DESCRIPTION:For more information and registration: CLICK HERE\n  \n \nOn May 19th & 20th\, Dr. Andrew Tatarsky will speak about Integrated Harm Reduction Psychotherapy. Make sure you’re one of the 55 people who can hear him. \nDr. Andrew Tatarsky is the pioneer of the Integrative Harm Reduction Psychotherapy (IHRP) approach for treating addictive and risky behavior\, trauma and other mental health issues. \nDuring this 2-day intermediate level workshop\, attendees will learn how Dr Tatarsky’s psychobiosocial model demystifies problematic drug use; utilizes an integrative harm reduction approach; and provides a road map to help clients maximize the benefits\, and minimize the risks\, in creating an optimal relationship to substance use. \nThis intensive training session will delve into the current scientific revolution in addiction treatment. Exploring the benefits of moving away from the disease model toward a psychobiosocial process model for understanding addiction and shifting treatment from the traditional abstinence-only approach to an integrative harm reduction method. \nParticipants will also learn the Seven Therapeutic Tasks of IHRP along with specific skills to facilitate positive change\, including empathic listening\, mindfulness\, urge-surfing\, microanalysis\, embracing ambivalence\, and decisional balance. \nDay One\, Thursday\, May 19: Topics include the origins and core principles of the harm reduction model—its psychobiosocial framework and how it informs fundamentals for conceptualizing\, assessing and treating substance misuse and other risky behaviors. This model demystifies problematic drug use with an integrative harm reduction approach that provides a road map for helping clients maximize the benefits and minimize the risks in creating an optimal relationship to substance use.  \nDay Two\, Friday\, May 20: Participants will learn the Seven Therapeutic Tasks of IHRP along with specific skills to facilitate positive change including empathic listening\, mindfulness\, urge-surfing\, microanalysis\, embracing ambivalence and decisional balance. Participants will be taught to identify the Seven Therapeutic Tasks and their meanings and engagement\, and collaboration skills will be taught utilizing role play. Case study examples will be provided\, followed by time for reflective questions and concluding takeaways. \n10 Continuing Education credits will be earned by Social Workers\, Professional Counselors\, Psychologists and Licensed Drug and Alcohol Counselors who attend. \nOnly 55 seats are available.

SUMMARY:Cross-Cultural Communication for Addiction Professionals
DESCRIPTION:Instructor: Regina Ford\, MA \nEvery community\, population\, and group has its own culture\, but how is culture understood when it is mainly comprised of unwritten rules? Culture is more than age\, race\, gender\, and socioeconomic status. However\, it can be difficult to assess the way culture shapes the identity of self and the way identity guides how we serve others. How does cultural competence differ from cultural sensitivity? And where does cultural awareness come into play? Participants will be able to list the components that constitute culture: norms\, values\, language\, artifacts\, technology\, and symbols. Participants will be guided in critiquing their self-identified culture. The impact of implicit bias on professionalism will be discussed. Participants will be able to state the difference between cultural competence\, cultural awareness\, cultural sensitivity\, and cultural humility. Participants will demonstrate the differences in approach to those in positions of power\, while illustrating skills needed to build trustful relationships. Participants will construct effective strategies for communication that addresses potential barriers and builds relationships of trust. \nCE Credits: 6 Cultural
