Jump to Course Contents
Description
Though we may specialize in providing help with drug specific behavior, every client we work with also presents with a mental health and or situational problem. We want to stay within our scope of practice, but also address the immediate concerns of our clients. Short of fragmenting services by referring to a mental health counselor or simply sending clients for medication, how can we help? This webinar introduces mastery problem-solving as a way to address psychological and situational problems within the scope of our practice. It introduces a structure and skills that can be adapted to individuals from diverse backgrounds and cultures. It incorporates a provision for building up skills and expertise. It’s good preparation for a field moving toward integrated care.
Learning Objectives
  • Participants will be able to describe a format for integrating drug use behavior change into life counseling.
  • Participants will be able to summarize the six stages of mastery problem-solving.
  • Participants will be able to learn to identify, narrow down, and clarify issues they want to address during sessions.
