What does healing mean when trauma and addiction converge?
This conference brings together clinicians using complementary approaches to the complex work of treating traumatic stress and problematic substance use. Across presentations, demonstration, panel discussion, and Q&A, participants will examine how healing can be supported without losing sight of the person behind the symptoms.
The program is designed for psychologists, social workers, psychiatrists and other psychiatric providers, mental health counselors, CASACs, and other professionals working at the intersection of trauma and addiction.
