Description

*Please note: It is mandatory to attend the entire sessions in order to receive credit.

Data indicates that in 2020, 40.3 million Americans aged 12 and older had a substance use disorder. This number has been rising over the years and as a chronic disease, substance use disorders need to be identified and addressed across healthcare settings and not just in specialized treatment environments. While organizations such as the World Health Organization, Substance Abuse Mental Health Services Administration (SAMSHA), and U.S. Preventative Services Task Force all recommend implementation of SBIRT, widespread adoption of the evidenced-based framework has been slow.

As trusted professionals working in various settings, social workers are well-positioned to complete SBIRT. This training will provide participants with an understanding of the SBIRT framework, including how to integrate and implement the SBIRT components in their work setting. Participants will also gain knowledge of motivational interviewing and understand the application of motivational interviewing techniques in the completion of the brief intervention.

Join experts from Mosaic Group as they share trusted, proven, and valuable tools to successfully implement this evidence-based framework.
