SBIRT - Screening, Brief Intervention & Referral to Treatment

Nick Szubiak, President of NSI Strategies, will come to RC3 to teach this free SBIRT (Screening, Brief Intervention & Referral to Treatment) certification course. The training will be across 2 days, Tuesday, August 15th (full day 9am-4pm) and Wednesday, August 16th (half day 9:45am-1pm). This class is open to anyone (you MUST work or live in Wilson County, NC) but spots are limited so be sure to register quickly!

SBIRT Training is designed to positively impact patient outcomes in the realm of substance use by providing effective training in SBIRT skills for healthcare providers. In addition to providing the knowledge and skills needed, the activities provide the opportunity to practice skills learned through interactive case vignettes.

The learner will be able to appropriately screen for and identify substance misuse, plan and implement a tailored brief intervention, and will apply the SBIRT approach to substance misuse problems by individualizing these clinical skills to different patients. This knowledge will improve care management and referral skills for patients with relatively more severe substance use problems and improve follow-up and brief treatment skills for patients with substance use problems.

Our activity highlights ways to collaborate and communicate effectively with patients using a patient-centered approach, including information sharing, respect, support, and patient empowerment.
