3 contact hours total:
3 NBCC approved credit hours
3 NCSAPPB approved credit hours of substance use specific (SS) & Substance Abuse Issues Affecting Veterans (SAV)
*** This training is the second half of the day, and the Treating Anxiety and Addiction workshop is the first half of the day. You can sign up for just one or both.
Our country has been at war for more years than some young veterans have been alive. Veterans who are physically and mentally challenged or disabled are returning home in large numbers. They are utilizing mental health services to ask for help as they suffer from depression, anxiety, panic attacks, addiction, and more symptoms of trauma. Using your skills learned from the first half of the day, you’ll have a skill set to offer veterans.
We’ll look at the specific challenges that veterans faced in leaving their families to fight, the losses, anger, and grief of engaging in battle, the loss of connection to fellow soldiers, survivor’s guilt, and the return home to a family and a world that has greatly changed. We’ll explore and discuss the neuroscience behind trauma, loss, and recovery. We’ll learn emotional regulation skills and identify resources at the grassroots level of offering mental health care and addiction treatment in western North Carolina.
OBJECTIVES:
Lunch, snacks, coffee, water, and tea are all included!
We look forward to seeing you there!
