Collateral Damage: The Family Experience of Substance Use Disorder
07/20/2022 at 2:00 PM (EDT)  |  Recorded On: 07/26/2022
07/20/2022 at 2:00 PM (EDT)  |  Recorded On: 07/26/2022 Research shows us that one of the primary reasons that people go to treatment is family. We also know that families are severely impacted by the stress and trauma and they are often left feeling left out of the treatment and recovery process. In this hour we will explore the impact on families, how trauma causes similar changes in the brain that mirror cravings in their loved ones and how with education, support and self-care families can be an important source of strength and a resource to those with a substance use disorder.

Harm Reduction in Social Work Practice with Substance Use and Misuse
07/21/2022 at 2:00 PM (EDT)  |  Recorded On: 07/26/2022
07/21/2022 at 2:00 PM (EDT)  |  Recorded On: 07/26/2022 This interactive webinar explores harm reduction as applied to social work practice with substance use and misuse across all systems levels. Discussion begins with the tenets of harm reduction and social work values, the language we use to talk about substance use and misuse, as well as examples of harm reduction in practice (like New York City’s overdose prevention sites). Some tools for incorporating harm reduction in everyday practice are shared. Then, we check in with ourselves about acceptance, ambivalence, and resistance to harm reduction-based practice in our clinical work, our communities, and our systems and collaborate on ideas for implementation of harm reduction in social work and in our daily lives. Learning Objectives: • Identify the tenets of harm reduction in social work practice with substance use and misuse • Compare tenets of harm reduction with social work values • Integrate a harm reduction lens into your social work practice and beyond
