A Harm-Reduction Approach to Addictions (Tatarsky HS 096026)

Course overview

More than one-third of Americans struggle with problematic substance use and other risky or addictive behaviors, but they often have a great deal of ambivalence about changing them. Even with clients whose issues are mild on the severity spectrum, it's difficult getting to the heart of the complex reasons, unique to each person, for this roadblock to change. This workshop offers a comprehensive psychobiosocial model for understanding and working with these behaviors through Integrative Harm Reduction Psychotherapy (IHRP), which can be immediately incorporated into your practice.
