Our two-part workshop provides practitioners with effective solutions to identify young people who have symptoms of a substance use disorder and then to help them and their families connect with treatment, including adolescents who appear to be resistant to treatment.
Learning Objectives
Participants will be able to:
- Utilize common screening tools to screen adolescents for substance use concerns
- Identify young people who are at high- to moderate risk of substance use disorders
