its use of reinforcement and natural consequences, and the implications of CRAFT’s standing towards individuals with substance use issues and their loved ones; it culminates in a demonstration of CRA and CRAFT interactions, providing participants with a clear example of how the approach is applied. Finally, it introduces learners to resources and directions to pursue in order to further develop the skills needed to apply CRAFT with their clientele.

Learning objectives:

  1. Describe the process components of the CRAFT model.
  2. Explain the ethical implications of CRAFT.
  3. List three examples of positive reinforcement and three examples of negative consequences.

Learning outcome:

Participants will learn to support healthy changes for older adults with problematic substance use and their families.
