You already know how much of a supporter of addiction education and training I am. I think that there are thousands of ways to treat any given addict and unless those of us in the addiction treatment profession keep up with information, we’re neglecting our clients and giving them less than a full chance at getting better.
What is that you say? Constantly keeping up with new information is hard! Well we might just have a solution for you – and A3 even got you a discount on it (read below)!
The West Coast Symposium on Addictive Disorders (WCSAD) – Is a three-day conference (June 3-5) taking place in La Quinta California at the La Quinta Resort & Club. You get to learn and network at the same time while getting to hear presentations on some of the most important, relevant, and current topics in addiction and addiction treatment:
- SBIRT (Screening, Brief Intervention, Referral to Treatment)
- Ethics
- Intervention training
- Treatment practice and theory
- Gambling
- Eating disorder education
- Pain and Addiction
- Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
- Motivational Interviewing (MI)
- Gender issues
- EEG Biofeedback
- Counseling skills
- And so much more!!!
At the end of the three days you should be much better educated on addiction in general and on any specific topic you feel really passionate about or interested in. You can also earn Continuing Education credits and come by and meet us at our booth too!
