For too long, addiction has been misunderstood and stigmatised. Engaging in ongoing substance use or repetitive harmful behaviours has been conceptualised as selfish, lazy, immature, self-indulgent and irresponsible, and treatment options can range from controlling and disrespectful to punitive and coercive. This presentation will help participants reconceptualise addiction as an attempt to manage chronic dysregulated emotional states, and empower the clinician to use collaborative, person-centred interventions that assist with emotion regulation through a compassion-based, harm-reduction lens while upholding ethical, evidence-based and respectful practice standards.
PESI Australia, in collaboration with PESI in the USA, offers quality online continuing professional development events from the leaders in the field at a standard recognized by professional associations including psychology, social work, occupational therapy, alcohol and drug professionals, counselling and psychotherapy. On completion of the training, a Professional Development Certificate is issued after the individual has answered and submitted a quiz and course evaluation. This program is worth 1.25 hours CPD for points calculation by your association.
