Supporting Special Populations from Prevention to Treatment

Supporting Special Populations from Prevention to Treatment

Tuesday, Aug 13, 2024

9:30am-12:30pm

Albany Guardian Society 12 Corporate Woods Blvd Albany, NY

We as providers seek to support the clients in our care at various points along the continuum of care as it relates to substance use. We may participate in activities that are focused on prevention, such as in schools and other spaces, or we may be a service provider who is engaged in treatment of clients who are challenged by substance use. While we may come in contact with individuals at different points but a key aspect of providing care is the provision of support focused on where the client lands in either their thinking around substance use such as in prevention or coming to a space where they would like to engage in treatment. This workshop leans into the promise that no matter where clients may land regarding potential use, treatment, and recovery we can provide support and services that meet their individualized needs.

Learning Objectives

1. Participants will begin the identification of the activities that they participate in along the continuum of care and the opportunities to provide both support and empathy,
2. Participants will identify and plan for the unique challenges that special populations in their community may face along the continuum of care such as lack of access to specialized services, etc.,
3. Participants will learn to build coalitions of care that can provide collaborative and supportive care to the clients in their care.
