Co-occurring Disorders

The Great Lakes MHTTC is offering this training for individuals working in HHS Region 5: IL, IN, MI, MN, OH, WI. This training is being provided in response to a need identified by Region 5 stakeholders.

 

 

DESCRIPTION:

Co-occurring psychiatric and substance use disorders can complicate treatment and many issues go unmanaged. Without integrated care people are also likely to develop medical concerns like diabetes or chronic pain. This presents a difficult treatment problem for professionals to solve and family members to navigate, as it can be difficult to know the best place to start. This class presents an integrated care approach using the Stages of Change model.

 

LEARNING OBJECTIVES:

  • Recognize the importance of adopting an integrated approach
  • Examine the neurobiology and risk factors of co-occurring substance use and mental health disorders
  • Acquire a more complex understanding and application of the Stages of Change
  • Explore different models and approaches to treatment of co-occurring disorders through scenario work

 

 

CERTIFICATES:

Registrants who fully attend this event or training will be eligible to receive 2.0 hours of continuing education from the MN Board of Social Work and/or the MN Board of Behavioral Health and Therapy. Certificates are disseminated via email to all qualifying individuals approximately two weeks after the conclusion of the event or training.
